Defying the odds, he was back for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza just six weeks later, overcoming physical and mental challenges to finish an astonishing fourth place, and then a third place at Walkins Glen. In the soaking wet finale at Fuji he pulled into the pits and parked, and made no attempt to disguise the fact that he simply didn't want to carry on in the atrocious conditions.
