'I lost control of the vehicle and hit the wall, there's nothing more to it than that.' - Oh, but the name has stuck for 25 years since...
To complete a lap at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, drivers must avoid the Wall of Champions at the exit of the final chicane. Here is a look back at how it got its name…
The first to crash into the wall was Ricardo Zonta. While not a World Champion in Formula 1, he was the reigning FIA GT champion after winning the International Formula 3000 title the year before, so he was certainly a title-winner in motorsport. “It was very clearly a mistake by myself,” the then-double World Champion admitted. “I seem to make one a year, and I hope that is the last one I make this year.”
