Much is being made of the puppy that ran out on the Buddh International Circuit during the first practice session of the Indian Grand Prix. The danger to the canine and drivers was thankfully averted unlike at the 2008 round of the GP2 Asia Series race in Istanbul where current F1 driver, Bruno Senna, hit a stray dog at high speed, killing the dog. HRT driver Narain Karthikeyan also recalls the sight of hares running across circuits in England when he raced in Formula 3. Former F1 driver, Christiano DaMatta, had to be hospitalised after he hit a deer at the Road America circuit in the United States in 2006 during a test session.
