Bottom post of the previous page:

Now is that 'legs not moving pedals because they are still setting', or 'legs not moving because they won't'?

Flip a coin at this stage, really...

I don't know the first thing about these injuries, but I'm sort of guessing that if the spinal cord was so badly damaged that there would be zero chance of walking again, or even run (or ride a car), there wouldn't be too much use in doing this.

So I'm guessing that there is a chance that he'll make a good/full recovery, or at least to a stage where can live a fairly normal life.

But I'm just guessing blindly here.

...Max Chilton finished last in the point tables (of all the full time drivers). I don’t think he had a single top 10 finish either.
Perhaps - but he has a reputation to bring the car home in one piece. He is known in the paddock as 'The Conservator'

As in him being so slow that the cars are mummified by the time he returns them to the pit area?

Marco Andretti has a reputation in the paddock as being extremely well endowed.
Bourdais is nicknamed The French Cross-dresser in the paddock.
It's a well known fact in the paddock that Pagenaud hides half-eaten frog legs and snails in other teams' cars.
Dixon is called "Rocco" after arranging a movie night for the entire paddock in Detroit.

Bwoah, that was easy.

@Antonov is well know in the paddock as ‘The Fantacist’ because of his love for Detroit, Chilton and no one truly knows if he’s serious.

Yes, Palmer played it fair - he knew he'd blitz the championship and decided to take up a position in the commentary booth instead of potentially destroying a good racing series by winning nigh-on every race.

Fair play, Jolyon.
