Max Verstappen had DEAD BIRD stuck in F1 car as he easily won Canadian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen had a dead bird stuck in his right brake duct as he cruised to victory at the Canadian Grand Prix.

During the race, Verstappen informed his team on lap 11 that he had hit a bird, but it did not affect the Dutchman as he finished ahead of second-placed Fernando Alonso by almost 10 seconds.

And Red Bull chief Christian Horner quipped after the race that the bird hitting Verstappen's care was the most challenging incident he faced all race. "The biggest moment he had was hitting a bird that did half the race behind the front right brake duct," he said.
