Special thoughts go out today to one of motorsport's most emblematic figures, Alex Zanardi, born on this day 57 years ago.
It's been a while since we've had any news about the Italian driver and Paralympian who suffered a traumatic hand-cycling accident in Italy in June 2020.
Zanardi enjoyed 41 Grand Prix starts in his career between 1991 and 1999, but reached his peak in the US as a double CART IndyCar champion, in 1997 and 1998.
Sadly, his success in CART was cut short by a horrendous accident at the Lausitzring in 2001 in which he lost bost his legs.
But Zanardi, as brave and courageous as they come, surmounted the adversity to fight his way back behind the wheel of a racing car, supported by BMW in the WTCC and in endurance racing.
However, the best testimony to the Italian's exceptional fortitude, determination and heroism is his massive success in handbike racing, the Italian winning four gold medals at the 2012 and 2016 Paralympics.
