May 11 (GMM) Race director Charlie Whiting on Sunday made it clear that F1's governing body is not happy with the Turkish grand prix organisers following the stray dog incident during the GP2 race.

The FIA delegate said the presence on the circuit of two stray dogs, one of which was struck at high speed by Bruno Senna and the other triggering the deployment of the safety car, was a clear breach of the sporting regulations.

"I have formally reminded the Clerk of the Course and the organiser of their responsibilities, and how seriously the FIA views this incident," Whiting said in a statement.

He added that he ordered special checks on all circuit gates, internal access points and all other parts of the Istanbul Park circuit prior to the formula one race at 3pm.

"Finally, given the seriousness of the matter a formal report will be submitted to the FIA," Whiting said.
