F1 champion shocked as footage emerges of near crash with a dog
Most F1 drivers have encountered animals on the racetrack over the years, like groundhogs and lizards.
Damon Hill, a world champion, had a near miss with a dog at the 1994 Hungarian Grand Prix, a memory that had completely slipped his mind given the era.
Heinz-Harald Frentzen shared a video of Hill’s close call with the dog on social media, sparking nostalgia in fans.
The video showed the dog trotting onto the track as Hill navigated the wet conditions, narrowly avoiding a collision thanks to an observant marshal.
