Senna Hits Stray Dog, Ends Day At Turkish Grand Prix

We watched the first part of the Turkish Grand Prix this morning and after the first corner featured some serious car over car accident action and the Ferrari/Mercedes slap fest, we got a little bored and sought out better things to do with our Sunday. Our mistake. We missed the Bruno Senna stray dog destruction derby. Yep, Fido (do wild dogs have names?) and a friend wandered onto the track. Fido's friend escaped but Fido wasn't so lucky, and ended up being struck by Senna's right suspension. Both the suspension and the dog found their end. Yeah, Felipe Massa may have won the race, but we definitely know who lost. Poor, poor Fido. This video is not safe for members of the ASPCA, small children or anyone else with a strong dislike for seeing dogs accidentally run over on a track. [Eurosport and Youtube]

Felipe Massa Gets Fiat 500 and 20 Horses

A wise man once said, celebrity endorsements are the life's blood of useless crap. Of course, whoever that man is, he's looking somewhat less wise today. Despite Ferrari driver Felipe Massa's recent acceptance of a celeb-tuned Fiat 500 in Monte Carlo, all signs indicate it's a pretty damn nice car that'll likely help sustain Fiat's march toward corporate health. Massa's personal swag gets a special 1.4-liter four tweaked by tuned by Fiat Powertrain Racing to produce 120 hp (instead of the base 100), and comes with his signature embossed in the sill scuff plate. No word on limited-edition model based on this, though Fiat's massive accessorization program means Eurowide buyers can go nuts with the add-ons. Still, those looking for more horsepower will likely opt for Abarth-tuned models. More »

Hey Kids, Want Some Free Ferrari Stickers!

Shell and Ferrari are giving away a sheet of stickers celebrating the racing sponsorship deal between the two companies for the 2007 racing season. Although the stickers are, you know, for the kids — we think the little sticker of Ferrari team members Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa giving a thumbs-up is super adorable for racing fans of all ages. So get 'em while supplies last! – Ray Wert More »
