Romain Grosjean Under Fire From Peta Over Bird Strike Comments
French racing driver Romain Grosjean has drawn criticism from animal rights group Peta for what they called 'flippant' comments after striking a bird during Indianapolis 500 testing at around 230 mph. Grosjean described graphic details of the incident, including blood and bird pieces on his car. Peta accused the 40-year-old of lacking empathy, stating birds have feelings and are more than replaceable car parts. This is not the first time Grosjean has struck an animal on track, having hit a groundhog during 2018 Canadian Grand Prix practice.
