Paralympic champion and former racing driver Alex Zanardi has left hospital following injuries sustained in a handbike accident 18 months ago.
Former F1 driver and Champ Car champion Zanardi suffered a severe head injury in a collision with a truck during the Obiettivo Tricolore handbike race in July 2020. Since then he has undergone multiple operations and received care at a specialist facility in Padua, Italy.
On Monday, his wife confirmed he has been released from hospital.
"An important step was that Alex was able to leave hospital a few weeks ago and is back at home with us now," she said in a statement.
