Episode Details

Alex Zanardi, a legendary racer turned Paralympic star, has passed away at 59. After a successful Formula One career, he excelled in IndyCars, winning championships in 1997 and 1998. A devastating crash in 2001 left him without legs, but he refused to give up. Zanardi tinkered with prosthetics, tested an F1 car one-handed, and returned to racing. He married his strength to brains, building handbikes and racing touring cars for BMW, winning four world titles. His Paralympic career was equally impressive, breaking records and inspiring many with his resilience. A tragic bike crash in 2020 sidelined him, but his spirit continues to inspire racers and everyday fighters.
