And look, we move on to Billy Monger.

Billy, it's got an extraordinary story.

I'm Mark Pugatch with Marcus Buckland.

Uh, a different sort of episode today because we are gonna speak to an astonishingly inspirational young man, Billy Monger, who, in April 2017, had a terrible crash while driving in Formula 4, and had both his legs amputated, one above the knee, one below the knee, Marcus, ending his dreams of being a Formula 1 driver, but he was driving in Formula 3 again within a year.

Mm.

Now he's in the media.

It did, and, and for a young man to suffer what he did and, and to respond so positively, I think, is an inspiration.

So, like you, I, I can't wait to chat to him.

Billy Monger's book is called Find Your Drive.

This accident happened when he was a teenager.
