About this audio guide
This guide to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve centers on the Wall of Champions, a stretch of concrete beside the pit straight that humbled three Formula One champions within twenty laps on one weekend in June nineteen ninety-nine. You'll hear Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve each explain, in their own words, how they ended up there. It also traces the wall's more recent visitors, from Jenson Button to a two thousand twenty-five championship leader.
