Slavn\u00fd Bruce McLaren, jen\u017e zalo\u017eil jednu z nej\u00fasp\u011b\u0161n\u011bj\u0161\u00edch st\u00e1j\u00ed Formule 1, trp\u011bl degenerativn\u00edm onemocn\u011bn\u00edm ky\u010deln\u00edho kloubu. Posti\u017een\u00ed mu v\u0161ak nezabr\u00e1nilo, aby nez\u00e1vodil. Nejd\u0159\u00edve v sanatoriu na invalidn\u00edm voz\u00edku, pozd\u011bji ji\u017e v superrychl\u00fdch automobilech.<\/p>\n
P\u0159ed 76 lety se na Nov\u00e9m Z\u00e9landu narodil Bruce McLaren. Otec vlastnil autoservis, a tak mal\u00fd Bruce vn\u00edmal v\u016fni benzinu u\u017e v ko\u010d\u00e1rku a motal se kolem aut od doby, kdy se nau\u010dil chodit.<\/p>\n
Jen\u017ee v deseti letech onemocn\u011bl Perthesovou chorobou, co\u017e je degenerativn\u00ed onemocn\u011bn\u00ed ky\u010deln\u00edho kloubu. Dva roky str\u00e1vil na l\u016f\u017eku, ale nedok\u00e1zal jen le\u017eet a koukat do stropu.<\/p>\n
Pozd\u011bji p\u0159iznal, \u017ee v sanatoriu organizoval z\u00e1vody stejn\u011b star\u00fdch pacient\u016f na kole\u010dkov\u00fdch k\u0159eslech. Co\u017e bylo samoz\u0159ejm\u011b p\u0159\u00edsn\u011b zak\u00e1z\u00e1no, ov\u0161em Bruce na to nedbal. „O\u0161et\u0159ovatel\u00e9 n\u00e1s nikdy nechytili,“ vypr\u00e1v\u011bl pozd\u011bji se sm\u00edchem.<\/p>\n
U\u017e v ml\u00e1d\u00ed se tak projevovaly dva v\u00fdrazn\u00e9 rysy jeho osobnosti \u2013 organiza\u010dn\u00ed talent a optimismus. N\u00e1sledek choroby v\u0161ak byl patrn\u00fd, Brucova lev\u00e1 noha byla o n\u011bco krat\u0161\u00ed ne\u017e prav\u00e1 a McLaren m\u00edrn\u011b kulhal. Za volantem ale handicap zn\u00e1t nebyl\u2026<\/p>\n
„Nevyu\u017e\u00edvat sv\u00fdch schopnost\u00ed by bylo pl\u00fdtv\u00e1n\u00ed \u017eivotem. C\u00edt\u00edm toti\u017e, \u017ee jeho kvalita je m\u011b\u0159iteln\u00e1 t\u00edm, \u010deho dos\u00e1hnete, nikoliv t\u00edm, kolika let se do\u017eijete,“ je dal\u0161\u00ed z jeho my\u0161lenek a sv\u00fdm \u017eivotem dokazoval jej\u00ed opravdovost.<\/p>\n
Ve 14 letech si postavil z\u00e1vodn\u00ed auto. A trp\u011bliv\u011b \u010dekal na 16. narozeniny, nebo\u0165 ty\u00a0 mu umo\u017enily z\u00edskat \u0159idi\u010dsk\u00fd pr\u016fkaz. S vozem Austin 7 Ulster za\u010dal tenhle kulhav\u00fd mlad\u00edk startovat v z\u00e1vodech do vrchu, p\u0159i nich\u017e uk\u00e1zal sv\u016fj talent.<\/p>\n
Za\u010dal startovat na okruz\u00edch v novoz\u00e9landsk\u00e9m \u0161ampion\u00e1tu a rychle se \u0161plhal nahoru.<\/p>\n
