The Wall of Champions

Most F1 fans know the Wall of Champions. It's the wall on the exit of the last chicane on the Canadian F1 track in Montreal. But why is it called Wall of Champions? To find the reason for it we have to go back to the year of 1999, into the race of 1999 to be precisely. Because in this race, the wall got the name Wall of Champions. The story behind it is that in the 1999 race, first Damon Hill, world champion of 1996, crashed his Jordan Mugen-Honda into that wall. Later in the same race Michael Schumacher crashed his Ferrari into the same wall while the world champion of 1994 and 1995 was leading the race.

Just a few laps later, Jacques Villeneuve (World Champion of 1997) also crashed his BAR Supertech into the exact same wall.

And that is why the Wall Of Champions is called Wall Of Champions.
