The shocking moment Lewis Hamilton is left 'devastated' after hitting a furry animal at 100mph and damaging his car in F1's Canadian Grand Prix
New footage has shown the moment Lewis Hamilton ran over a groundhog at Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix in an incident that left the Ferrari driver 'devastated'. Groundhogs have been familiar, if occasionally reckless, residents at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve throughout the Canadian Grand Prix's time on the calendar. Footage showed that the groundhog darted across the track during lap 13 of the race only to be struck by Hamilton's oncoming Ferrari. Hamilton was reportedly travelling at around 100mph when the incident occurred, which the collision leading to an audible thud and what appeared to be instant death for the animal. The impact not only killed the groundhog but caused visible damage to the floor of Hamilton's car, hampering his performance and contributing to a frustrating afternoon in Montreal. Ferrari said the incident, which occurred between turn 9 and 10, had severely compromised the car's aero downforce level. 🚨 | Lewis Hamilton hit a groundhog on lap 13 and that's where the damage comes from. — La Gazzetta Ferrari (@GazzettaFerrari) June 15, 2025 Speaking after the race, Hamilton told Sky Sports: 'It was feeling pretty decent up until then. And then, I didn't see it happen, but obviously I heard I hit a groundhog. 'So that's devastating. I love animals, and I'm so sad about it. That's horrible. That's never happened to me here before.' The damage, estimated at '20 points' by team engineers, left the Briton nursing his car to the finish line in sixth place. Reacting to the incident, Nicole Piastri — mother of McLaren driver Oscar — posted on social media: 'Oh no!!! RIP little groundhog. (not your fault Lewis).' Hamilton had qualified fifth, but brake issues, awkward pit stop timing, and the floor damage left him stuck in traffic as Mercedes dominated the day. George Russell stormed to victory from pole, while rookie Kimi Antonelli celebrated his first Formula One podium in third. Max Verstappen split the pair in second. The Canadian Grand Prix has a long history of wildlife encounters — with groundhogs, in particular, known to scurry onto the circuit during race weekends. In 2007, Anthony Davidson hit one while driving for Super Aguri. Thankfully, most are spotted in time and safely avoided — but sadly not this time. Hamilton added: 'It's never nice to see that. You don't want to be the cause of that. I just hope it didn't suffer.'

Tottenham set sights on ex-Man Utd transfer target after Bryan Mbeumo hijack
Tottenham and Manchester United are both trying to convince Bryan Mbeumo to sign for them this summer and now Spurs are weighing up a move for another star admired by their rivals Tottenham are said to be eyeing up a deal for long-term Manchester United target Jarrad Branthwaite as they continue to map out their plans for the summer transfer window under Thomas Frank. Spurs are anticipating a busy summer after choosing to replace Ange Postecoglou with Frank. And the Dane will be backed in the transfer market after the north London outfit booked their spot in the Champions League with victory in last month's Europa League final. Mirror Football revealed last week how Spurs have already sprung into action to try and rival Manchester United for Brentford talisman, Bryan Mbeumo. And a new report now claims that Tottenham have their sights set on another player admired by United in Branthwaite. The Everton defender, 22, was the subject of a £50million bid from United last summer but is now on Spurs' radar, according to The Mail. It's said that Tottenham could even formalise their interest later this week, although Everton are thought to consider Branthwaite as not for sale this summer. David Moyes is eager to keep the highly-rated centre half as the club ramp up their own preparations for the 2025-26 campaign, where they will officially grace their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for the first time. But Branthwaite is understood to be keen to step up to the next level with Spurs able to offer the former Carlisle United man Champions League football. While it remains to be seen if United have plans to revisit a deal for Branthwaite, they are very keen on bringing Mbeumo to Old Trafford after already wrapping up the capture of Matheus Cunha from Wolves. The Brentford star refused to be drawn on his future during an impromptu interview at the Canadian Grand Prix but he did tip his old Bees boss, Frank, to do well at Spurs. "He's done so much for me," Mbeumo told Sky Sports. "He literally trusted me from the start [at Brentford] and he developed the team so well. He developed me as a human and a player so much as well. I can only wish him all the best and I'm sure he's going to do well." He added: "He knows everything; he's really smart and knows what he wants to bring the team, how he wants them to play. He's been fantastic for Brentford." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
