thats a new one

Anyone watching the GP2 race today will have seen Poor Bruno Senna's bad luck continue with a collision with a dog. Poor Fido expired it would seem while another one decided to see how fast it could lap the track.
Lets hope the F1 race doesn't face the same incident's. Istanbul isn't in Bernies best books after the incident a few years back with the podium celebration.

Da matta aswell. Not long ago had a run in with a deer in champ car.
I've read another dog made its way on track at brazil but I cant remember it for the life of me.

He did, at the Osterreichring (prior to its shortening to become the A1-ring) in 1987 IIRC. The worst of course was Tom Pryce's fatal accident when he collided with a marshal at the 1977 SA GP at the old Kyalami. Both Pryce and the marshal were killed instantly; the marshal could only be identified by a process of elimination.

Ah yes, i dont remember it as i was too young but ive read about and seen the pretty graphic footage. The extinguisher the marshall was carrying hit him full in the face.....horrific

Think Jackie Stewart hit a dog in a mexican GP some years ago also?
