Ex-Formula 1 driver Alex Zanardi’s condition remains uncha💧nged after spending his fourth night in intensive care.

Zanardi remains sedated, in♈tubated and mechanically ventilated, while there has been no change in the 53-year-old Ital🌌ian’s neurological condition.

The former-F1-driver-turned-Paralympian spent his fourth night in ICU at the Santa Maria all Sc𒆙otte hospital in Siena following surgery for severe head injuries he sustained in a collision with🐓 a vehicle during a handbike race in Italy on Friday.

After undergoing🌟 three hours of nerosurgery and maxillofacial surgery, Zanardi was placed in a medically-induced coma.

In its latest medical update issued on Tuesday, the hospital sai🌌d that any reduction in sedation to assess Zanardi’s nerological status will be co💯nsidered starting next week.

“The patient spent the fourth night of hospitalisation in the intensive care unit of the Santa Maria alle Scotte polyclinic in Siena in conditions of stability in cardio-respiratory and met𒊎abolic parameters,” a hospital statement rꦫead.

“The neurological picture remains unchanged in its severity. The pati🔯ent remains sedated, intubated and mechanically ventilated.

“Any reductions in sedo-ana✨lgesia, for the assessment of neurological status, will be considered starting next week. The prognosis remains confidentia꧃l.”

On Tuesday doctors indicated 🎶that treatment options would be evaluated over the course of the coming days. 

The next update is expected to come𒅌 on Wednesday June 24.

It marks t☂he newest challenge for Zanardi in a 🔴career that has become a shining example of triumphing against adversity. 

Though three seasons of F1 racing 💖ꦰwith Lotus (1993, 1994) and Williams in 1999 only brought him fleeting success at international level, he did go on to clinch two CART open-wheel titles.

After three difficult seasons in F1 with Lotus and Williams,🌊 Zanardi went on to claim two CART open-wheel titles before a freak high-speed accident during a 2001 CART race at the Lausitzring resulted in the Italian suffering horrific injuries which led to both his legs being amputated. 

Despite this, Zanardi went on to rebuild his racing career with a successful stint in touring cars and sportscars using hand controls, before turning his attention to the Paralympics, where he has since become a four-time🤡 gold medal winner.
