An inspirational man. Good luck to him!

Out of all the race drivers that are still alive, Zanardi is my all time hero. He represents so much for so many people and has been an inspiration. I wish him all the best in his new challenge.

Sort of puts lifes little problems into perspective...

My son was born soon after the Radio 4 interview with Alex Zanardi and I was so impressed with his bravery, love of life and determination that we named our son after him.

I can only echo what you guys have said. A legend and a true inspiration. Would be great to see him succeed.

What a great spirit that man has. Still remember the pass at Laguna Seca in '96, very brave man!

I kind of hope he's called "Zanardi" and not "Alex" but I assume its the latter?

[Project 644]

Or even Alessandro.

And a humbling one.

Great man, wish you all the best!

How does one apply to get tickets for the Paralympics? This takes my interest in London 2012 to +1.

He's called Alexander Zachary which is the kinda closest to Zanardi we could get with 'normal' names

Which under FIA rules would have been rewarded with a 25 second penalty
