You can see that Niki trusts the interviewer completely and is comfortable enough to disclose everything, Graham lets him speak uninterrupted! Brilliant
Hats of for niki lauda. Im burn victim myself. I was stopping fire from burning house down without proper equipment and had 3 other surgeries and and got clear from drug addiction opiates like oxycontin life is not always eazy but it doesnt care. So just keep going
The Niki Lauda I know wouldn't lead you or anyone into battle. He'd stop on top of the trench, take one look out and he would say this: "why the fuck would you or anyone else want to get into this insanity? Why dont we just get all these people put them into cars, let them race, and then they can measure their dicks that way".
i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
CCFerrariF1 ... He's very analytical... although he never over, or out thinks himself when calculating the circumstances he find himself having to consider...
He is so right about the small safety stuff. I always wear seatbelt even on busses, and stop when my mobile rings. Its stupid to do something that is obviously dangerous.
Formula 1 has lost such a great person, from what he went through & to come back is phenomenal the personal drive in this guy is just wow & I admire him for this & much much more RIP
I think besides beeing a gifted driver and a genius at car setup, niki was and is a great sports-psychologist before this branch was even invented. Still one of my favorite racers on 4 wheels.
Rip Niki. Listening to his comments about fear after a crash, i can only admire just how much willpower today's motogp riders have to ride a bike after a serious crash. I see marq, lorenzo, crutchlow even after a high speed crash the one thing in their mind is always 'will i be fit for the race?' not worrying about anything other than that. Rossi is too experienced now that u rarely see him crash but marq and crutchlow almost crash once per weekend even more but they always come back without losing an once of their previous speed! God bless all the riders
Damn straight, brother. Tough as nail is an understatement. The Formula 1 that Lauda raced in is not the same F1 that guys race in today. The racers accepted the FACT that crashes were going to happen and that there WOULD BE deaths. Not only knowing that, but accepting that was one of the biggest hurdles the racers had to accept in order to achieve greatness. Lauda obviously achieved this. I did not recall that it was only 40 days after his crash when he climbed back in to the car and started to compete again. That takes major, MAJOR balls.
I've heard this news so it's morning of the day in Thailand, this is tragic and this year we losts Charlie Whiting and him and I've come to see that other news about him all day. So good to see him for now and rest in peace, Niki.
Niki is absolutely right - We know that avoidance heightens anxiety. While many aspects of mental health treatment remain elusive or challenging, the greatest gains have been made in regards to phobias. Today, we know how to treat phobias through exposure therapy with unprecedented success rates (insofar as other mental health issues are concerned). So, Niki is right when he says he has to get back into the car as soon as possible. Avoidance will only heighten anxiety. Sitting around thinking about it will only make it worse. Of course, the proof is in the pudding and we see him continue racing and winning a championship. He is not only a racing god, but he is also an incredibly inspirational example of will, conquering fear, summoning up courage to get back into the car and not only perform, but do so at the highest level. His passing was insignificant in the face of his life, living his dreams, and thus truly living as a human being. May we all be so lucky in our lives to have the courage to live to the fullest, no matter what this is. 7 habits of successful people should have a picture of Niki next to it. .
He was the cleverest driver I've ever seen .He's 3er world title in 1984 was huge , against Prost and other wxcellebt drivers ! And that Mc claren MP was the base of the Senna and Prost's dinasty ...
Incredible man, I think if you looked up focused in the dictionary his picture would appear. My doctor told me you should live into your mid 80's, "just don't do stupid". Almost fell off the roof two weeks later. I'm still working on it
This is very true. Ok i wasnt a F1 driver. I was a bus driving. Had a bad accident which wasnt my fault. I came back quickly & overcome my worry to drive buses again. No way the same. No way same pressure. I can relate to this in some way. Try put urself under less pressure.
In this interview there's also an indirect explanation of the reason for the sport divorce between Lauda and Ferrari. After the Nurbrurgring accident, no one knew if and when Lauda would return, and so Ferrari hired Reutemann. Lauda thought Ferrari would consider him a racing driver no longer able to run in F1 and so he no longer trusted in Ferrari. When Lauda then retired during the GP of Japan, because of a torrential rain, Ferrari was no longer trusting Lauda and privileging Reutemann. The following year, in 1977, Lauda became world champion and Ferrari thought the issue was over. Lauda, on the other hand, did not forget that, in his opinion Ferrari had treated him badly, and left Ferrari just being mathematically a world champion without disputing the last two Grand Prix.
Amazing interview. Typical German dry humor. Can’t imagine the courage it took to get back in a car and not just drive, but drive competitively. Courageous man.
What niki lauda was talking about not slipping in the shower is what the Buddha teach: mindfulness. Literally, a lot of our misery come from lack of mindfulness, i.e. not paying attention to what we are doing. If you just pay attention, you save yourself a lot of trouble. Buddhist monk are not supposed to wear shoes, even when walking in city because they are supposed to be practicing mindfulness, i.e. pay attention to how you are even walking!
Here’s a man who risked his life behind the wheel of race cars and at the same time after his accident he had to take precautions against smoke accidents like slipping in the shower.
There are two basic types of people. Two Dimensional Reactors and Three Dimensional Thinkers. This is what he is talking about. TDR's decide to do something and Just do it without thinking about consequences or if what they have decided is even correct. A TDT's does it in their mind first, from A to Z, considers everything that could happen and then does it in the safest and most effective way. TDR's dominate mankind.
After I saw the movie Rush, I quit drinking after a close encounter with the police. I thought about Lauda’s Attitude in the movie and I made up my mind.
Thats an really intersting comment;) it implicates an admirement for being strong. In my opinion nowadays the austrian are highly underated caused by two lost wars in the 20th century and loosing their dominating position over central and eastern europe after decades occupying them. But maybe the better, a Naziregime over Europe would not let us chat us about this topic nowadays free. Anyway, heroes like niki are not a singularity, there are and were some big characters who impressed the world....Porsche, Mateschitz, Strauss, Schwarzenegger, Hermann Maier, Mozart...Bastards sounds harsh to me, but i agree, such characters searching for the wrong topic can be found as real bastards at the end...as you can find in AH in this crazy ideas...a shame for such a great historic nation with great inhabitants
Did really one or two guys die per year back then? I mean from f1 alone. Cause thats an exaggeration i think. I cant bring any names in my mind that died due to crashes in f1 when lauda drove maybe 1 during his whole career? I dont know... correct me if i am wrong.
Only between 70 and 82 I remember Rindt, McLaren, Rodriguez, Giunti, Siffert, Cevert, Koennig, Donohue, Pryce, Peterson, Depailler, Villeneuve, Paletti... I surely forget 2 or 3 others at least, which means an average of more than one driver per year. Of course, I'm taking in consideration some of F1 drivers who died in other races or private tests, not only during F1 GPs
vd It always matters. Anyway the thing is with Niki is that he can face truth. Not everyone can. Very few actually. I was curious as to whether or not he believes in God. Maybe he does. I don’t know. Perhaps you can tell me.
@@paulwilfridhunt I really do not see any importance in somebodys religion... thats a personal thing... but to my knowledge I don't think he does as I said previously.
vd Well that’s a pity if that’s true. He’s an intelligent man. But no one is exempt from mind bending. The mind can bend. Hence that’s why you can have 2 intelligent people with opposite points of view. A Republican and a Democrat for instance. It’s the bending of the mind which allows this to happen. No matter which way you cut it, God definitely exists. That’s a fact but with the assistance of mind bending a person can be an atheist. They don’t want God to exist but they don’t know this. The greatness of God messes with our greatness. They naturally feel good believing there is no God because they’ve gotten rid of the inferiority problem. But it’s the wrong way. You have to join forces with God. That’s what I have done.
vd Don’t underestimate the usefulness of religion in society. It calms down the people. It tends to prevent uprisings and rebellions. You can reasonably safely walk around in a country like India because many of those people who would be violent are peaceful because of their religion. Napoleon said the purpose of religion is to stop the poor from murdering the rich. These crazy shootings in the USA are being perpetrated by the Godless. However the bible says that the purpose of religion is to take care of the widows and orphans. I believe that the creator became a human being called Jesus Christ.
You can see that Niki trusts the interviewer completely and is comfortable enough to disclose everything, Graham lets him speak uninterrupted!
Brilliant
Can listen to this gentleman for hours. Honest with himself and the people around him. Great racer, greater human being.
RIP Niki

Hats off to you to, stay strong brother
Sad to hear about those accidents, I hope you are doing well and stay strong buddy we are all with you🖤💪💪
I admire Niki. He is an honest, principled man. He has true leadership qualities and is someone whom I’d “follow over the top, into battle”.

@Terrance Jeffrey Instablaster =)
Sometimes people think he's arrogant, but its just that he's got no time for BS. And he's earned it after having gone through what he did
Watching this reminds me of what a fantastic job Daniel Bruhl did in Rush!
Agreed. There appeared to be no line between Bruhl and Lauda in that movie. One blended seamlessly into the other.
There could be no one better than Niki, to impart these lessons of life. Absolutely amazing! Stay blessed in heaven.
His mind is amazing.... to go back and process that.... the more I learn about Niki the more I admire and respect him.
Niki likes Bob Marley!!!...Now i'm a serious fan!!...
Niki is a very brilliant guy. So calculated

Excellent interview. Niki Lauda was a remarkable man.
Can't even imagine having this kind of self control and dedication!
Niki was the great human being and racer
Thank you Graham. Thank you Nikki. It is important not to put much pressure on our backs
I watched the film Crash a few years back. Great movie. Niki Lauda seemed like a very interesting person when he was alive.
Great man, sticks to his principles, well done Niki, a truly dedicated winner
He reminds of the golfer Gary player,in that I could listen to him talk about anything all day long.
What an amazing and usefull lesson in life from this legend.!

Nikki is straight talking, plain speaking, brutally honest, totally grounded.
This guy is such a great inspiration
He is better looking now than he was when he had the accident. What a great guy and what brains !!!!! respect !
i was listening to this man talk with my mouth opened!!!
Very interesting man
He was the cleverest driver I've ever seen .He's 3er world title in 1984 was huge , against Prost and other wxcellebt drivers !
And that Mc claren MP was the base of the Senna and Prost's dinasty ...
If you have half the willpower of Niki Lauda, you are pretty well off.
Incredible man, I think if you looked up focused in the dictionary his picture would appear. My doctor told me you should live into your mid 80's, "just don't do stupid". Almost fell off the roof two weeks later. I'm still working on it
One of the greatest drivers ever!! RIP Niki Lauda.
RIP Niki we miss you.
Great man.

Niki Lauda is a Formula 1 legend always and forever
What a wise man
Having never actually watched much stuff about Niki, I'm now so devastated that he's no longer with us.
did he die, lately ? I had no idea.
what a legend
Very brave man and wonderful perseverance to gain compensation for those lost in Lauda Air disaster. 🤔

Nearly burned alive at the "Green Hell" back in the car, three more World Championships. Master of Fear. Peerless.

This dude looks better now than before his accident. You cant even notice the burns with the wrinkles and somehow his overbite disappeared.
This is why Mercedes is so good!
well he is in the ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ now...well done.
