He has a role model to follow, IE one Alex Zanardi possibly the most determined driver ever, having lost both legs in a crash, goes on to test drive F1 cars, win races in Touring cars, getting placed in Iron Man competitions and an olympic gold medalist in Hand Cycling.
Billy would do well to Avoid Alex's bad luck tho

The accident happened on State Highway 146 between Pienza and San Quirico. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Zanardi was descending down a hill when he lost control of his handbike and veered into an oncoming truck, leading to severe facial and cranial trauma. Emergency services attended the scene after his fellow competitors helped to raise the alarm, and Zanardi was airlifted to the Santa Maria alle Scotte Hospital in Siena. He was treated in intensive care for serious head injuries.
