The Formula One season is still going on and we all are enjoying the action this season. The number 1 Autosports tournament has once again given us some great races to watch this season which we have enjoyed as racing fans already. The drivers such as Max Verstappen and Charles Le Clerc have given us incredible performances that are extremely unforgettable and we wish to see them perform their best going forward as well.

The Canadian Grand Prix was another great race to witness, where we saw Max Verstappen again dominate the race and won another big race and got some more important points for his team. This was once again the Red Bull team coming out as the most dominant team in the race.

Verstappen and the groundhog

There was no doubt Verstappen was in red-hot form and nothing was stopping him from winning another major race this season as he desperately needed a comeback after the previous two. It turns out that not only the fans, but the wildlife also wanted to get close to the action during his performance in the race. There was a groundhog that came in front of the Red Bull racer's car and was almost crushed by one of his wheels as well. The hog was lucky that its reflexes were quick enough to get out of the way before turning into road kill.

There were some funny reactions and comments on social media that made this a viral clip. This was one of the moments that was funny and iconic at the same time. Where you would be thinking of why the Rodent was too close to the car, but you also have to give props to its reflexes which saved his life in the end. It turns out the Dutch driver was not the quickest being on the day after all.
