Is this the Wall of Champions?

No, but this is. There's a tricky wall at turns 12 and 13 where drivers from Ricardo Zonta to David Coulthard have fallen prey. The "Quebec Wall" also became known as the "Wall of Champions," taking the name after F1 champions Jacques Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill all hit it during the same 1999 race. Notice the banner Schumacher impacts says "Welcome to Quebec" in French. Coincidence?
