this day on alex zanardi crasht was a shock for all the persons they was on this day by the german 500 ....but two years later was a great feeling wher alex complted the lost 13 rounds on the race track.....i m be worry that the last champ car race in germany was.....thanks for mail ....
Danke kind sir. Thanks for the good words about Alex. He is a great guy. He never made it big in F1 but he is a true hero to many because of his courage in the face of adversity.
Ich war bei allen 2 rennen dabei ich saß genau in der kurve in der er sein chrash hatte, es sah voll schlimm aus, aber 2 jahre später war das nächste rennen auf dem lausitzring und er hat seine letzten runden die er nichmehr zuende fahren konnte zuende gefahren, war wirklich voll hammer
I don't speak much German so I will translate this to you from babelfish.
You were there when Alex crashed?! Oh my! I was SO upset that day. He is a great person and a great driver. Then the day he came back to finish those 13 laps, I was nearly in tears. The guy is a hero to me.
You saw both times? That is a good and bad thing because you got to see the horror and the triumph two years later.
Hallo, I don' t sprechen viel Deutsches, also übersetze ich dieses zu Ihnen vom babelfish. Sie waren dort, als Alex? zusammenstieß! Oh mein! Ich war ALSO Umkippen, das Tag. Er ist eine große Person und ein großer Fahrer. Dann war der Tag, den er zurückkam, jene 13 Schöße zu beenden, ich, zerreißt fast innen. Der Kerl ist ein Held zu mir. Sie sahen beide Male?
Die ist eine gute und schlechte Sache, weil Sie erhielten, die Grausigkeit und den Triumph zu sehen zwei Jahre später. Dank für das Lassen dieser Anmerkung. Bester Respekt.
Hey, I worked with a lady named Maggio. Italian for 'May' :) Thanks for the comments. First of all. "You Lucky son of a.."! 1st, you get to work for BMW, 2nd,you live in my Mother land of Germany, 3rd you met AZ in person? 1st song is 'Breakdown' by Tantric. The second one is 'Overcome' by LIVE. It was huge after 911. Breakdown was used in the movie 'Driven' which was about the CART series back in 1999 when Juan Montoya was rocking the house there and AZ had just left and was back in F1.
I know the movie with S.Stallone and Till Schweiger! Its great!
And yes, I met AZ and Roberto Ravaglia and some of the the other BMW Teammembers, like Charlie Lamm and Herbert Schnitzer and after the race in the BMW media centre.
That's very cool. Alex is just a fantastic guy and very humble even to this day. He was so fun to watch. I just watched his 1998 Long Beach win again. Out of nowhere he came. Classic! :)
Cool! Do you speak fluent German? Yeah... I remember that day very well. It was 1996 and the last race of the year. His Team mate Jimmy Vasser won the championship and Alex was rookie of the year. Lots of people whined like babies that he passed the way he did but I thought it was great!
Good video zaction. Zanardi, which I met once, was a real waisted talent. He is a great guy and a fabulous driver, but pales in comparison to this little guy's courage, happy that he survived the Germany accident!!
Well, I found my way in the pits at the Canadian GP in 93, and he was there, freshly changed after the race, and he simply signed autographs. I asked him to pose for me, helmet in hand and he did!!!!I have the picture, it's great. Alex was and still is very small guy!!!!!!
Dude! You gotta email me at my personal addy so I can see that photo! I have some memorabilia signed by him. His book and some die cast cars from 1997,98.
Isn't it?! Friggin' unreal! The guy NEVER gives up. He showed people what Champion realy means. He was not so great in F1 but had brilliant years in CART.
Ok. Now your colors shine through. To launch attacks against Alex Zanardi is simply sad. Do you have any idea what a 'real' champion is? I have news for you pal.. it aint Jeff Gordon. It's Alex Zanardi. Now take your anger issues elsewhere.
Thanks. I hope to have some more eventually but have been super busy. Check out more Alex stuff though. A true inspiration.. I looked at your profile and notice you had an accident working in the trucking industry? If so, I am very sorry and wish you all the best. Is this is why you sought out Zanardi's story?
Yes that is correct. I got ran over by a co worker and had to have both legs amputated similar looking to Alex's amputations. It took me 6 months just to heal this is why I am so amazed by Alex. These videos give me the strength I need to continue to strive to be as close to as what I was once with legs. AND thank-you again for your thoughts.
Bless you! I am so sorry. That must have been so aweful. I can't even imagine the guilt your co-worker must deal with every day aslo.You are very courageous and I know you will have the same strength that Alex has because I can sense it in your messages :)
Alex races in Europe now in the WTCC with a car that uses hand controls. The guy has already won a race and come close on other occasions with no legs! Amazing!
Me too. Pretty cool. I like the ones that look really bad but the guy is ok and walks away from. Pretty sweet. If you want to crash cars in a game, get Colin McRae Rally. Those rally cars crash like no ones business.
Hey...I dont have any Indycar games except the IRL one and its not very good. I do have some Formaul One games though which are a few years old. Thanks for adding my vid to your favorites. I am looking at some of your faves now and they are pretty good.
Hello and Thanks! It's a very sort of simple thing I put together but I don't have the fancy PC stuff to do much better. I am a huge AZ fan though and wanted to honor him. Are you a fan?
Then you must be a huge Senna fan? Bruno Junquira, Fittipaldi, Cristiano Dematta, Felipe Massa, Rubens Barachello, etc? Your English is fine. How is Brazil this tim eof year? I hope to visit Rio some day.
Zanardi inspires all people with disabilities. I have great respect for him.

Maggio666 4 years ago
There was a meeting with the german TÜV (takes care of the security of public cars).
It was shown the system AZ use for breaking and throttle the car.
The question was: how could other people with such a handicap like AZ profit of the technology, which was create esspecially for AZ.
And "Maggio" is just a nickname.... ;-)

That's very cool. Alex is just a fantastic guy and very humble even to this day. He was so fun to watch. I just watched his 1998 Long Beach win again. Out of nowhere he came. Classic! :)

zaction 4 years ago
Yes, I´m living in Nuernberg.
and yes the finish of this race was really a typical AZ win. But my favourite AZ situation is the pass in Laguna Seca!
Alex Zanardi passes Bryan Herta on the last lap of the race, during the last race of the season, to win both in the Laguna Seca corkscrew! AMAZING!
