F! Driver excuses

[Pembroke Pat]

From the BBC website:-

QUOTE

Meanwhile, Briton Anthony Davidson was cursing his luck after hitting a beaver on lap 37, while in third place, although he still equalled his highest finish, coming 11th.

"It is such a shame about the beaver. It had it in for me I'm sure," he said.

"I couldn't even see it at high speed and I could not understand why I suddenly locked up the front tyres and so I had to come into the pit lane."

I think the comment from Planet-F1 is brill

"The condition of the beaver is not known, but there are understandable fears that it may not be able to attend next year's race."

Beaver to blame for accident

I'd have though that beaver abuse was more of an Eddie Irvine thing...
