Super Aguri has since folded, but at that year’s Canadian Grand Prix it was their British driver Anthony Davidson, who had qualified in 17th, who was moving up the grid at a decent pace.

Midway through the race, Davidson was forced to make an unscheduled pit stop after a beaver allegedly hit the front of his car, causing him front wing damage.

The pit crew were so engrossed in watching Davidson’s race on the screen that they did not notice he had made a pit stop. The Briton came to a halt in the pit lane waiting for the crew to notice him; eventually, the driver finished in 11th after a series of retirements on the grid.
