The former Formula One driver and Paralympic champion, who was seriously injured in a June 19 road accident, was taken to a rehabilitation clinic on Tuesday, after more than a month in hospital.
"Dad will make it, I am sure. He will make it also this time. And one day we will talk about it. He will talk to me and also my [future] children. I am hopeful, and so is mum," Niccolo told the Corriere della Sera newspaper."What matters is knowing if we will be able to communicate again with him. We have a very long path ahead of us, but it is finally a downhill path," he said.
According to Niccolo, Zanardi's recovery"has been a lot faster than what we were expecting. But we should not be surprised: that's dad. That man's energy is incredible, his strength is extraordinary." Last month, Zanardi suffered severe brain and skull injuries during a handbike race in Tuscany. After the crash he was operated on three times and was kept in an induced coma until last week.He switched to paracycling after losing both legs in 2001 car racing accident in Germany, and won four gold and two silver medals at the 2012 and 2016 Paralympics.
