** FILE ** Italian former racing driver Alex Zanardi walks on leg-prostheses into the "Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin" (Accident Hospital Berlin) on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2002. Alex Zanardi, who lost both legs in a horrific crash five years ago, will return to Formula One next month in a test drive with BMW Sauber. Zanardi, who drove 41 races in Formula One, lost his legs in a crash on Sept. 15, 2001, in Klettwitz, Germany. He was racing in the American Memorial 500, a race in the American-based CART series. "Of course, I know that I won't get a contract with the Formula One team," the 40-year-old Zanardi said. "However, having the chance to drive an F1 racer again is just incredible."
