Just watching F1 practice. I had totally missed the news from 2 weeks ago. Most of you probably know of Alex Zanardi, ex F1 driver had a horrendous accident in Indy car, and lost both his legs. He came back and won races and championships, before winning 4 paralympic Golds in hand cycling. 2 weeks ago he lost control of his handcycle and hit a truck, he has had 2 operations and is still in an induced coma  |

I did hear. He is a remarkable man, and my thoughts are with him and his family.

Not just as a dev but as an Italian I’m f***ing heartbroken. He’s such a funny, genuine, brilliant guy.
The world sucks.

I’d heard when it initially happened, I think his injuries are extremely serious. Horrendous, especially after fighting back from his injury. I hope he recovers, but I also hope he recovers to well enough to live a fulfilling life. Sometimes recovery isn’t always the best option for the person involved 😔

I am also a big Formula One fan, I have been to Silverstone in 1992, 94 and 96 and I remember when Zanardi won his gold medal. I am a long suffering Ferrari fan!
Anyway here’s to Austria,

Oh no! I hate hearing this  I saw him race in 1998 at MidOhio Raceway. He won the CART championship that year. I'm glad F1 is racing again, I'm looking forward to the race tomorrow. Wonk have you watched Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix? |

Oh no! I found out about Zanardi when I wrote a feature on him for one of my journalism classes in college. Hope he makes a speedy recovery!
