Animal rights organisation PETA has urged Canadian Grand Prix organisers to implement stronger wildlife deterrents after Williams driver Alex Albon crashed out of Friday's sole practice session while taking evasive action to avoid a marmot.
The Thai-British driver suffered a heavy shunt into the barriers on the exit of Turn 7 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, a track notorious for its local groundhog population. Albon lost control of his FW48 after coming across a marmot on the track, sustaining damage to the right side and rear of the car.
