There are people you love, and then there are the select few you LOVE. If you knew Alex Zanardi, you loved that man with a passion, an instant friend, filled with charm and child-like wonderment for life.
And raging, unanswerable speed; the puzzle his IndyCar rivals could rarely solve. And the wit and mischief. It was nigh-on impossible to spend time with 'The Pineapple' without laughing--often at your own expense.
All that life would eventually take from him, and yet he remained a gift. The ultimate overcomer and motivator. To summon a smile and fight through the physical pain and mental anguish to go outside and live--truly live--is to honor him.
LOVED Alex Zanardi, like the millions whose lives were bettered by his humanity and excellence.
The FIA is saddened to learn of the passing of Alex Zanardi, the former Formula 1 driver, two-time CART champion whose journey from life-changing accident to Paralympics gold medallist made him one of sport’s most admired competitors and an enduring symbol of courage and determination.
Could anyone identify this @BHAFC travelling on a Brighton to Worthing train this evening? He repeatedly racially abused a 29 year old woman, calling her a Somali pirate and ugly bitch? She was left very distressed and shaken up. Cheers. @sussex_police.👇
