Senna retires after hitting dog during GP2 race
Brazilian Bruno Senna, nephew of the late triple F1 world champion Ayrton, retired from a GP2 support race at the Turkish Grand Prix yesterday after hitting a stray dog that ran onto the track.
The safety car was deployed after two dogs appeared on the circuit during the race, some three hours before the grand prix was due to start.
Senna, 24 years old and joint championship leader before the weekend, hit one of them. The impact broke the car's front right suspension. The other dog escaped through an exit gate.
