F1 | Hamilton's thoughts on Zanardi: “He's a fighter and he will continue to fight”

On the sidelines of Thursday's press conference, Lewis Hamilton he showed up in the interview ring, adapted to the new anti-Covid-19 protocols. To the microphones of Mara Sangiorgio on Sky Sports, the British champion of Mercedes wanted to address a thought towards Alex Zanardi, victim of a serious handbike accident two weeks ago in the streets of Siena.

“I have always been an admirer of Alex – Hamilton admitted. He has supported me a lot throughout my career: he is a true hero, in our sport and beyond. What he had to face and how he came out of it shows how he is a leader in many ways. It made me very sad to hear about his accident: then thinking about how he had to face so many other things throughout his life. But if I know Alex a little, I know that he is a fighter at heart and will continue to fight. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family."
