That\'s the bird (what\'s left) from the outside.

And inside.  At 180mph, a bird can actually get through the weatherstripping!!!

And yes, when this happens there\'s a mess.  The driver and Navigator were wearing full face helmets and did get messy.

I remember Eddie Irvine hitting a hare at silverstone some years ago. It was atomized into a ball of fur & meat spray.

Srefan Johansson did the same with a deer in the 80\'s (yes, that\'s right, a deer!!!) in Austria.

Both drivers walked away unhurt, which is fairly impressive in an open cockpit car.

The deer as I recall was recovered in Germany.............. an france, and Poland and.........
