Because he was one of the best drivers on the planet douche. And because when that was taken away from him he didn't miss a beat and continues to lead a more productive life than most people with two legs. May your mother die of cervical cancer shit bag.
Alez zabardi me hacia ke me pegara al televisor tenia la facultad de hacer que vivieras con el la adrenalina de las competencias y que tu fueras el ganador, te hacia sentir cmo si los premios fueran falicles de alcanzar, corria como nadie nunca lo hizo antes, el motor v6 , nunca volvera a correr igual es un INALCANZABLE ALEX
It hurts so much to see him like that. He and Adrian Fernandez were my two most favorite drivers on the CART circuit. I met him once at one of the Long Beach Grand Prix events.
That had to be a tough thing for Alex to overcome. Having seen the accident on TV a number of times, I had to tell myself how lucky he was that Tagliani's car didn't hit him any further up than it did.
we should call him , koos alberts , thats a dutch singer that in a car crash lost the ability to walk but yet again he still sings and still drives cars adjusted cars
HE IS AN AMAZING PERSON. Keep strong ZANARDI!!!!! God Bless you!! You are a warrior and a tiger!! Don't ever give up, you are an example to a lot of us!! Thanks!!
No, I think he uses hand controls. But man if that is true, awesome! And he is making the most of a bad situation. Prosthetic swimming legs, and how he was climbing down the stairs. What a great dude!
Alex is an amazing person. Before his horrific accident he was already a big star, a great driver, and now he shows the way to many people : when you keep confident, you get it !
Alex...sono da 2 mesi al letto con una gamba rotta......i momenti di sconforto si alternano....e dei giorni vedo nero...tuttavia,reagisco e sono ottimista...
anche grazie a te, al modo con cui vinci ogni guerra dichiarata dalla quotidianità.
ben detto. Continua così. Ognuno di noi deve vivere coi proprio fantasmi, coi proprio dolori e spesso non si può far nulla per scacciarli via. L'unica consolazione è la forza di volontà che ci permette di andare avanti...certo, a volte vengono i momenti di sconforto,è normale, ma bisogna farli durare al minimo e guardare avanti e pensare : cè sempre chi sta peggio di me ^^
yes he still races in BMW touring cars i think. he has special racing legs, BMWsauber let him have a spin a few years ago. that must take a lot of will power. what a guy
he lost them at a IndyCar (CART) race in germany in 2001 -Lausitzring- his car was hit by another at about 300km/h and his car was to tear up in two pieces..
thats why zanardi is a greater driver than montoya and i'd venture to say shumacher... definately better than villianouve and sabastian bourdai and christiano matta
schumi had a heart for racing, but he doesn't have heart for life. i highly doubt schumi could be as courageous as zanardi if given the same situation
i know that i would fight my ass off just like zanardi to stay alive and strive to make as normal a life as possible under those circumstances. i know what i'm capable of so dont even presume to think you can decide if what i am saying is b.s.
secondo me no anzi e' una prova su come una persona conviva serenamente dp un grave incidente subendo una terribile mutilazione secondo esempio per altre persone sfortunate a guardare avanti...
Volevo scrivere qualcosa di grande, ma mi accorgo ora che non ci sono quasi parole per commentare tutto questo. Forse tutto ciò che si può scrivere, per quanto penetrante e significativo, risulterebbe sempre piccolo di fronte ad Alex. Pochi uomini e poche cose sono sono all'altezza di un personaggio così.
Non ho mai visto in un essere umano tanta perseveranza, tanta forza d'animo e coraggio! Nonostante l'incidente che gli ha causato l'amputazione, ha continuato ad andare avanti e tuttora continua a correre! Forza Zanardi meriti tutto il rispetto che si possa mai attribuire ad un uomo!
secondo me nn esiste al mondo esempio migliore di forza coraggio e voglia di vivere nn si è mai vergognato del suo handicap e tornato a correre e vive la vita da grande uomo
All my respect for this guy. A young man with full of energy and a passion for motorsports, a great CART champion and that horrific crash happens...and after all those horrible things he had to went through, he didn't give up!! WOW, I think, there are millions of people who should learn willpower from Alex Zanardi.
Because he was one of the best drivers on the planet douche. And because when that was taken away from him he didn't miss a beat and continues to lead a more productive life than most people with two legs. May your mother die of cervical cancer shit bag.
