This is the horrifying moment a hare was run over by Formula One star Pierre Gasly during the practice run at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.

Luca Christopher Di Falco, 21, from Italy, was recording during the practice session at Imola on May 16, 2025, when a large hare suddenly dashed across the track.

Tragically, the hare was hit by F1 driver Gasly and killed.

Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, Gasly said: "Very sadly, I couldn't tell if it was a small cat or a big rabbit - it turned out it was a big rabbit - just jumping across the track. "

"I couldn't avoid it so I had quite a big impact on the front wing, which, unfortunately that was it for the rabbit and for the front wing it was not ideal."
