Turkey In Trouble Over Dogs

13 05 2008

Turkey is once again in trouble with the FIA, but not over its podium ceremony! This time the circuit is possibly going to face sanctions over stray dogs which ran onto the track during the GP2 race.

2 dogs managed to run straight onto the track, one of which Bruno Senna smashed straight into.  The Brazilian came over the brow of a hill, having maybe a second to react and just caught the dog, which broke his right suspension.  He escaped from the smash uninjured.

“This was a serious lapse in circuit security and safety,” an International Automobile Federation (FIA) spokesman said.

“How could such a thing happen at an almost brand new Formula One track?

“The FIA Safety Commission will hold a full investigation into the matter which may then be referred to the world council,” he added.

After all the trouble of the podium ceremony the other year, is Turkey just a liability?  Lets face it though Bernie owns it so it won’t be dropped…
