Billy Edmund Albert Monger (born 5 May 1999)[1] is a British racing driver who raced in British F4 in 2016 and 2017. He now works as a commentator/pundit and TV personality. He has been referred to by the nickname Billy Whizz.[3][4][5] after the character in British comic The Beano.
In April 2017, he was critically injured after being in a collision at Donington Park that caused both of his legs to be amputated, one below and the other above the knee.[3][6][5] Up to that point, he had been heavily involved in kart racing all over the UK and the Channel Islands, as well as a successful Ginetta Junior racer before moving into single seater categories.
After treatment and therapy, Monger returned to competition in November 2017. In 2018, Monger was awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Helen Rollason Award for outstanding achievement in the face of adversity.[7] From 2019, he provided analysis for Channel 4 F1.[8] He also competed in the Formula 3 based Euroformula Open championship for Carlin Motorsport, achieving his first single seater race win at the 2019 Pau Grand Prix.
