”I took 42G. For people who want to see that crash, it’s not that impressive, but I hit a concrete wall. That was in Miami, in FP3, in 2022. I went off, I hit the wall. I hit both my knees and could barely walk afterwards. I remember, the next morning I was in the shower and I collapsed. I lost my balance and fell, I was not well at all. I managed, starting from last, to finish eighth in that race. I was peeing red, that was not great!”
‘Off the track, the entertainment will be just as electrifying, headlined by a concert from the globally acclaimed British singer, Seal, on Friday, followed by, on Sunday, a powerful performance by one of the world’s biggest rock bands — Metallica.’
‘If you’ve ever seen Fernando Alonso pull off a daring overtake or a mind-boggling strategy on track, it might not be a surprise to many to learn that he’s got a bit of a magician’s touch… literally. The two-time world champion has long enjoyed performing card tricks and sleight-of-hand illusions, where he’s often kept teammates and crew entertained in the paddock.’
”To have Williams behind is a help on all fronts. The biggest one is to have a physio who is on track with you, preparing the season with you physically. And you have a mental coach.So everything when you go into the season, you feel really ready. And then in the F1 weekends, I can see Sven Smeets (sporting director) and some guys from Williams to discuss about everything.”
‘I feel very lucky to be with Invicta. It’s a great experience for me, I see the guys they work very hard, they know what they are doing, but at the same time, they enjoy it. They don’t do it for the money, they do it because they actually like it, and I think this is one of the reasons why the team is so strong.’
‘This is the story of how I became a double amputee but also how I’ve gone on to live my life to the fullest extent and not let the events of that day hold me back.’
