Yesterday’s Canadian Grand Prix provided a great race for Formula One fans, something the track in Montreal always seems to do.
Although George Russell picked up the first win of the season for Mercedes, the big story was about the championship-leading McLaren drivers, who collided with just four laps to go, forcing Lando Norris to retire and lose more ground to Oscar Piastri in the title hunt, as the Australian still managed to finish in 4th place.
After the wreck, the announcers immediately began comparing it to a strikingly-similar one in 2011. In that race, two McLaren cars collided in virtually the exact same spot in almost the exact same fashion. That incident involved drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, with Hamilton being forced to retire while Button continued on for the win:
This is #44 Hamilton’s first season with the Ferrari outfit. The last driver in F1 to die of injuries sustained while driving a Ferrari is Gilles Villeneuve, a Canadian Grand Prix winner who was the namesake for this circuit, which just held its 44th Grand Prix:
As I stated in my post on last year’s Canadian Grand Prix, September 11th is significant to Villeneuve because his fatal crash in 1982 was the closest one to a plane crash that I’ve seen. His car’s front wheel clipped the back wheel of the car in front of him, and he was launched out of his car and into the air, landing next to a nearby fence.
On Thursday of last week, the same day F1 drivers first got out on the track in Montreal, there was a significant plane crash that reportedly killed almost 250 people in India. Thursday was June 12th, the anniversary of the 2011 McLaren crash.
Gilles Villeneuve died 109 months, 4 days after the World Trade Center opened and 1009 weeks, 4 days before it was destroyed on September eleventh, Two thousand one:

1009 weeks, 4 days = 19 years, 4 months
Part 2 of this post explains how this riddle all traces back to the introduction of the Boeing 767 in 1982 – the same year Gilles Villeneuve was killed.
Last week’s plane crash involved India Air Flight 171. The digits in 171 can be rearranged to 711, which is important because the date September 11th, which consisted of four plane crashes in 2001, used to be written as 7/11 or 11/7 on the Roman calendar.
139 is the 34th Prime number
Six six six (666)
September 11th is written as 9/11
911 is the 156th Prime number
The 119th Composite number is 156
The race was held on 15/6
666 is the 36th Triangular number, and Villeneuve died during the 36th season of Formula One.
Norris was born in 1999
6+6+6 = 18
Gilles was born on the 18th day of the year
He also had numerology of 1+18+19+50 = 88. Beast = 88.
Six six six is revealed as the number of the Beast in the book of Revelation, where the number 144 is mentioned on four different occasions.
The number Six hundred sixty-six has Reverse gematria of 211, which has the same numerology as the year 2011.
2111 is the 318th Prime number
Just like 666, the number Sixty-six also has gematria of 211.
The race was held on 6/15. As 1+5 = 6, this date reduces to 6/6. This year, June 15th also had Primary numerology of 66:
Villeneuve won 6 races in 6 seasons
The battle between the two McLaren drivers truly began on lap 66, when Norris divebombed his teammate at the Turn 10 hairpin.
