Romain Grosjean made up for his rookie errors in Barcelona to claim victory in Sunday's sprint race in Istanbul, but the Frenchman's success was overshadowed by a potentially serious incident involving a charging Bruno Senna.
Two dogs turning up on the track at the same time 2 corners apart? Coincidence?
The white dog that Senna hit looked quite well kept from the replay, it didnt look like a stray.

while the brown dog was eventualy excluded from the race it seemed a tougher job was the order of the day for the white dog whos exit left him with no points and ive no doubt will not be competing in the next round. interviewed after the race the brown dog commented "its a shame, we were on for a podium today, i was just in Sennas slip stream when he collected my team mate,(white dog)this has hurt our championship deeply. i allways like to 'winalot'". on a serious note, this is disgrasfull and the circuit owners should be fined a huge some of money. FIA approved circuit? more like a nature reserve.

That was really bizarre - I don't think the circuit could really plan for something like that, but have to say I was stunned to see 2 dogs on the circuit at the same time! You don't get that very often! I expect to see a herd of cows for the grand prix.

im not one to start a rumour, but.....maybe, just maybe its a destablising tactic from sombody within the FIA whos position is a bit shakey at the moment. maybe they wanted to tarnish the reputation of a Grand Prix meeting. not naming names but im sure i saw a collar on one of the dogs, thick black leather, sharp metal studs, whip marks and the name Max on it. i could mistaken of course.

The FIA should commence a full investigation into the organisational ability of the Turkish circuit & its mnagement. It is not acceptable for this should have occured. It is not only tragic for the dog & for Senna,( who could have been killed), but it was distressing to see that the TV coverage seemed to take the event of the dogs on the track so lightly. I haven't seen this sort of hapening since the early 70s. I expect on very rare occassins that some idiot "fan" will run onto the track, but animals, NO. I hope that the FIA get to the bottom of this mess, & ensure it doesn't happen again
