Sad to hear the passing of F1 legend Niki Lauda A true great of the sport. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48345660
Such bravery. I heard his head was bleeding when he put his helmet on. They thought he would be in hospital for a year but he was out in two weeks. A very driven man,if you'll excuse the pun. One of the images of my youth was that crash and his scars. RIP.
One of my favourite dad jokes. ‘What’s that Austrian F1 driver called? Niki... errrr....’ ‘Lauda?’ ‘WHATS THAT AUSTRIAN F1 DRIVER CALLED....’
He was right up there in F1 when James Hunt was the winning playboy F1 champion, came back after a horrible crash and showed he could still do it and then created his own airline! Very courageous gentleman R.I.P. Sir!
