Senna retires after hitting dog during GP2 race
Brazilian Bruno Senna, nephew of the late triple Formula One world champion Ayrton, retired from a GP2 support race at the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday 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 Senna incident killed the other dog instantly, but luckily the 24-year-old – although clearly enraged – emerged unscathed, although he had to retire from the race with damaged suspension, bringing out the safety car.
