2011FernandoAlonso's shared video file.
Sebastian Vettel is in the company of the great drivers in Formula One history — not just by winning the 2010 world championship, but also by crashing into the legendary "Wall of Champions" at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Vettel had his practice run at the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit cut short after only eight laps on Friday when he lost control the 14th turn and hit the same wall that earned its nickame after F1 champions Jacques Villeneuve, Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill left their mark on it.
Vettel, who has won five of the first six races on the schedule this year, did not appear to be hurt. He got out of the car on his own and walked to the safety van. The car was lifted by a crane and removed from the course. Sebastian Vettel was trying to navigate a quick right-left complex that leads onto the pit straight when he skidded and hit the wall with the right front tyre. Debris from his car was scattered over the track, bringing practice to a brief halt when the red flag was brought out. The German driver still managed to set sectond fastest time in P2 behind the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso
