Author Bio
Zanardi, a plumber's son, always had to fight to compete, from welding an early kart using a blowtorch and fence wire, to the post-crash rehab, which he viewed as a race. Gasparini is a journalist on Gazzetta dello Sport, Italy's daily sports newspaper. They tell this story with warmth, wit and candour.
