What did Formula One driver Al Pease become the first person to be disqualified for?

Victor "Al" Pease (15 October 1921 – 4 May 2014) was a British-Canadian motor racing driver, born in Darlington, England. Growing up in England, he joined the British Army as a young man, serving in India, Rhodesia and Egypt. After his service, he emigrated to the United States, then Canada, in the 1960s; after a brief career as an illustrator, he decided to take up motorsports.

He participated in three Formula One World Championship race's, making his debuting on 27 August 1967. He holds the unfortunate distinction of being the first and only competitor ever to be disqualified from a World Championship race for being to slow, in the 1969 Canadian Grand Prix. Pease was black-flagged after a series of on-track incidents, the last involving Matra driver Jackie Stewart. In response, Matra owner Ken Tyrrell protested to the officials and had Pease disqualified. At the time, Pease had only completed 22 laps in an uncompetitive car while the leaders had finished 46.
