No one searched for it but we’re all glad we watched it

Would love to see Billy in F1 eventually. Not only would it be historical, its very evident he is nothing even close to a pay driver and prooves his success is nothing but determination and persiverance.

This kid is unbelievable. What an amazing attitude he has. A true champion.

I think his responses after the crash was from all the years of proper emotional responses his family has taught him to have to handle himself after each loss from the races he's been in. His parents taught him well and basically prepared him for this day or any time something bad happens on how to best handle the situations that come his way.

Incredible story. Hard not to get choked up when his dad and sis are cheering him on at Oulton Park.

The fact that Lewis went out of his way to go to that FIA event and taking pictures is just great. So wholesome.

During his first race back, just goosebumps all over. I ugly cried a ton. Wishing you success, Billy! You are such a wonderful, extraordinary human being

What an absolutely beautiful young man . His parents are superstars for raising such a respectful and beautiful soul ❤️

Who’s chopping onions while I’m trying to watch this?

I havent cried for a long time - But this had me in tears - as a leg amputee and a former driver in the danish rotax Championship, i cant even understand how mentally strong you are and how quick you came back. Your will power, will without a doubt get you in formula one. You’re a rolemodel.

I like how he said “my life didn’t end then, although it changed, my life kind of started then.” Things happen that we can’t control. I love this story. I also thought it was cute that his dog was trying to be sympathetic by limping too. I don’t like how some people think just because you’re disabled that means you’re unable to live a fulfilling life. A girl named Brooke Ellison became a quadriplegic at 11 years old. She successfully graduated high school and went on to Harvard and graduated with amazing grades. I’m so glad he was able to race again.

As an amputee of 10 years (left leg above the knee) at the age of 64, I find this young man to be an inspiration to anyone in this position. I was very positive in my attitude and was walking again within 6 months due to two wonderful young ladies. But unfortunately I was then under a person who took no notice of things that caused me problems. I persevered for almost 5 years. After a number of bad falls due to poor fitting, that caused me to not be able to support myself standing. I packed up the leg and told them where to stick it. I have been confined to a chair and gopher since then. I am still positive have settled into a comfortable life. I live independently in a seniors village in my own unit. I have a routine where I get out every day on my gopher and travel 25 to 30 Km. I am very independent and enjoy my life. Cheers Mike from Adelaide S.A.

He didn’t see it as a change to his life, he saw it as something in his life he needed to fix...mans a legend

The people who disliked this video are the people in Billy's mirrors.

If Douglas Bader can become a WW2 air ace with no legs, flying Spifires and Hurricanes, I reckon this lad is more than capable of achieving his dreams.... go Billy. Good luck young fella.

Billy, I had bad accident nov1st 21,my son passed in my arms. Multiple surgeries to try save my rt lower leg failed. You give me hope and inspiration. Thank you and bless you sincerely. Larry Conn

I loved it when he met Niki Lauda. Possibly the only person in the paddock who actually understands what he's going through.

This kid is a warrior. Most of us would've given up on life (i know i probably would've) but not billy. This young mans just gained a new fan in me. Wish him all the very best.

What a nice young man. Such a great kid. His parents must be very proud and raised such a wonderful kid. 🏆

Such guts, character and determination to have such a nasty accident and to be back racing again. Such an inspiration to me. Not all super heroes wear capes.

Billy while in hospital after the crash talking to one of the nurses. “ Oh well, at least i wont ever again have to worry bout smelly feet”. 😂

What a champ ❤️

Man, this is one of the best thing I've watched in years. Made me cry so much man. You're such an inspiration

And still with a smile on his face, you're an inspiration my man, you've brought tears to my eyes. I need to be more appreciative, my whole outlook has changed. I cannot thank you enough, thank you...

Billy don't give up I'm amputated lost my left leg back in Feb I'm still fighting to get back to where I was I will never give up

The 13 people who done thumbs down obviously ain't got hearts.. How could you not love this lad

What an unbelievable story! I wish this young talent the power he needs to come back into the great sport... you have a lot of fans! Don‘t forget this! Many greetings from Germany!

Billy’s like I crashed lost my legs let’s get back to racing. What an amazing attitude and spirit. Go on you billy. Your attitude will make you do amazing things. Found this video on a fluke glad I watched.

This isn't a feelgood story, this is an epos of dedication, the true embodiment of a sportsman, but also a story about a down to earth kid and his loving family. And I'm not crying, you are!

Billy, at the height of F125 shifter karting 1990-1999, here in America I contested all of the Southern California series having only one leg. I lost my left leg in a helicopter crash. I was working as a Hollywood Stuntman at the time. Of all the formulas I drove, F-Contential, F-Atlantic, it was driving shifters I found to be more brutal and technical to drive smooth and fast. As an amateur driver, I won 11 out of 12 races. as a Pro 3 out of 7. my first full year. After that, I moved to the longer tracks which Myself and my Teammate Gene Sigal dominated. As an amputee, the biggest issue I had was keeping my butt planted in the back of the seat under hard braking. I still had my right leg so I welded the master cylinder onto the right frame rail. As for a throttle Dave Miller at DMC Racing Anaheim, CA fabricated a paddle that covered the backside of my wheel from 9 to 6as if the wheel was a clock. It worked magnificently. Dave does master quality work. Billy, If you want to drive, seriously, that will to do so, can only come from a burning desire within you. As an amateur driver, I used a fold-up trailer and a Honda Accord to pull my kart to each race. 99% of the time I went all by myself. I had nobody to help me unload, set up the Easy-Up or to help me tune. I wanted to compete so bad I was there to learn. My motivation was my driving force. Billy, without the inner fire to succeed and win...to believe in yourself you will become frustrated and quit driving. But think about what you can accomplish with that energy put to good use. If you want to talk I can relate to what you are going through better than most. I am also a motor builder and have built 13 land speed records GP Bikes and contested Moto GP as a builder for John Hopkins. If you need someone to help you make sense out of all you/we are going through and uplift the minds of other handicap individuals who want to race competitively here's my number, Steve Solo 949-391-0229 We can also start a school for handicapped individuals who want to learn how to drive competitively....to pay for our racing. You are lucky to have survived your crash, as was I. Perhaps we were both put on this earth to raise awareness showing amputees can compete and win against able-body people. Call me and let's change the world.!

What an unbelievable young man, nothing but respect.

I don’t know how to begin to explain the amount of respect I have for Billy. An incredible incredible guy!

This lad is going to be an absolute machine when he is fully used to it all. His determination and winning mentality is unreal.

Niki Lauda didn't often take time to talk to people, that says a lot about this young man. You're an inspiration, all the best and I would love to see you in F1

Stories and personalities like his, make you appreciate every single thing that we have as something sure. Amazing video!!

This popped up on my feed and I am so glad I watched it (big racing fan here). What an absolutely incredible story of an even more incredible young man.

Lewis Hamilton has found himself a new fan what a caring dude and what a story young man has an awesome outlook on life

I dont get It! No yellow flag, no radio telling the drivers about a stationary car at the cirquit?? Billy is a winner! And I Wish him all the well!!

3rd time watching this and it still makes me cry, such an inspiration

Here’s a grown man trying not to cry this is incredible Billy’s a HERO 🙌

Life gave you a MASSIVE lemon and you made a bucket of lemonade. God bless you.

With all the hype in F1 about being ‘inclusive’ and ‘we race as one’ this should be a no brainer. Billy needs to RACE! PLEASE SHARE THIS.

what an amazing story, the maturity of Billy's outlook, Mr & Mrs Monger, you have done yourself very proud with your son!!! what an inspiration to everyone. Well done Billy, keep up the great work.

Such a beautiful young lad even after the accident his personality shines , your an amazing inspiration lad 💕

This kid has a good heart and is wise far beyond his years. When my father was stricken with cancer I eventually became his arms and legs, but he remained, as always, my strength. He will always be my hero.

A kid on the outside, *the* warrior on the inside. Heartfelt respect and best wishes from Germany. You'd give me a reason to watch F1 again.

Your such an inspiration, never give up keep going you’ve got this and God bless you and your family.

What an inspiration this young guy is and he’s back👏👏⭐️

My respect skyrocketed for Lewis when he started taking photos of him at the ceremonies, when he first got back in a car, when he first got the letter at the hospital. They are amazing guys, both Lewis and Billy

I saw the crash at Donington Park and followed every single part of the story through social media and up until the first race back and I have to say what an inspiration you are to millions of people! Keep that spirit alive and I hope that one day we will see you on the F1 grid ❤️ #BillyWizz

What an admirable young man! His mindset is excellent! Just shows it’s how you view your situation. It can make you or break you!

For someone of Billys age hes very mature and determined to get bacl ro racing doing what hes loved all his life fair play to him hope he achieves many things going forward

The parents and sister are legends. Like, how lucky could this kid get to have family like this? It’s crazy. I’m not even related to him or know him and I’m proud of him and his family. Like holy crap. Family’s like this only come once very blue moon. This is true family.

I know I'm gonna see Billy race in F1 soon... God bless you Billy!

Way to go Billy ! Your straight up the strongest man Ive ever seen. You changed history buddy !

Happy to have had this show up in my feed. What a courageous young man. My mama heart went out to his mama. I could see her relief and just simply the huge pride she felt. I pray Billy and his family are greatly blessed every day forward.

Who is disliking this, what is there to dislike.

I’ve seen Billy on the F1 shows and never knew his story. I’m glad I watched this documentary. He’s an incredible young man and showed such strength. Honestly cannot believe how he took everything in his stride. Great support from his family, motorsport and it’s supporters. To the 15 people who gave this video a thumbs down, you should be ashamed of yourselves

He is such an awesome young man. So brave so strong. He is so wise when it comes to some of the things he says as far as after the crash. I'm so happy that he has had all that support his family his fans and his racing community. I am in awe of how strong he is mentally and physically he is a go-getter for sure

I'm so grateful that you're alive and you do live your passion further on 💖

dude i cannot stress enough the amount of times I was impressed by his tone and like the overall way he was handling things...very good mindset at such a early age with do wonders in the long run

June 24 2019 I met in an accident. A taxi driver did a U-turn and almost end my existence. Even up to this day I don't remember the accident happening at all. I woke up in the hospital feeling a lot of pain and I was trying to figure out if I fell off my bicycle or my motorcycle.when the visiting hours came I later found out what took place while I was heading back home on my motorcycle. I didn't know that three days had past and I can't remember anything that my family members said that I told them,they said that the first day when they came to see me I was saying that I need to pay my rent. I can't believe I could have died and all that was on my mind was to pay my rent which is due on the 25th of each month. I am much better now but my scars are very much visible and I've accepted that I have a few scars but I also have my life still. BILLY MONGER I truly admire your determination,mindset and will power. Your truly inspiring to me and many others. 💪💯👍👌

Wow what a guy. So much respect for the lad! Listening to him on the high performance podcast 🙌🏼🐐✊🏼

Billy your story brought tears to my eyes you are incredible 💗💗💗

what i dont understand is why wasnt any flags waved? there was an immobile car on the track, and not one flag. they failed this boy so badly.

That was such a nice moment seeing niki and monger meeting each over one how lost his legs and one how suffered burns. RIP niki lauda and Get well soon billy glad ur back winning again :)))

What an inspirational young man, well done on having such a positive attitude and a big shout out to your family, you’re all bloody brilliant x

Billy monger.... my lord you are a dead set legend!!! You have touched many people through your story. I love racing but you have it in your spirit. Many more people will have drive to learn through difference by hearing your story. You are an inspiration brother and I sincerely hope to meet you one day

Winning doesn’t show the true metal of a man. Loosing something shows the true strength of a person. This kid is made of steel, what a legend.

In Australia I had never heard of this story so glad it came on my feed to watch. What an amazing story what an incredible human at such a young age. Being a parent but a kid at heart I feel I could relate to both the parents and billy . I’m still on wow good luck with everything in life champ

I have watched this 3 times and it makes me so emotional, love his determination and resolve, his parents are so supportive and a very genuine film , this kid must have gone to hell and back to suffer this terrible loss at such a young age , let’s hope his career keeps moving forward no person deserves it more , big shout out to his Mum and Dad , fantastic parents

I happened to see this video while scrolling KZfaq after I got home from work. I don’t think I have never felt so many emotions at one time. I cried so much at the end. After I watched it I told my husband he needed to watch it. We were both crying. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.

well done billy as someone in a wheelchair with spinabifida and stenosis had a laminoctemey c1 to c5 to help with cramps and muscle spasms and pain as well,i lost my right leg above the knee and cant stand up due to weakness in left leg and no balance,i miss walking soooo much im 54 years old and lost my walking ablility at 48 years old ,and lost my leg 4 years ago due to blood clot and sepsis shock,good luck billy and keep walking lad keep going

Really puts things in perspective for ya doesn’t it. Billy you’re an awesome person with a bright future ahead of you, we’re all rooting for you and wishing you the best of luck.

What an amazing and positive young man! His gift of seeing only the bright side of life is an inspiration to everyone. May God continue to bless him and his family.

The Force is strong in that one.

This is amazing, a complete inspiration... you may not feel like that..everyone has their down days but you have rose above it man... your going to do great things ! Follow your dreams

This is the 4th time I’ve seen this documentary about This inspiring and powerful young man and I always end up on tears of joy and happiness. I’m so glad that you are doing a great progress and being able to overcome, adapt and survive on this human jungle. God bless you Billy ! ❤️

I'm quite old and I don't have the mental capacity of this kid. Watching this just gets me teary, I just got to get my shit right

At 10 years: He was the british champion When i was 10: Mom im hungry feed me...

You’re a warrior, with an indomitable spirit and an infectious personality. He is an inspiring to all who have any disability to have hope and to continue having goals even if they challenge us more than we ever thought we could overcome. God bless you, your family, your racing community, and all who have helped you and have been inspired by you.

Whether he races again or not, it's clear this young man has the guts and personality to ensure he lives an amazing life all the same.

That's enough to make a grown man cry

Wow, I’m at a loss. This video just came up on my feed. I stopped watching most motor sports around 2016, except for Supercross, motocross and mx gp in Europe. I had no idea about you or your accident Billy. It seems that you are a rare breed young man. With the trauma you sustained, never allowing it to depress you or to deter you from your goals is just amazing. I’ve tried to raise my son to keep striving for his goals as well, no matter what obstacles are put in front of him. After watching this video with him, I see the expression on his face, and I feel he finally sees what overcoming adversity looks like. Thank you for this, your drive has touched another young mans life. Even though you probably would never meet, you have turned on something in my son that nothing can extinguish. God bless you for that.

Just watched your story!!! What a story mate!! It was sad at the beginning really made my heart feel for you! Then I cant explain what you made me feel !!!! Joy!!! thats all I want to say to you is JOY!!! Congratulations for all that you have accomplished !!! You are an inspiration to us all!!! Please keep going fast and all you see is a Blur!!!!!! xo

What a great accomplishment and a testimony to focusing on your goal and doing everything you can to reach your goal. Your smile just lights up the screen. Praying for your continued healing and adjustments to your prosthetics.

I’m 57 and this lad is an inspiration to me, so all you youngsters out there should take a good look at billy and be inspired from this incredible young man. God bless ya mate and I’m a huge fan of yours even before the accident, now I feel even more of a fan. I sincerely hope you reach your goals, if anyone can do it, it’s Billy Monger.

you're my hero Billy. i have a condition called Elhers Danlos Syndrom. its a condition that makes my whole body less strong, so muscles, skin en organs are a lot more weak than 'normal' people and that makes racing karts really hard because my energy level is very low(because of the less power in my muscles). But im racing in Rotax Senior class and i love it. i keep fighting every time i get on track to get better and better. I knew that this documantery was online but never wanted to look at it because i thougt i maybe get emotional. But now i watched it and never skipped a second, and yes i got emotional but jesus man, what a man you are. There is so much spirit in you. It motivates me so much to get everyting out of my, not only on the track, but also in life. There are so much lovely things you can do with a handicap but that doesnt make it less fun. I wanted to say you're a huge inspitration to me as a racer but also as a person, and many others with me. cheers Billy and keep drivin!

What a wonderful young man, deserves all the good luck in the world. Also, big props to his amazing sister and family too. There when he needed them.

Wow just wow!! What an amazing human! His attitude to what happened to him is beyond his years and a true inspiration for us all. I was routing for him by the end race! He overcame his injuries, cared more for what his family felt, changed the future for many other disabled people and inspired so many not just in the racing business but to look to have that attitude towards our daily lives and hardships. Im sitting here at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> am scrolling through KZfaq as I am low and can't sleep etc and I find this! I wish him all the success in the world and so glad he has already been recognised by so many for his story and character.. ❤️

I can't imagine what losing only one limb could do. Nevermind two legs. I had heard about this story as it happened and instantly connected it to Zanardi's crash at Nurburgring. All the best to him and hope he can continue to race in any circumstance. Kid had and still has talent.

Wow he achieved all that in less than one year! Such an inspiration!

My shirt is soaking wet from wiping my tears! This is just absolutely AMAZING! Much love and support all the way from Auburn, New York!

Oh my God! Whew. I wasn't prepared for the emotional roller coaster this was. Wow. Him telling his mum to come in for a hug and consoling her not to cry is one of the scenes that stuck with me. I don't even know how that's possible. To be so bright, brave, cheerful, optimistic inspite of it all and having the courage to go back to that very thing. May you continue to prosper and never have any reason to lose this personality. I learnt a lot. To be grateful for the gift of life, take nothing for granted, and that failure, disappointment or tragedy is definitely not a reason to not go back and try again.

It's only when he will be in f1 ,to win that race last season was unbelievable. mentally so strong ,

Damn YT and their algorithm, it's 3am and my eyes are filled. Sir, we need more stories like yours, a family that comes together in full support of their own, and a young man who didn't give up and go looking for a safe place. Wishing you all the best!!

A legend. A heart of gold. People should strive to have his same mindset and attitude in life. Make what you can of your situation and opportunities and nothing can stop you. A true inspiration and a story that brings me to tears. My best to you Billy, go get 'em!

What an amazingly brave, strong, determined & lovely young man. He encouraged himself with wisdom way beyond his years.
