Formula One's Infamous "Wall of Champions"

submitted by gorillaman

1 decade 7 years 9 months ago

"Bienvenue au Quebec" is the slogan on the wall of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve's final corner. In the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix it acquired its nickname by claiming the race of three former world champions: Michael Schumacher, Jacques Villeneuve and Damon Hill; since then many more drivers and champions have hit the wall, as this compilation demonstrates.

you know... after this many crashes at the same place, you'd think you'd expand that turn a bit or something.

you know... after this many crashes at the same place, you'd think the drivers would learn to watch out and slow down before the turn

or

you know... after this many crashes in Formula One history, you'd think they got rid of all the turns and drove a straight line

if it was crashes all over the track, your point would have weight. The same place, though? Even years after, when drivers know about the "problem spot"? If it keeps claiming drivers at the same spot, I'd guess it's no longer (totally) the driver's fault, and something needs to be done to make the track a bit safer there.

I know I've heard of lots of races where they talked of canceling the race because they couldn't get a banked-turn installed soon enough, endangering the drivers.
