Alex Zanardi moved to specialist centre after handbike accident

Former Formula 1 driver Alex Zanardi has been transferred to a specialist recovery centre a month after suffering serious head injuries in a handbike accident.



Zanardi, former Jordan and Williams F1 driver, turned four-time Paralympic gold medallist, was placed in a medically induced coma and has had three operations at Siena's Santa Maria alle Scotte hospital since the accident during a road race near the Italian city on 19th June 2020.

In a statement, the hospital said Zanardi's sedation had been suspended, allowing him to be transferred.

"The stability of the general clinical conditions and the neurological picture allowed the transfer to a specialised centre for recovery and functional rehabilitation," it said.

Thoughts and Prayers to Alex's family and friends at this moment of time.
