Gaspode Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Last May, 17 year-old Billy Monger had both legs amputated after crashing at Donington. Today he took part in qualifying for his first F3 race - he is 5th on the grid. Simply astonishing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 What a surname that is, must have got some right pelters through school. Incredible achievement though as you say, takes some mental strength at that age to not just overcome the loss of legs but to go out and compete again. This is the kind of sportsman/woman that should be winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, but it will be given to someone else for winning a trophy or two that's been across the back pages.
