Zanardi wins Gold at 2012 London Paralympics
Not sure this is the right place, seeing as he's not a current F1 driver but...
...this guy just continues to impress & inspire.

I saw this earlier.
He is amazing and he deserves so much credit.
He is not as well known in Britain as he should be because of his lack on success in F1, but he really is an inspiration, and its great to see what he has achieved.
And ironic that it happens at a former GP circuit.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

He's well known to a lot of people in the UK for his success in CART. I watched all the races on the way to his championships.

"Three years ago I stopped motor racing, at age 42. It seemed a stupid thing to do to drop everything. It was against all odds. But it's not the first crazy thing I did in life. In the end I was right. You should not chase pipedreams but, if you have a horizon to look into, happiness is just around the corner."
Quote I read on the BBc website. Knew there would be a thread on this, so just had to come and post a salute.The Hakk will rule forever.

Big ups to Alex. I can't say I'm surprised. The word quit is not in his (English) vocabulary, and I've never seen an interview with him where he went more than 5 seconds without a huge smile on his face.
May the forza be with you

I just posted my congrats in the Indycar Forum since CART is now all blended into Indycar. I sure hope Jimmy Vassar comes thru with his promise to AZ to put him in a car for the Indy 500 if he wins gold

Just saw this on another site...this man is amazing!
I wish he had been more successful in F1, but still whatever he has done in his life is more than most able bodied people can or will ever do.Tito Vilanova = :champion:
