Haas driver Romain Grosjean hit a groundhog in FP2

Romain Grosjean has questioned why the Canadian Grand Prix marshals did not remove the groundhog he struck in second practice after one had been shown trackside on television screens earlier in the session.

Late in the Friday afternoon session the Haas driver returned to the pits with a heavily damaged front wing, having struck the animal at the end of the back straight. Groundhogs are commonly seen around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve during race weekends and one had appeared on the TV feed during Friday's coverage.

With Haas limited on spare parts this weekend, Grosjean was left frustrated at the fact the animal was not removed from danger.
