non ha più le gambe eppure lo invidio e tanto, ha una forza d'animo che non avrò mai. Una persona solo da ammirare, un esempio per TUTTI. Grande Alex!
Probably the BEST F1 driver - yep, somebody could say Schumacher has more winnings and trophies but Zanardi drives like an insane! Im glad he is still driving and winning despite his HARD crash - UR the man Alex!!!
The creator of the Doughnut! A true idol and hero in every sense of the words, I feel privileged enough to have met him. The man is an example of how we should be living our lives.
I remember watching him on a street race pass at the same corner every lap to come from the back of the field to win. He was awesome and I got great enjoyment watching him and then Montoya dominate for the Target Chip Ganassi team. I wish I could watch that race again but I cannot work out which one it was. When Alex crashed I stopped watching CART - it wasn't the same!
Sebbene io pensi che chi si mette su una F1 deve mettere in conto anche le sfighe (fanno parte di quel mestiere), devo dire che le stesse sfighe hanno tirato fuori da Zanardi un grande uomo. Per quello che ha fatto dopo l'incidente, ho il massimo rispetto. Grande Zanardi, e complimenti per l'idea e per il video.
that cleveland race in '01 he totally should've won but he had a tire puncture and it was that race in his return year that he really looked like the old zanardi and when he had his crash i think it was a shock to all of our systems. im glad he didnt die and actually won a race in touring cars with prosthetic legs- hes a champ
Easily one of the most inspirational drivers ever - and thats even before the crash. Full of life, commitment to the sport, and untamed driving talent. The master of the Champ car donut as well. Brilliant guy - glad he survived the crash.
Never have Freddie's words been so apt. Alex is the Douglas Barder of the race cockpit. May I whole heartedly recommend his "My Story", it will inspire, and challenge you to get out of bed in th emorning, and give you a jolly good laugh along the way
Alex Zanardi is an unselfish man and a true champion. There are not many people who were kicked in the beginning , rose to stardom, lost half his body, and is still a true champion. He is by far "The Car Racing Italian Stallion". Come back to "open wheel"! You are missed!
Alex ha avuto il merito di far appassionare alla F.Cart moltissimi tifosi di automobilismo italiani, che per seguire le sue gare hanno fatto le nottate, a causa del fuso orario

man i can't imagine how it would feel to lose your legs and not beable to race ever agian. I LOVE to drive/ race it is passion....i would have prob killed myself. after that acciddent
right. Thats when they changed to grooved tires. He was so used to the heavy car with the steel brakes and slicks. He would also have done better if the atmosphere were more brotherly like it is/was in CART
He was on Wind tunnel with Dave Despain. I though to myself "Alex Zanardi there's a name i haven't heard in a while" He is over in germany racing Mercedes-Benz AMG's.
right on Bro-man. He actually won once or twice already. Aint that some shit!? No legs and he STILL has the ability to win in a pretty impressive form of auto racing. Alex is God.
Not really.. not special reason. Just not fond of the Robotic arrogance he has. He is good and has all the records but I just don't like him. similar to why I can't stand JJ in NASCAR.
He can be arrogent bacuase he has 7 world titles. But i also believe that he let those world titles go to his head. Every F1 driver uses Senna as a measuring stick (in terms of talent)
In NASCAR everyone uses Dale Sr. and Jeff Gordon as a measuring stick in terms of talent.
And trust me JJ doesn't even come close to the both of them.
It is sad to se how the best of the best ends up. But it is the way life keeps on going, God Bless You Alex you are truly the best driver of this era.
SUPERB Driver - Alessandro is ONE OF THE BEST DRIVERS EVER! And one thing at the end - now everyone could see that when U born to drive U do NOT need legs for it.
not to forget that Alex won 2 races i the wtcc world touring car championship . a giant step when a motor race was won by a double amputated man against healthy people. the power is in your mind
My greatest Respect to Alex. 2 Years after he lost both legs, he drive "his Race" to its End. And he is the first Formular 1 Driver without legs. RESPECT and i salute
Mario muy bien hecho!!! Zanardi es un ejemplo para muchos!
