Billy Monger vows to race again

Teenage British racing driver Billy Monger, who lost both legs following a horror crash last month, has vowed to get back behind the wheel.

Monger was racing in the Formula 4 championship at Donington Park when he was involved in a high-speed collision with a stationary car, and trapped for 90 minutes. Despite medics' best efforts, the teenager lost both of his lower legs and has spent nearly three weeks at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.

His story has touched motor sport fans the world over who have raised £800,000 in his name, with former Formula 1 world champions Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button giving their backing to the teenager known as Billy Whizz.
