F3 driver who lost both legs celebrates with 'leggy' after podium finish
Billy Monger, who lost both of his legs in a horrific crash last year, put his own twist on the "shoey" celebration over the weekend.
Following his third-place podium finish in Sunday's British Formula 3 race at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, the 19-year-old removed one of his prosthetic legs and proceeded to drink champagne from it. He calls it a "leggy."
Well @BillyMonger sees your shoey @danielricciardo and he raises you...this is a ‘leggy’?!
