He was a 767 captain in his airline . I would trust him totally. An amazing man. Took on Boeing aggressively after a crash, you know few people could do what he achieved.
@@cindysue5474Yes, he went back to F1 racing about 6 weeks after he got badly burn in that fiery accident. A priest even read him his last rites at his bedside. I think from memory that he lost the F1 drivers championship by 1 point that year. A truly remarkable man. May he RIP
Leo Korn how tf is it his fault? One of his 767s crashed because of a mid air reverser deployment which was a mechanical problem. He didn’t kill Lauda Air
5:50 fill it up with fuel what do u mean fill it up, full tank u serious ? yes, fill it up, its a gift from you, why should i pay for the fuel? i have to go home lmao rip legend
you rarely saw Niki genuinely smiling, but when he tells the stories how he doesn't let people fuck with him he always has a smile like a big proud baby.
Niki Lauda is my hero. I followed his career driving when I was in high school and years later flying the L-1011 I had a LaudaAir pilot on my jumpseat. I was really interested to hear what he had to say because I knew that Niki flew the line routinely and this guy said he was a complete asshole... yes he had flown with him as captain and hated it... perfectionist, everything had to be absolutely correct. YOU BET... that's not being an asshole, that's being Niki Lauda perfect... there is that way, and then there is everything else, which is not correct. I thought he was incredibly lucky to get to say that he flew with Niki Lauda, and no doubt learned something and was a better pilot for it.
LoosMoose it's a typical OCD behavior of perfectionists. They are considered assholes but they get the job done. I still think he's a legend, definitely a dying breed of people
Please remember, why he is such a complete asshole (in the meaning of 'complete perfectionist')!! As a business man he experienced an airplane crash with no survivors - and the airplane was carrying HIS NAME!! An airplane crash with ALL ITS CONSEQUENCES (law suits, accusations by relatives, ...)!! And he never ever wants this to happen to his airline again. So it is logical that he demands everything related to his airline to be perfect. I am sure he explains this to his employees in a very polite way. But if one of his employees (e.g. co-pilots) doesn't want to understand this and the airplane is only few minutes before airborne, he has to take the direct way (=> the 'asshole'-way).
@O R Remember that many millionaires are millionaires simply because of their perfectionism and attention to detail (Lauda is one of them), if an employee is not happy to give everything and do as their rich employees demand then they are free to go to greener pastures.
I once flew with Niki's airline that he himself piloted, it was a very pleasant experience. Hostess's also had the coolest uniforms smart casual uniforms too.
Holly Wood He currently is number 2 at the richest and currently 5x consecutive world championships. One of the greatest drivers ever. You don't do all that without discipline and it the same with money 😂😂
Oh man,cries when I saw his face.Thanks a lot Lauda for all your dedication to the motorsports and aviation.I still remember when I first got his posters from my dad for Christmas gift.Still remember I put the posters next to Senna when I was young in my bedroom until it was destroyed by a friend's cat.Have a great time in Europe jumping around the continent by his airline either Lauda air or Niki! What a great airline with a competitive prices! All the best for that airline and I was hoping to fly it again to take me home to FRA
His character, integrity and hands on approach, is what's missing in the aviation and airline business today.... The industry today is full of people who learned everything they know on the Internet...
There needs to be more people in the world like Niki He was an amazing racer but truly amazing guy and cared about people that’s something I feel we’ve lost in the years
I am a racing fan from the U.S. so I didn't grow up watching F1. I always heard of Nikki Lauda but never knew he had an airline and Flew a Global. Legend. RIP.
The more I learn about this guy, the more I respect him. Not only was he a fearless racecar driver, he overcame horrendous injuries, and also had the balls, brains and heart to get into major business ventures. He seems highly intelligent, with an iron will. (And that stewardess has got a lovely bum 😃) 👍
Mr. Lauda was and always will be an example of what a genuine human being truly is. In world that is filled with people that are always looking to hear what they want to hear rather than be presented with the truth along with brutal honesty, this man gives us all an example of how things should be approached in life. Niki was always himself, he was not trying to be an actor as most people in this stage known as life. The final stage of a man according to Shakespere is the return to a child like state and I totally agree but there are a few exceptions along the way and Niki Lauda is one of them. I cherish any footage of this man being interviewed. Rest in peace Niki. You may not have had any friends around you in the end, yet I bet you were surrounded by many that loved you when you passed on. I do know for a fact you were immediately challenged in the after life to a race in the cosmos by your true friend James Hunt. Death is not the end, it is the beginning of an unknown to an unknown place, with no real destination as the soul takes on a journey through the infinite pages of time. I wish all people the best in life and hope we all can come together as one in the near future. The universe is electric energy powering the unknown and that is a beautiful thing if you think about it.
when the interviewer is respectful, he gets to go flying on a private aircraft. Instead of the ones who try to get into a war of words and are not even allowed into the homes of such legends.
An inspiration of manhood and blunt determination. We like to put many people on pedestals that surly have absolutely nothing on this guy. Very few people couldve gone thru the trials in life he's gone thru and have such sheer incorruptible will power and blunt logic to any and all of lifes situations. Burned up in a fire? ok so what does that have to do with winning the championship!? he's just that kinda guy, and not figuratively, hes actually the authentic real deal!!. He takes everything we do in procrastination hesitation doubt and flips i all on its head with utter non wavering logic. The clearly was a man who never cryed as a baby, because he was never a baby.
4:37 "Isnt it unnecessarily time consuming to fly your own planes....?" Obviously the man has never founded or ran a business..... For those of you who are considering starting your own business Niki has very very sound business habits. Listen closely and learn. So great and we miss him! RIP Niki, du bist vermisst!
Niki had the perfect balance of brutally honest without being rude.
kekke2000 it’s called being European
Super intelligent people are like that.
ramin alikhani nah he’s just European
@@fiachrabermingham9143 I'm like him, and I'm not European. So my assumption was correct!
ramin alikhani u just calling yourself super intelligent then 😂😂
He was a 767 captain in his airline . I would trust him totally. An amazing man. Took on Boeing aggressively after a crash, you know few people could do what he achieved.
Amen. RIP Niki.
@@satos1 I was going to say that amazing Man with with the drive to overcome with everything he went through when he was injured.
@@cindysue5474Yes, he went back to F1 racing about 6 weeks after he got badly burn in that fiery accident. A priest even read him his last rites at his bedside. I think from memory that he lost the F1 drivers championship by 1 point that year. A truly remarkable man. May he RIP
he is responsible for killing independent austrian airlines.
Leo Korn how tf is it his fault? One of his 767s crashed because of a mid air reverser deployment which was a mechanical problem. He didn’t kill Lauda Air
The more i watch about Lauda, the more respect, honesty and integrity and personality and truth. Always liked him and even more now.
Those are my exact sentiments.
TOTAL RESPECT!
ABSOLUTE LEGEND
RIP Niki Lauda
May 20th 2019
RIP to Niki. A true Legend and an inspiration.
Pat Rik Ameeen!!!
Legend. I wish more F1 people were as honest and open like him. That's what we need. Just say it like it is. Again; respect!
He is the real "most interesting man in the world".
5:50
fill it up with fuel
what do u mean
fill it up, full tank
u serious ?
yes, fill it up, its a gift from you, why should i pay for the fuel? i have to go home lmao
rip legend
Funny fact about Niki: he got € 1 million yearly for wearing the novomatic cap in publicity
you rarely saw Niki genuinely smiling, but when he tells the stories how he doesn't let people fuck with him he always has a smile like a big proud baby.
I could listen to Niki Lauda all day, what a legend...
i like the sarcasm when he says...what do you mean? are you serious?
Rest In Peace sir, a true inspirational man, a legend and a wise man.
Such a respectable and honest person, never knew anyone with such a rich history.
I could listen to him talk any day of the week. Tremendous human being. Thank you Mr Lauda, you are missed.

LoosMoose Simply: if something's not right, it's wrong.
My opinion.
Doesn't always help me in life, but it's my view.
As a passenger I want my pilot to do everything perfectly and correctly so I'm safe
@O R Remember that many millionaires are millionaires simply because of their perfectionism and attention to detail (Lauda is one of them), if an employee is not happy to give everything and do as their rich employees demand then they are free to go to greener pastures.
Absolute top man, wish there were more like him, the world would be a much better place. R.I.P. niki.
I once flew with Niki's airline that he himself piloted, it was a very pleasant experience. Hostess's also had the coolest uniforms smart casual uniforms too.
Im flying to vienna but my alternate airport is bangkok HAHAHAHA
Niki, what an absolute legend. A great man and a sorry loss as he moves into the next world.. xx
RIP. Thank you for everything.
Nikki was a true legend of tenacity. RIP
R.I.P. Mr Lauda, you were and will always be a true gentleman.
#nikilaudalegend#rip
What a wonderful interviewer!
great series of videos on Niki! Thank you Graham!
This is the coolest interview setting I've seen
Full tank of fuel on a 777 is a lot of money, Niki is a smart business man.
Holly Wood He currently is number 2 at the richest and currently 5x consecutive world championships. One of the greatest drivers ever. You don't do all that without discipline and it the same with money 😂😂
filling up a 777 costs over 230,000 USD (45000 gallons * $5.21 (cost per gallon) = $234,450
@Thankzgiving Dinnerz he's talking about the ones Mercedes won
@@gazamisheawoh nonone pays 5.21 for jet A
@@gazamisheawoh it's about 2$ per gallon
Brilliant pilot, businessman, gentleman and a man of wonderful character...Niki you shall be missed!!
Oh man,cries when I saw his face.Thanks a lot Lauda for all your dedication to the motorsports and aviation.I still remember when I first got his posters from my dad for Christmas gift.Still remember I put the posters next to Senna when I was young in my bedroom until it was destroyed by a friend's cat.Have a great time in Europe jumping around the continent by his airline either Lauda air or Niki!

A totally success and Good MAN about everything he does.. GOD Bless thisTrue CHAMPION...one of the best..!!
His character, integrity and hands on approach, is what's missing in the aviation and airline business today.... The industry today is full of people who learned everything they know on the Internet...
Graham...FYI...Mr. Lauda is your greatest interviewee to date!!
What an intelligent, well spoken and amazing man.
R.I.P Niki Lauda.
I didn't know this guy was actually A PILOT TOO 😂😂 what a legend
Niki is his own man!!!
There needs to be more people in the world like Niki He was an amazing racer but truly amazing guy and cared about people that’s something I feel we’ve lost in the years
Awsome man.... One of the kind... R. I.P good man
Haha always have loved his attitude, he’s a smart man!
He's a genius, smartest f1 driver
Was a tough man who respected results and ignored BS................a legend and an inspiration to anyone willing to listen and learn.
I am a racing fan from the U.S. so I didn't grow up watching F1. I always heard of Nikki Lauda but never knew he had an airline and Flew a Global. Legend. RIP.
He had 3 airlines. Great bussines man. If you really wanna know what kind of racer he was; see the movie RUSH. R.I.P. Nicky.
LOL the Boeing story is awesome and so typically Niki :D
"My alternate might be Bangkok" :D
This guy is legend. love his stance toward government. :D
And he is heavily business savvy.
It is actually pretry lit that you can just take your plane, take off at any time and head home
This man is a such a source of motivation. Such an amazing, positive attitude to life. Live long and prosper, Niki Lauda.
He was gem of a person great mind and such humble and down to earth having soo much
The guy is such a legend he was able to take off before V1!
The more I learn about this guy, the more I respect him. Not only was he a fearless racecar driver, he overcame horrendous injuries, and also had the balls, brains and heart to get into major business ventures.
He seems highly intelligent, with an iron will.
(And that stewardess has got a lovely bum 😃) 👍
RIP Nikki. A supperb intelligence!
That is Niki ! He was a great great man !
Every day I respect him more, it is too bad I only started to get to know him after his death. R.I.P an amazing man
This interview is priceless!
4 'Ringer' in the right hand seat - always nice to have a back up! :-)

The interviewer got nervous that he might be asked to fill up the tank 😂😂😂
RIP legend 😢😩😩
A great guy!! Very talented in many things!!

Probably the straightest, most single minded gent to have ever lived. And what a life he lived!!
What a man... Wish I could have met him
R.i.p niki . You are and will be sorely missed by millions .😥
love him
Niki Lauda was great friends with Falco back in the 90's. RIP Niki and Falco 🙏🏼❤️
You have a way of getting people to open up to you.
Makes me giggle when Tyson kind of turned on you for a second though hehe
That was a fun interview
He is a fighter
No matter what , he doesn't give up
Will miss you Niki. What an inspiration.
One of a kind.
RIP, Niki.
