- Niki Lauda presents many images to race fans the world over.He is The Man Who Came Back From The Dead, following his astonishing recovery from the fiery accident in the German Grand Prix of 1976 that so nearly killed him.
He is a triple World Champion. The man who advised Ferrari in his retirement. The man who quit racing to start his own airline, and came back to win again.
Lauda is all of these men, and more.
Niki Lauda is one of the most analytical and cagey drivers ever. His honest and straightforward answers during interviews are always fun to hear, and in my mind, he's among the greatest F1 drivers of all time.
Yes.
Bill Dumas he's up there with Sir Stirling Moss, Sir Jackie Stewart, James Hunt Ayrton Senna etc
Bill Dumas Definitely my favorite. His honesty is refreshing.
But we know "analytical" is DOMINATED by Ayrton Senna; Lauda is (2nd) up that Ladder.
Timeline would had been so interesting with: Senna, Lauda, Hunt, Scheckter, and Schumacher ---- all out during the same seasons. Challenging their MINDSETS against each other. (may any other have shared the same emotions, that Schumacher was found to have?)
@@mikew7984 Exactly, he was the only driver that could keep up with Senna during the Mercedes race. Well maybe not keeping up but there was a gap between him and the rest of the drivers. So definitely one of the greatest.
I remember reading a great story about Lauda from when he was at Ferrari. He couldn't speak Italian, and he couldn't get the team's engineers to make the changes to the cars that he wanted made. He actually learned Italian so he could speak directly to Enzo Ferrari, who then ordered the team to make any changes Lauda asked for. Lauda drove the car to the championship.
RIP Niki Lauda. You’re always a legend!
A great driver in a great golden era of F1, never to be repeated,,
That 0:56 interview sounds exactly like Daniel Brühl in Rush. He did great job.
HE DOES !! WOOOOOW
Yes man quite amazing thing ,right!
Oh God, he does
Pece17 I actually thought it was Senna xddddddd
Brilliant man. Not just race driver. Brilliant man!
Murray Walker's string vest is the best fashion choice I've ever seen on TV. What a guy.
Niki always a Champ!
RIP Niki.
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo in an interview told that Lauda, at Ferrari, was nicknamed "golden ass" because with his back he felt all the vibrations of the car. Sometimes, in not important tests, the mechanics, to make a joke, while he took a break away, only slightly changed a few details of the set-up. Although the change was minimal, almost imperceptible, Lauda, as Lauda drowe again the car just after a lap, came back to the box and asked the chief of the mechanics "did you change something?"
Lauda was indeed a unique driver, and is a straight shooting, unique person. Can’t disrespect that.
Niki have a same voice as a Ayrton Senna :/
great driver and legend !
I would rather say that Laud has an xtremely similar TALKING PATTERN. (but) Slower Pace. [related to (a) Lauda been older age, and/or (b) Lauda had lesser thoughts processed in his mindset, as a result of outcome/
Rip a true legend
Dude, the guy from Rush fuckin NAILED his role. The way he speaks is absolutely spot on, its insane.
probably another very honest guy in the paddock. always speaks his mind.
Niki lauda what a legend!!
I have been watching F1 since the late 60's. I think only people who have actually sat in an F1 car and tried to get it out of first, then around a track, have any idea how difficult it is to just drive them. Let alone race them. All the drivers deserve props. Can you imagine competing on the Nurburgring on a dry track, et alone a wet one?
I like how he keeps quiet about some of the dirty tricks that were played on him.
highly respect his character to keep striving even after his accident.
We all have our favorites, usually from our younger days. Enzo Ferrari and Ferdinand Porsche thought Tazio Nuvalari was the best ever. Enzo lived long enough to see all these guys race. Even though Clark will always be my favorite, I have a hard time disagreeing with Ferrari. But search TH-cam for Schumacher racing go karts and you will see an absolute master tactician who doesn't just pass opponents but does so in a manner that puts his pursuer at a disadvantage.
I have huge respect for Lauda he was before my time being a fan of F1 more I listen to him and watch his races the more im blown away with his iron grit no nonsense competitive no bullshit attitude . For him to get back in the car 6 weeks later after that horrible crash shows his determination and unbelievable resilience the man had. Most people would be healing up racing being the last thing on your mind
aboslute legend gentleman of motorsport i met him at heathrow when i worked for ba offloading his aircraft he flew in himself lauda airlines,he said to me as head loader good afternoon look after my bird,i thoughtit was his wife but he meant his aircraft.
RIP Legend...❤
3:25 ...I couldn't believe what the fu**..hell is going on ... thanks for the interview Niki Lauda ! classy guy !
I wish he was still alive, he is still the greatest driver in my opinion❤
Great driver great man no bullshit, RIP Nicki thanks for the memories.
What an incredible guy Niki Lauda is Absolute legend
No intention to spoil the film "Rush".
I have such admiration for Lauda's determination and shear force of will to recover in such a short time to try and retain the title. Even more so when he but health before glory.
Legend!!!!
Maybe Lauda is the best!?...how great must a man be to go thru what he did in that N'ring crash and have the 🌰🌰 to get back in a car and race again!?!?!
What a legend
Just saw Rush, and am embarrassed to admit I didn't really know anything about Mr Lauda or Mr Hunt. Now I am furthering my education. Thanks for posting!
Love Lauda, what a bloke
Thanks for sharing a great video.
I will check it out. Thanks and take care!!
No, I am a Yank. I hate lists, but it is a start. Yes, you listed other great drivers. I think Andretti and others who were successful in F1, Indy and Sportscars are a special breed. I like Derek Bell a lot. An excellent driver, a good team player and most of all a gentleman. I think time will bring Schumi up the list. Graham was a great character, but a bit hard on his cars. Rally drivers deserve a lot of respect, too.
Did not think about that. Forget the F1 tracks and lets bring Vettel and his favorite RB to LeMans. I was looking at the LeMans layout it would be close. On the straights the LeMans spaceship with its top speed could get the advantage but on the corners the F1 could have the advantage. They should set it up for the fans it would be interesting to see the out come.
Hearing Niki talk during that 76 season really reminds me how good of a job Daniel Bruhl (sorry for spelling) did in rush.
Put on that thick Austrian accent very well
Thank U Lauda for giving young Prost credit for handling a 1200 horsepower Turbo monster better than U over one all out lap. Both U and Prost are legends of F1.
Niki Lauda has enviable character. He also has an exceptional command of English.
What a fascinating dude?
My hero
Very true. These cars are hard to drive then and now but for the most part these drivers are in a go kart by the time they are 4 years old just to get to F1 some day. Racing in the rain is one of the reasons why I mostly watch F1 as far as racing goes. They say F1 cars are the fastest race cars in the world right now. Too bad it is not that popular in the USA but Bernie is trying.
I LUV THIS GUY lauda & WALKER it's so hard to fully understand how different these guys (racers of the day) really are (to race in tubes of fuel). I raced moto & my sense of survival always meant that I would finish 2nd -3rd-4th ..17th
Prost is still under-rated. The more I learn about that era of racing the more I respect Prost. Especially when you consider those beasts he used to drive. How many of today's drivers cold handle those turbo monsters. Just a couple maybe.
Mister Lauda is a sportiv example to go over a crash. He is austrian, and , in Austria , there are a lot of Mountain ( de la glace svp)
Very true! Prost is my second favorite driver of all time. His magic was his driving style for me. Very little electronics if any and 1200 hp of Turbo boosted engine yet he drove it as if a computer was driving the car. How do U do that. Till this day experts don't know how he did it. Ayrton knew this. In contrast everyone could see how hard Ayrton had to push all his cars.
Senna beat Prost 17-8 in races (excluding DNFs) and 32-4 in qualifying. Don’t compare the two
I think there has to be some discussion of this online, somewhere. that would be an interesting race. F1 acceleration is hard to beat.
@philateliceun Schumi picked his red helmet for 2000 because Barrichello, who joined the team, had the same colours as Schumi had on his 90's helmet (white and red). Irvine had a red helmet in 1996, 97, 98 and 99. That's the official story :D
Please come back from the dead, again...
Lauda to Ferrari upon testing his car: "The car is shit."
Niki in a nutshell lol.
LeMans cars are pretty fast, and could be faster if they hadn't changed the straightaway. I think Americans like NASCAR because it is so accessible - left turn only.
"when gordon murry (jim hall Chaparral) came up with the idea...."
Would be cool to have a Demo of the fastest LeMans spaceship against Vettel and his Red bull at Spa for the fastest lap time.
Senna was the greatest naturally fast driver ever. But Prost knew how to preserve the car and the tires, and still be in the position to win. Prost had to deal with Senna, who was a terrible team mate. And Prost was disciplined, and put the time in on the track in testing, and in meetings with the technical people. If I owned a team I would want Prost as my #1 driver. He wasn't perfect, and Frenchies can be difficult, but what a driver. Senna learned a lot from him.
Cool and what has this to do with the great Niki Lauda?
One of most courageous men in motor sports!!! I can hardly wait to the movie "Rush." Niki came out of retirement in the early 1980s to race again because medical bills are piling up and his airline business has difficulty keeping afloat.
I agree. Keep in mind that these are superficial F1 fans. They are still around today for the current F1. The true F1 fans that study the details of the sport will tell U that Prost was something special. U would think the die hard Ayrton Senna fans would do a little research on Prost and why Ayrton feared him so much.
I just noticed something, look at 1:14, you see lauda's helmet? Doesn't it have exactly the same color as Michael Schumacer's helmet? Does anybody know if that is the reason why Schumacher chose that color? I never knew much about lauda and this is the first time I saw him with that helmet, maybe it is a common fact that shumi's helmet is a dedication to Lauda and I am just being incredibly ignorant :D
Gordon Murray remember this guy, mayby the best ever niki. mr marray you are looking the wrong places.
Do a search on TH-cam "Champions forever" A great F1 documentary from the 70's
a fantastic driver, my fav of all time
Compare with Hunt, he ( Lauda ) is a real tactical genius behind the wheels.
where is this from?? is it a tv only thing? is it longer ?
@Zobzon69 thanks. I thought Lauda was a German but I found out he is a Austrian so that wouldn\t have made sense to begin with. But thanks anyway :)
F1 cars are definitely faster around F1 courses. But on a long straight I think the leMans cars are faster. The old Can Am cars were pretty fast too. Porsche 917-30 turbo flat 12 for instance.
is a big man
Nice list. U forgot some. What about Emo, Peterson, Rodriquez, Depailler, Cevert, Piquet, M. Andretti, A. Jones, Arnoux, Hunt, Scheckter on and on..... The truth is there has been lots of great drivers in F1 some successful and some not so much. A list for me is hard. It would be too long. My short one is Senna, Prost, Schumi. Are U Italian by any chance?
One more thing my favorite driver of all time is Ayrton Senna.
I think Prost studied his craft, and therefor came to conclusions on how to handle the engine and the cars. Senna was pure, raw talent on a different level than anyone ever. 1) Senna 2) Fangio 3) Prost 4) Clark 5) Lauda 6) Stewart 7) Villenueve 8) Schumacher 9) Mansell 10) Assorted Italian drivers over the years.
Great man no bullshit says it how it is
Yes cannot forget about G. Hill. Yank cool. Same here.
Was the young boy Mathias Lauda?
@donkeyjegg Yeah I think you finally get it.
What a human!!
we need formula 1 races in the bay
@donkeyjegg Who was I correcting? So back at you.
Graham Hill.
He made have looked like a rat when he was young, but he is one of the best looking blokes alive now for his age!
hi
Aren't you dead?!
No, Emmet. The other one, Carl.
Murray Walker's high talking in exciting moments was unlistenable. David Hobbs was better. Not a panty soiler. Oh yeah, Hobbs actualy raced in F5000, CanAm, and F1.
Accessible is right! left turn only! Now thats funny. Could it be possible that a LeMans car can do a lap faster at Monza for example. Can it beat a 1:21.962 Q3 2010 F. Alonso? I really don't know cause I don't watch LeMans.
The Under-respected F1 driver ... all this struggle he´d been through ..... if he would n t have won the championship 3 times ... maybe he still would sit on his ass full of Dept not getting it paid off
N James hunt to
@donkeyjegg Why would I be happy?
Lauda's memory of 75 is wrong. Hunt finished 4th when he needed 3rd. He won by 2 points.
@donkeyjegg Actually I'm 29 a year older than you.
Prost was a great driver, but i dont wanna se a pilot preserving his tyres and doing all the "outside track Politics", as a brazilian and i have to say SOME PILOTS WON MORE RACES THAN SENNA, BUT NOBODY NEVER WILL WIN A RACE LIKE HIM DID!
F1 would never go for it. Too busy making money.
Murray Walker is ok but his high talking old lady voice , in exciting moments, was insufferable. I'm glad David Hobbs was an F1 announcer here in the states. Alpha Romeo is always a mistake in racing, except if it's your first break.
I am sure he had more and the better girls than you...
Are you a child?
"Prost out qualified me because he can handle the boost better". No, Prost was quicker in qualifying and in race, Lauda got lucky.
robertoppenheimer Prost was young and Lauda was an old man by then!
