Amputee Zanardi Test Drives F-1 Car

VALENCIA, Spain (AP) -Alex Zanardi nestled himself into the car, fiddled with the buckles on his helmet until they were just right, then accelerated past a crowd of onlookers and onto the track.

After driving four laps in a modified BMW-Sauber C24-B, the Italian pulled into pit lane just like any other Formula One driver.

But Zanardi is no regular professional race car driver: He has no legs.
