Hit a dog with a race car, get investigated

Apparently if you are holding a Formula 1 support race and you happen to, oh say, let stray dogs on to the track, and say, one of those dogs runs in front of a race car while at speed, killing the dog and tearing up the car, it can get you in some trouble.



Turkish Grand Prix organizers could face sanctions after two stray dogs ran onto the Istanbul track and one was hit by Brazilian Bruno Senna's car during a support race on Sunday.

"This was a serious lapse in circuit security and safety," an International Automobile Federation (FIA) spokesman said on Monday.

"How could such a thing happen at an almost brand new Formula One track?"

Happen it did though. I think Australian driver Mark Webber, a director of the Grand Prix Drivers Association (GPDA), summed it up best...

"They (the dogs) should not be allowed to get anywhere near or inside a racing environment," he said.

Thank you, Mr. Obvious.
