ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Bruno Senna, nephew of the late three-time Formula One world champion Ayrton, hit a stray dog that ran onto the track during a GP2 support race at the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday, ending the Brazilian's hopes of victory.
The safety car was deployed after two dogs appeared on the track during the race, about three hours before the grand prix was due to start.
Senna, 24 years old and co-championship leader coming into the weekend, hit one of the dogs. The impact broke his car's front right suspension.
The other dog escaped through an exit gate.
The Brazilian, who had worked his way up to sixth place from 15th on the starting grid before the impact, made his anger evident when he returned to the pits.
