If a full recovery isn't possible, I would love to see him race again (like Alex Zanardi for example, both truly inspirational)

You can either give up or fight and he looks like he is a hell of a fighter. I hope he does get in a race car again!

Interesting to hear Max Chilton refuses to drive ovals, but given the greater degree of risk, who can blame him. Surprised he has a race seat with that kind of restriction on his side being allowed.

IMO he wouldn't have one if they could find someone competent enough to take his place.
