VIDEO: Who has crashed at Canada's 'Wall of Champions'?

The Canadian Grand Prix has delivered many spectacular moments over the years, and the final corner of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is enough to strike fear int the hearts of drivers up and down the rid as they try to escape the clutches of the 'Wall of Champions'.

So named because, well… many champions have crashed into it, the barriers coming out of the final chicane are so close to the track and will take plenty of tap this weekend as F1 rolls into Montreal once again.

Leaving a smudge of rubber on the wall is fine, but take too many liberties and the wall will bite back.

So who has fallen foul of the legendary barrier in the past? Some serious royalty here.

The nickname truly took off after the 1999 staging of the Canadian GP.

Four drivers came a cropper at Turn 13 in the race and three of them – Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve – had world championships to their name.
