Sad passing of Niki Lauda
One of the bravest drivers, a true F1 legend.

RIP to a true Formula 1 legend. Briefly met him once at the British GP many years ago.

Very sad news indeed.
A true motorsport legend. Absolutely agree that if you haven't seen "Rush" then get yourself a copy. RIP. Andy. Last edited by AndyN01; 21st May 2019 at 06:40.. |

Sorry to read of his passing in the news earlier a legend in the world of motor racing.
He owns an airline company as I’ve worked on a few of them currently 2 nacelles in the workshop for repair. RIP Nikki. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sad passing of Niki Lauda
I remember seeing the crash on the news as a young lad, then watching him race again so soon afterwards.
RIP to one of the greats of the sport.

Don't normally bother about celebs but gutted this morning. I first watch F1 in 76 and this man had me hooked.
I grew up and still am a McLaren fan rather than a specific driver but as I say this man along with James Hunt got me hooked. Very sad this morning. Not that his family would know what an mgzt or r75 is nor this forum, my thoughts go out to them. A great loss in F1
