Inspirational. It is a word that has been used a lot in connection with Billy Monger - and rightly so. But it is something that Monger himself struggles to see himself as.

He is, of course, referring to the horrific crash at Donington Park last April that changed his life forever. There was nothing particularly out of the ordinary for the third British Formula 4 race of the Donington weekend - apart from the sight of championship leader Jamie Caroline at the rear of the field, perhaps. There was certainly no suggestion that the worst single-seater crash in Britain for many years was about to occur.
