BARCELONA: Racing driver Juan Manuel Correa considers he is more “crazy than brave” as he returns to the grand prix circuit 20 months after the accident that killed his friend Anthoine Hubert.
The Ecuadorean-born 21-year-old suffered terribly, both physically and mentally, after the Formula Two crash at Spa-Francorchamps that claimed Hubert’s life, and changed his own irrevocably.
“It will define and has defined who I am,” he told AFP candidly this week in Barcelona ahead of his comeback in the Spanish Formula 3 Grand Prix on Saturday.
“I always say there was a Juan Manuel Correa before the crash and there will be always a Juan Manuel Correa after the crash.”
