Wall of Champions

The Wall of Champions is a concrete wall at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in the outer curve of a tight bend turning to the left of the last chicane of the track. The wall was decorated with the slogan Bienvenue au Quebec - welcome to Quebec.

The wall got its name after the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix, when F1 world champions Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve collided with the wall and retired with terminal damage.
