Formula One Beaver?
The Daily Mail reports on the latest contribution Canada has made to the world of sports: Formula One racing beavers!
A brave beaver was pictured as it tried to race alongside Lewis Hamilton’s car - but it proved to be a bad omen for the driver who later crashed out of the Canadian Grand Prix.
The fearless creature was photographed scampering alongside Hamilton’s car as he got in some practice for yesterday’s big race.
As Hamilton sped round the track the chubby rodent hurtled as fast as it could down the tarmac.
Although I am not sure about the first picture, the second one appears to be showing a woodchuck, not a beaver. Either way, this is a great day for auto racing. (Insert gratuitous beaver joke of your choice here.)

Sent them an email - woodchuck or ground hog [whichever they prefer], but not a beaver.

Looks Photo-shopped to me.

It’s a wood chuck- but I don’t see any sponsors’ logos.

I have seen a beaver; and you, sir, are no beaver!

I think the driver of the car has just taken the Canadian Sport of "Chasing Beaver" high tech.
