May 21, 20196 yr Lauda was one of the all time greatest drivers and a huge personality in the sport. We will not see his like again. Genuinely saddened by this. Edited May 21, 20196 yr by Severin
May 21, 20196 yr Author Only heard about the news from an notification on my tablet, got woken up by it "He suffered third-degree burns and yet returned to racing 40 days later Niki Lauda was undoubtedly the bravest man in F1, to return to racing 40 days later after that horrific crash at the old Nurburgring in 1976 is nothing short of remarkable. I'm sure most of you will have seen the 2013 film 'Rush' which focused on that 1976 F1 season between him and James Hunt. Lauda also produced two of the greatest comebacks in F1 by winning the title the following year, and returning from a two-year absence, seven years after winning his world title to win his third in 1984 by a half a point from Alain Prost, the closet ever margin in F1. He is one of the F1 greats. I highly recommend that you see 'Rush' the 2013 film that focused on the Hunt-Lauda rivalry, that really did focus on the rivalry very well.
May 21, 20196 yr RIP to an icon of the sport. One of the very greatest talents ever seen or we will ever see. Rush is my favourite film of all time.
