I wonder who was the cause of the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix Lap 1 crash

So the Canadian Grand Prix was recently on and the only kiwi in it crashed on the first lap. Brendon Hartley was trying to go around the outside of home driver Lance Stroll. It is said Stroll had oversteer and nearly turned into the wall (not really though) and had to turn away as Hartley was on his outside. The result was this.


Race control said the accident was no one's fault and to let it be. Claire Williams, Deputy of Williams F1 which is the team that Stroll belongs to, said it was Hartley's fault. But many are opposing.

Now comes to me, I have come to solve it. I will study all angles of the crash and solve who's fault it was.

So it was decided and proven by Stroll himself he had understeer

As you can see Stroll was turning left on a right turn, meaning he was trying not to turn in to the wall

In this photo, you can see that Stroll in the white car is sideways, further proof he had oversteer

At the point of impact, Hartley was still trying to turn away from the wall. This suggests that this

Was Stroll's fault.

Like my dad always says, the day you don't look for a gap to get past is the day you don't belong in the car.

And that concludes my curiosity topic, that the lap one crash in Canada was Lance Stroll's fault rather than Brendon Hartleys. So you were wrong Claire Williams, it wasn't Hartley's fault. And I really hope that Hartley does better in France.

I wonder how the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve got it's name

So the Canadian Grand Prix is coming up and I am so ready for the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. But every time I hear the name I wonder why, why did the Canadians call it the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

Where is it?

It is in the middle of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. And it started hosting the GP in 1978 after safety concerns came out at Mosport Park which held the GP before it.

What is its history?

The circuit was originally called  Île Notre-Dame Circuit, after the island it is situated on, Île Notre-Dame. But in 1982 the circuit was renamed Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in honour of Gilles Villeneuve who died that year.

Who was Gilles Villeneuve?

Gilles Villeneuve was a Canadian Formula 1 driver who won only six Grand Prix in his short career. His first race was at the 1977 British Grand Prix where he raced for McLaren. He made his professional debut the year after full time with the Ferrari team. He raced until his death in 1982 at qualifying for the Belgium Grand Prix after colliding with Jochen Mass at the Zolder circuit. He was 32 years old. He was an idol and hero to many including his son Jaques Villeneuve, wherein 1997 became the first and only Canadian to win the F1 World Championship.

To commemorate him the start finish was decorated with a saying.
