When 2 time UIM F1 World Champion Sami Seliö was preparing his team for this weekend’s opening round of the 2017 F1H2O series in Portimão, little did he realise that a small fluffy animal would cause a few sleepless nights.

How could he transport the family rabbit back to Helsinki from his home in Tenerife?

The Seliö family found that if they had a dog or a cat then Norwegian would allow them on board the flight, but not with a rabbit!

Seliö spoke to Finnair and they said that the rabbit would need a pet passport and have a chip installed before it could travel.

When we spoke to Seliö earlier today he confirmed that is was safely back in its Helsinki Hutch!
