Very sad to hear of Alex Zanardi's passing. He had a hell of a life - from driving in Formula 1, to losing both legs in a crash in a different racing series, coming back to win both gold and silver at hand cycling in the Paralympics, and then hit by a truck while competing in 2020. Incredible dude.

Alex Zanardi is perhaps the most inspirational sportsperson ever. Total commitment to simply never giving up. Successful motor racing career cut short by a horrific life-changing accident and then an even more successful career in handcycling with multiple Paralympic Gold medals. A tragic end

Very sad about this. An extraordinary person, one of the most resilient humans you'll find. Never gave up, always pushed boundaries. Vale Alex Zanardi.
