Mika Salo: I have known Alex since the karting days...
The world of motorsport mourns Alex Zanardi, who passed away on May 1, and this news deeply affected Mika Salo, as he had known the Italian driver since childhood. Then, when Mika made his Formula 1 debut with Team Lotus at the end of the 1994 season, Zanardi was his teammate for two races, in Japan and Australia. Both turned 28 that year...
"This news shocked me," Mika Salo is quoted by the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat. "He lived a very difficult life. Alex succeeded in everything he did, but terrible misfortune always followed his successes.
I knew Alex since our karting days; we competed against each other since childhood, and then it happened that we became teammates in Formula 1. He was always a nice and friendly guy who never got down. For many, Alex became a model of resilience, as he knew how to overcome any life's hardships."
