the scene there reminded me of paul ricard 86, when i managed to get into the paddock right after nigel crossed the line. in oschersleben i was able to go there way before the race and i had the opportunity of beeing in the pits, listen to what what happened there, had some talk with drivers....all those stuff. it was exciting. real exciting for a 47year-old racing boy.
i spent the whole race in the zanardi-box and nobody pointed at me and forced me to leave. they had something else to do. and he won! i danced with some italians after he crossed the line.......this was a very special moment. very special. so here three pics from prior to the race. as mr. will smith uses to say. HE is a legend.

I'd put my wife right there, though, massive stroke with 45% brain damage and climbing mountains again....

I agree 100%.And then to go drive racecars again competitivly.Remember that incredible TV appearance, where he walked onto the stage just a very short time after losing both legs?

Have to agree with you Ray. I read his biography a couple of months ago, truly inspirational stuff.Remember that incredible TV appearance, where he walked onto the stage just a very short time after losing both legs?

I have been a huge fan since I watched his amazing pass on the corkscrew at Laguna.

Much along the Villeneuve vein, that pass was a prime example of sheer will overcoming EVERYTHING.
We see now that it translated into everything else he is.
