A rising star on the British motorsports circuit, and an inspirational speaker who has overcome adversity to perform at the top-level of BRDC - Billy Whizz as he is fondly known, is a double leg amputee who is a current star of Formula Three. Between 2016 and 2017, then 17-year-old, Billy Monger was widely thought of as one of the top young talents in the sport. After making contact with an unsighted, stationary car at over 120mph during a British F4 race at Donnington Park circuit, he was airlifted to hospital in what was described as one of the most horrendous collisions in motorsport history leaving him with life-changing injuries.

Monger awoke from a coma and both of his legs were amputated. He received treatment and the support of many high-profile F1 drivers including Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton. Despite the huge personal challenges that lay ahead, Billy wasted no time in setting out his goal to return to motor racing in the future. Fuelled by an outpouring of support from the motorsport industry and the wider public, Billy embarked on his remarkable journey to a different future. In a car specially modified by Carlin, Billy made his return to racing just seven months after his crash. He would ride as part of a programme supporting disabled drivers before testing a Formula 3 car in 2018, showing incredible mental resilience.

Amazingly, Monger and his family successfully appealed for a change of FIA regulations, leading to the governing body to overturn restrictions for single seat disabled drivers in Formula 3 racing, as long as vehicles could pass safety checks. His race team, Carlin, would modify his racecar, allowing him to break with his leg stump and operate the throttle with a lever attached to the steering wheel. He would race for his team at the BRDC Formula 3 series and after finishing third in the race he walked onto the podium. That same season, he enjoyed four podium finishes and a sixth-place finish overall in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship.

Monger's story brought significant mainstream media attention, and in 2018 he was the subject of a Sky Sports feature during coverage of the 2018 Austrian Grand Prix. The footage showed Monger driving anF1 racing car for the first time. The BBC would release, Driven: The Billy Monger Story in the winter of 2018. The year would also see Monger win the BBC Sports Personality Helen Rollason Award, citing outstanding achievement in the face of adversity. In the Euro formula Open Championship 2019, Monger is eleventh place after 12 races, having won his first race at that level. He also works as an analyst for Channel 4, for the television coverage of F1 races.

In 2022 UK broadcaster Channel 4 has announced that its coverage of the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games would be fronted by a team consisting entirely of disabled anchors and pundits. In what it described as a "global first" for a world-class sporting event, the network's line-up included the amazing Billy Monger and other notable former champions.
