British racing driver Billy Monger claims his first victory since having both legs amputated after a crash two years ago.

He was seriously injured during a Formula 4 race at Donington Park in April 2017 but returned to racing less than a year after the accident at the British Formula 3 Championship.

'Billy Whizz' became the first disabled driver to race a single-seater car and claimed his maiden British F3 pole position on his return to Donington Park in September 2018.
