Anyone watching the GP2 race today will have seen Poor Bruno Senna's bad luck continue with a collision with a dog. Poor Fido expired it would seem while another one decided to see how fast it could lap the track.
Lets hope the F1 race doesn't face the same incident's. Istanbul isn't in Bernies best books after the incident a few years back with the podium celebration.

He did, at the Osterreichring (prior to its shortening to become the A1-ring) in 1987 IIRC. The worst of course was Tom Pryce's fatal accident when he collided with a marshal at the 1977 SA GP at the old Kyalami. Both Pryce and the marshal were killed instantly; the marshal could only be identified by a process of elimination.
