First, it was a bird last year. This time, so close to a groundhog.
Max Verstappen narrowly avoided hitting a groundhog during the Canadian Grand Prix, just one year after hitting a bird in the same race. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is known for its groundhog sightings, with Verstappen nearly colliding with one on lap 32. Thankfully, he managed to swerve at the last moment to avoid hitting the animal. Lando Norris and George Russell confirmed that the groundhog ran off the track after the near miss. Verstappen expressed relief that he didn’t hit the groundhog, referring back to last year’s incident with a bird. Russell humorously mentioned the difference between hitting a groundhog and a beaver.
