"I still have blood on my race suit, there were pieces of the bird on the rollbar. I couldn't see where I was going any more, there's plenty on the aero screen, he said."
"Mimi Bekhechi, the senior vice-president for Peta UK and Europe, accused the 40-year-old of lacking empathy. Birds have feelings, apparently more than Grosjean does, considering that he seemed more concerned with his car, helmet, and suit all replaceable than the smash-up of this unsuspecting bird."
"Peta highlighted the plight of birds raised in factory farms and promised to send Grosjean some plant-based chicken."
"In 2018 during practice for Formula One's Canadian Grand Prix, a groundhog got on the course as Grosjean drove through the 13th turn. The surprise, albeit unavoidable collision, damaged the nose of Grosjean's car."
Romain Grosjean angered Peta after making flippant remarks about hitting a bird while testing for the Indianapolis 500. He described the incident graphically, noting blood on his race suit and pieces of the bird on his car. Peta's senior vice-president criticized Grosjean for lacking empathy, emphasizing that birds have feelings. Peta also highlighted issues related to factory-farmed birds and offered Grosjean plant-based chicken. This incident is not the first for Grosjean, who previously struck a groundhog during a Formula One practice session in 2018.
