The way he talks and presents himself is reflective of a person who is much more mature. Well done, Billy. You're awesome! And best of luck for everything.
@@dubb9020 There's always something else to do. Look at Alex Zanardi. Sitting in a cockpit that first time must have been terrifying initially, even if he didn't tell anyone. For such a young man, he's got a massive pair of brass ones!
But let's say he has the speed to join F1 will, the FIA allow that? Will they allow someone driving with a modified throttle/brake system? Will they consider it an advantage? Do they allow such modification to the car? Anyhow, I wish you best of luck! Amazing recovery and a great inspiration.
I don't see any issue with the regulations, the brake system needs to be pedal actuated on to two separate hydraulic systems, one for front one for rear(enabled if the electric brake system fails). I assume they could modify the pedal to use whatever input he needs(pressure wise).
Even though I hope he gets as far as he can in the racing world, I have to say this: with the current F1 cars it would be downright impossible for him to drive (successfully). The Turbo Hybrids have so many options and buttons on the steering wheel that he couldn't simultaneously change or alter quick enough while driving the car with his hands. Another thing I want to reflect upon is braking pressure. The drivers sometimes need to deliver 149 kilograms of pressure to the braking pedal. Having an augmented machine do it for you by leveling a leaver on your steering wheel can in fact be a physical cheat over this.
Dennis4Videos might require a different set of prosthetic legs that can work with foot pedals, something i have seen in TED talk, there was a guy developed bionic prosthetic legs that make your movements so natural
I love you experts that have never driven a vehicle with hand controls...i drive using hand controls and I apply brake pressure using my palm on an actual mechanical non electronic device...he will adapt and he will overcome the problem the same as any other disabled driver has.
The ElectricHobo I genuinely think his throttle input with his hand could be so much more precise and he brakes with his “below knee amputation” so no problem there either 👍🏻👌🏻🏴
Absolutely awesome guy , and much respect to him. I just hope and pray that he has the best support mentally for him to keep up the positiv3 attitude that he has. He is mature beyond his years👍
Are the controls Drive By Wire or are there cables? I raced with the same steering wheel set-up as you, almost, but I switched the brake pedal to my right side, as I still have my right leg. It really came very naturally to me. Had you known of me I could have set you up straight away. However, I live in So. California...a bit of a drive. I raced mostly 125 shifters after my accident, long and sprint. I really liked the speed of the big 2+ mile tracks. Here, that class would bring out 50+ karts every race.
People have a problem. We want to treat handicapped people the same way we treat "normal" people. On the other hand, we feel an extremely strong urge to mother them. One of the main mothering characteristics includes thinking of a handicapped person who is living a relatively normal life, as being "heroic." You can't have it both ways. If you want to avoid prejudice, you have to set aside thinking that they are different. But you really can't avoid seeing that a person can't walk up stairs, or can't see, or is limited in some other significant way. You just have to adapt to them according to their abilities, and generally avoid talking about it except when needed. Nobody wants conversations to focus on what they can't do. And nobody with a normal sense of dignity wants to be pitied.

The fact he got back on a racing car at all is remarkable.
he has to at this point.... his life was ruined and legs were taken from him. its either he keeps racing or does nothing.

Keep going Billy ! You are so strong congratulations ! 💪
Pagani 974 yo dude we got similar profile pics

4AGE_SWAPPED_HGV Forza Ferrari?

Super impressed with Billy Monger. Great attitude, hope he does well.
5:23 He dabbin on them haters.... Sometimes it just takes me aback that this is just a young kid losing his legs trying to make do with life
Amazing
usoap141 i was at that event and i cringed so hard that he dabbed but i don’t care because he’s just awesome
Lost his legs and continued to race. Absolutely insane, all the best to you Billy, keep on racing!
I'm about the same age as Billy and I've never felt so much respect for someone who's this young❤️👏🏼
He is such an inspiration for young generation and old generation as well. Never give up and always find a way.
Fantastic interview and a fantastic kid. You’re an inspiration Billy, and you’re mature beyond your years!
Good luck Billy!!! 💪
Fair play to the young man, plenty would have just given up, show how passionate he his about his sport .
What a amazing guy a great example of positive thinking a inspiration for us all .
A true hero !
We want him to succeed. Prove the challenge is the making of the boy to a man.
Astonishing young man, you make a superb role model for the youth of today, and an inspiration to all.. good luck for the future.
Seems to be adapting so well, keep at it Billy!
Nice interview. And the audio wasn't half bad, for once.
Total respect to this lovely young man! True Bulldog Spirit!
Probably the best racing comeback
very inspiring. I want to see him in f1. He's got what it takes to be world champ.

This is so cool. I remember thinking he'd never race in single seaters again. Badass.
Absolute inspiration, what a lad 👏🏼
Absolutely awesome guy , and much respect to him. I just hope and pray that he has the best support mentally for him to keep up the positiv3 attitude that he has. He is mature beyond his years👍
An inspiration. What a guy.
Unbelievable. Very inspiring. Keep it going, no limit. 👌👍🏽
Fantastic lad. Hopefully with practice he can be right up there again.
Billy, lad, proud of you. ❤️
What a ffffing kid. The amount of cojones and drive. As they say in F1, Push Push Push. Keep pushing kid.
Billy monger on his way to iron monger
I really hope this kid makes it to F1 he deserves it and would be far better than some of the current pay drivers in F1.
Good Luck.. I am a big fans of Billy...
beast, if Billy can't do it it can't be done.
this kid is so mature
Inspirational dude
An Inspiration!
Would love to see him in F1

What a warrior!
I would think accaleration on the right and brake on the left
Should have seen him flying at Goodwood on the hill climb.
Well done lad!!!!
Well done kid!
Keep going 🙏🏾
nice guy
For him to win races he has to work harder than anyone
Great man ❤️
I believe he will make it to F1
How he even got into a race car after that is beyond me.
When you've been told twice but still won't listen
"I can still use me nose"
He’s so small and cute
Supported by Lewis Hamilton and unnamed others. TK

Hand control 👀
Какой красавчик
I drive with hand controls always wondered how that works because there is no way he could use gear paddles nowhere near enough travel in it
And the story of this video got 11 dislikes???? Come on..
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Amazing kid...but depressing to me that he still has better skills/ talent than I do with good 2 legs... uggh
id be pissed at the car manufacturer ... arent those cars ment to be safe for the legs?
Poi c'è gente che si lamenta per cose inutili...
Did his accident robe him of the ability to say "th"
Wow... A rich kid overcame adversity. That is amazing!
Nordi Mejia get out.
Nordi Mejia jealous lmao
@Nordi Mejia You are a right fanny
