In this note, we establish a sharp remainder formula for the Poincare inequality for the Baouendi-Crushin vector fields. We give a simple proof for it without using the variational principle. As an application, we obtain a blow-up result for solutions to the Dirichlet initial-boundary value problem for the Baouendi-Grushin heat operator.
