When seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton suffered damage to his car during the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, the cause wasn’t initially clear.

The Canadian Grand Prix qualifying session had George Russell as the standout performer. During a dramatic finish, he secured the pole position. Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen were the main threats to the British driver.

Lewis Hamilton was left ‘devastated’ after finding out he had hit a groundhog during Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix. Groundhogs are familiar residents of the Circuit Giles Villeneuve, but they have been known to be reckless when F1 cars are on track.
