Billy Monger celebrates F3 win with Daniel Ricciardo-esque 'Leggy'

Double amputee Billy Monger celebrated his first appearance on the British Formula 3 podium at the weekend with his own special take on F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo's 'shoey'.

Monger lost both his legs in a horrifying crash during a British Formula 4 race last year after smashing into the back of a slow-moving car which had suddenly lost power. Despite his injuries, he has made a remarkable comeback this year in a different series.

At the weekend, he claimed his first podium since the accident. To celebrate, he mimicked Ricciardo's habit of drinking champagne from his race boot -- albeit from one of the prosthetic legs he uses to race.
