The moments in Niki Lauda's career which created the F1 legend ❤️ For more F1® videos, visit www.Formula1.com Follow F1®: / f1 / formula1 / f1 / formula1 / f1 #F1
Honorable mention: Singapore 2012, where he had the guts to ask Hamilton (who was on pole that race) to jump ship from title-contending McLaren to the midfield Mercedes team. Before the race, Hamilton essentially told Niki he was out of his mind, since Lewis was fresh off of wins in Hungary and Italy, and good chances at victory in Singapore. But following the DNF Niki was praying for, Hamilton was persuaded to join Mercedes the following season. 63 wins and 5 world titles later, none of Hamilton’s success since 2014 would have been possible without Niki.
I cried my eyes out! I was a 10 year-old Hunt fan, but a great admirer of Lauda. Seeing him at the race at all moved me beyond belief. Seeing him after the race ... I cried so hard for him. He must have been in agony! A true hero for the ages.
It's not an uncommon thing. Prost and Senna were actually really good friends, and also Hakinnen and Schumacher. They're sportsmen, they love it when someone manages to challenge them fairly. They share the same passion, the same talent, and it's easy for a bond to form
@@noahabell4087 Can agree with that statement. None of the rivals that are present today on the grid show the love and incouragement that was present back 20 years ago or even 15. Today they seem like complete strangers to one each other, except for team members, it's sad tbh. Just look the way Niki was close to Prost even tho he won for half a point. I don't recall such a thing when Hamilton "stole" the championship to Massa in 2008, he just walk back to the pits with a smile on his face and acted like nothing happened. Massa was alone in the podium basically.
@@yur1831 Hamilton is the single reason why I totally stopped watching Formula 1 after 30 years, well apart from the fact that Formula E is much better!
I haven't seen many Ron Howard movies, by that one is an absolute gem! ... I don't know why, but I seem to really like movie based on moments of incredibleness that happened in sporting history. (I know 'incredibleness' is not a real word.)
- I remember in 2012 I was at my home in Monaco when Niki called me. Before, we didn't really have contact with each other. He told me I should join Mercedes, that this is where I belong. It was the first time we started talking about it, ”admitted Hamilton. - I have always said that Ross [Brawn] had a decisive influence on my joining Mercedes. He explained the team's work to me and outlined a plan for Silver Arrows. I believed in this vision. Niki, however, was the person who presented me with this opportunity. He was my supporter for all the years. In all negotiations, in pressure to develop the car. He was a flesh and blood racing driver, ”added Hamilton
He refused to die at the Nürburgring and earned himself another 43 years (and two titles) in return. He passed on with nothing left to prove. Now he is immortalised.
@@filmandfirearms While Hunt wasn't burned alive, his in-bed championship titles with 5000 women certainly made his cardiac arrest came a lot damn quicker 😂
IMO Lauda is sooo underrated. When we're talking about the greatest f1 drivers ever everyone says Fangio, Schumacher, Senna, etc. but no one says Lauda :(
It's just unbelievable what Lauda went through, and continued to race. Literally almost dying, and having his face and body burnt badly, he continued. Not just that, but he came back the same season to contend for the title!
Growing up in the 90s, watching Niki as expert on german television it is easy to forget that he is one of the best drivers who ever graced the face of the earth. Not only winning 3 WDCs in F1 but also winning the 24h race at the Nordschleife.
I was such a huge Lauda fan as a kid, I first saw him at the Long Beach Grand Prix in 1977. I was there in 1982 but had a migraine and had to leave early and missed his win. I never saw him race again.
Fun fact: Dale Earnhardt Sr was a big Niki Lauda fan. He also found out (on his team radio at 200mph) that Ayrton Senna died and as soon as he climbed out of the car in victory lane he gave his condolences to Senna on live tv
It's still quite hard to know he's dead - I grew up in the early 2000s with him on German television joking around with the F1 tv hosts and being the expert, plus his humor and the way he judged different incidents etc., truly one of a kind.
You were and will always be one of the greatest personalities of our small country and I am proud that I was privileged to be able to see you live on the track at the Legends Parade in Spielberg 2014. Danke Niki, für immer in unseren Herzen!❤️
9:58 "taking the lead from team mate, Jody Scheckter" Umm, wasn't Lauda's team mate that season is Reutemann? Because Jody was running the single entrant for Walter Wolf Racing.
Yeah all year. Lauda even never drove last 2 races that year as he was already early champion. Gilles V. drove race 16/17 of the season next to Reutemann.
What a legend. Despite being a guy who said he had no friends he was worshipped and loved by many. I have many fond memories of my life long F1 addiction due to Lauda and Piquet...
I miss him so much. I grew up with him as an TV expert for german television. A part of my childhood belongs to this man. May he RIP and win many GP's in heaven.
niki lauda was a true legend never to be forgotten, niki was, is and always be one of the best f1 drivers, recovering from a crash like that something only niki could do🙏❤️
What a legend. He was my absolute idol growing up, I would tel his story of courage to anyone that would listen. Loved watching F1 with my father on Sunday morning!
Nicky Lauda must be the most inspirational ever in F1. Not only was he a great driver who overcame the injuries of a horrific accident, he was an intellectual who understood exactly how his car and his opponents minds worked. He succeeded in everything he did and left this world with the most incredible legacy.
RIP Niki Lauda. One of the all time greats. First knew of him in 2002 when my uncle had a CD filled with old formula 1 throwback races. He's one of the reasons that I'm still a big f1 fan to this day.
Niki's "teammate" at Ferrari in 1977 was Lole (Carlos Reutemann) not Jody Scheckter. Lauda was asked if he considered Reutemann a teammate or a rival and Niki famously replied "Neither."
Niki mechanical genius, surgical driver, dedication unrivalled. And still man enough to say no when his principles were lower than the risk to race. When you said no it’s to dangerous that showed a man standing by his principles. That showed a true champion and leader of the sport.

Tis but a scratch...
@@awepen1596 great quote 😉
of course Niki would never use babyish non-words like 'Aight' and 'imma'. He had more class. RIP Legend.

It is all nothing for your consideration....
Did i get it right...
Get in there Niki!!!
4:43 Lauda,Prost and Senna on the podium.
Could be one of the most greatest podiums back in the day.
I was about to say the same, yes.
They need to rewind this race
@@lucasrabelo9427 Looks like you predicted the future, they're doing that later today.
I would say one the greatest podiums EVER! 3 legends together.
not back in the day. possibly the greatest ever. maybe only surpassed by Prost Senna Schumacher. But IMO Niki was better than Schui

WOW.
Darin Martin It´s not Mercedes or Hamiltons fault. The other teams are just not good enough at the moment.
@@leonrutzel2934 This is 💯 correct they deserve all the success
@Darin Martin since Senna death, nothing is the same.
Lauda's story on winning his home GP, seems familiar with Senna's
Two big heroes
No, Senna's story on winning his home GP seems familiar with Lauda's
You from Indonesia?
@@mukeo918 haha yeah true that's the correct logic
@@khalil5887 yeah... I guess....
His return to Monza in 1976 is the greatest sporting comeback of all time, across all sports.
well I don't know - research Mario Lemieux, its a close one in my opinion...

@@Chess1462 that Mario Lemieux story is very unique in my opionon too, in term of return and his overall deeds in sport and outside.

Exactly..
Thanks lauda
The fact that he managed to keep his friendship with his greatest rival still manages to elude me.

I still find it hard to believe that such a legend had to die. He will forever be remembered.
Requiescat in pace, Andreas Nikolaus Lauda!
He refused to die at the Nürburgring and earned himself another 43 years (and two titles) in return. He passed on with nothing left to prove. Now he is immortalised.
And his life has probably been cut shorter because of the permanent consequences of his '76 crash...
No one is dead while their name is still spoken, RIP and GNU Niki Lauda.
@@TenorCantusFirmus Ironically, his championship rival that year, Hunt, who crucially wasn't burned alive, died in 1993. Lauda lived on to 2019

Best in history for me. An inspiration for everybody
4 time world champion for me
I am a Schumi fan but I can see why you like him, for sure one of the greatest
Also the best there is for me... Could have won more titles had he not decided to both retire a bit (and leave Ferrari after 1977)
One of the best for me, and also one of my all time favorites.

R.I.P Niki Lauda. 1949-2019 ❤️
I think my favorite thing about his driving is he doesn't make excuses when he makes mistakes. He's brutally honest about himself.
One of the most iconic pilots of all times. Made of steel, forged with fire...
RIP Niki ❤️ one of the true greats of F1
