The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, the site of this weekend’s Formula One Canadian Grand Prix, has a groundhog problem.
The F1 racing circuit is back in Canada for the first time since 2019 after the race was canceled the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but not much has changed in terms of the groundhogs and their habitation alongside the rack.
During practice on Friday, a groundhog was seen dashing across the racing surface, narrowly escaping the wheel wells of Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz.
In 2018, a groundhog was hit on the race track when F1 made its annual appearance.
