CANADIAN GRAND PRIX Groundhogs

In the weeks leading up to the Canadian Grand Prix, Montreal city officials trap as many groundhogs as they can in and around the race course, and transport the animals to nearby Ile Ste-Helene.

                                                                                                                                                          


Nonetheless, in 2007, a groundhog disrupted the practuce session of Ralf Schumacher. On race day itself, Anthony Davidson had been running in third until he struck a groundhog, which forced him to pit and repir the front wing.




In 2008, a groundhog crossed the track at the hairpin in the 2nd practice session but luckily it did not disrupt the session.
