Alex Brooker, presenter of Channel 4’s The Last Leg, paid tribute to the incredible Alex Zanardi after the Italian won his fifth Paralympic silver medal, 15 years to the day since his horrific CART crash.

It’s more than worth three minutes of anyone’s time. 

You can read Damien Smith’s interview with Zanardi in the current issue of Motor Sport, available in UK stores now, in the Motor Sport shop and in the Motor Sport app.
