Interesting article. Seems he is improving and hopefully it continues. It was clearly a horrific impact.
Thanks @caneparo for sharing the article. Very insightful,

I was a big fan of the guy from his days in Indy car, both for his personality and his rather dramatic racing. Everything since then just shows what an amazing irrepressible person he is. There are some racing "heroes" that are real heroes.

Most admired for the person he is (even though his F1 career was a bit of a dud). A great example of someone who never gives up.

It is great news about Alex Zanardi, what that poor guy has had to go through in his life is insane. Talk about nine lives!
I hope he continues to improve in the coming weeks and months It just shows what a fighting spirit can do for you.
