A real inspiration this fellow, look at how much this means to him!










Zanardi found a way to keep on racing and winning. And in a twist of fate.....

"I feel very lucky, I feel my life is a never-ending privilege. Where today you have the Olympic Stadium, on that piece of land they used to have an IndyCar circuit, which is where I won my very first pole position - for a romantic guy like me this is quite special."

Even my accident, what happened to me, became the biggest opportunity of my life. All the things I am doing today are related to my new condition. When you find yourself in a certain situation you have to identify where you want to go and focus on what you can achieve on that given day. Whether it is a small thing or big one, step-by-step you can make things happen.

Other than his achievements, it's Zanardi's attitude I admire most. Every problem is an opportunity awaiting a solution.
And in a world full of problems, we need more Zanardi's!

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what Zanardi puts his mind to next. I wouldnt put it past him to be in a position of major power in a decade or so.The guy is a proper inspiration.

Lord knows Italy could do with his inspiration, possible even the EU.
