That was just perfect. Nailed it completely. However Daniel uses more gestures and head nods (also in his role as Baron Zemo in Marvel Universe) whilst the real Lauda is more calm and moves less.
@ryo ga they didn't have turbos at the time, so zero boost. And actually, that would help in letting it go faster. And yeah, each cylinder is quite a bit smaller than your typical cylinder displacement. All of that, plus having really really good engineering and just being hella precise. Those engines were tiny compared to how much power they can make.
@ryo ga nah the limits are 14.500 cuz of the rods ska crank shaft back in the days 12.500 was ths holy range to keep it healty not overheating it was natural asprated engines, with open valves basicily it was a bomb on wheels, we have bike engines that rev up to 18k, but this is only for short period of time,
I think people underestimate the achievement of winning two more titles after that crash in Germany. To even finish the season was so incredibly brave. One of the greatest drivers the world has ever seen.
I laughed so hard....”Grandma says it’s a bomb on four wheels” lol!!! Niki Lauda is by far my favorite F1 driver EVER. He was so focused, dedicated, and pushed himself to excellence. He truly emulated what F1 is all about!
This video is pure Gold and here you can see how mechanical Lauda was as a driver. Those who understand the machines well are usually the best drivers. RIP F1 Legend.
I don’t understand of what he’s saying but he’s so matter of fact the way he says it Heat sensor installed for fire extinguisher after Nürburgring The accident that nearly left you dead.. Niki you were a hero
Cmon. Bruhl portrayed Lauda as some socially über--awkward damn serious autist Niki NEVER was. The real Niki Lauda was funny and easygoing and got very well along with James Hunt from their F3 days onward. They were the best pals in F1 and the rivalrity was NOT such an angry and bitter one, like in the movie.
Cool stuff! You really hear of his almost commanding tone about serious commitment to racing. No wonder he is one of the best drivers ever. Specially on technical note maybe the best of all.
How can anyone dislike this guy, seriously his stoic no-nonsense mindset and his very dry humor sense, his insane professionalism.... no wonder why everybody admired him back then and guys like Hunt always wanted to be close to him, even when they were so different, this guy is what a race driver should be, and that was true back then and today in the same way
Exactly! That is why Dr. Marko was one of his best friends ever. (Not only on track - same mindset) They think the "same" and try always to say the clear, direct truth. You may like this kind of personality, or not. (Me as an Austrian appreciate it) As M.V. is thinking the same way. Otherwise he would never came along with Marko this long time.
I used to ofren fantasize about how it feels to drive these old racing machine like LM cars or old rally cars, I would really like to know that feeling, but not these old formulas. Those guys had to be utter utter maniacs to climb into these fragile bombs and pushed it hard. You really had to have some guts to race these fast coffins.
F1 today is relatively safe but those 1970s cars were the grim reaper on wheels. The bravery of those boys was off the scale and Niki was the bravest of the brave.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS TRUE. I'm just confused and my jaws are dropped. I just watched Rush for the first time (which is a shame, i should have watched it first than Ford V Ferrari). It feels like this is Daniel Bruhl in 2012 and the camera is just different lol.
That's true, I feel like Vettel was the very last of his kind. The type of driver that knows the car just as well as the engineers. Nothing against the new generation of drivers or modern F1 in general but I feel most of them are just there to drive the car and let their engineers tell them what to do
Cmon. Bruhl portrayed Lauda as some socially über--awkward damn serious autist Niki NEVER was. The real Niki Lauda was funny and easygoing and got very well along with James Hunt from their F3 days onward. They were the best pals in F1 and the rivalrity was NOT such an angry and bitter one, like in the movie.
0:23 Definitely only fitted for a precise man like Lauda. I'd certainly would constantly hit it accidentally a couple of times because I'm a person that loves to fiddle with my thumbs and rest them in the middle when driving. (In the hypothetical scenario that I would have been an F1 driver of Lauda's caliber in that time).
"So in other words, you're driving around in a bathtub full of gas that has 500 hp and goes 300+ km/h." "Yeah, but hey, it has an automatic fire extinguisher!"
this might seem a stupid question, but can someone explain why he has to brake at an angle with his heel on the accelerator. Something to do with the transmission, but i’m not a great mechanic haha.
The transmission doesn't have synchronizers. Synchronizers help smooth out a gear change by matching the speed of the engine and to the speed of the desired grear. If the transmission doesn't have synchronizers, the driver will blip the throttle to bring the engine speed closer to what is needed for the lower gear. This can be done in any manual transmission car, and will extend the life of the transmission, but it is especially needed if the transmission doesn't have synchros.
In racing you do it with any manual transmission but it's absolutely required if you don't have synchros. When you shift down the engine rpm will always increase, the engine will resist increasing rpm and when racing at already high rpms this can be enough to lock up the driven tires, in this case the rears which can cause the car to spin out. The difference in rpm will also prevent shifting at all if your transmission isn't synchronized. Because of this you must bring the engine up to the rpm it will have to be at anyway after the downshift during the time that the clutch is engaged, this way the engine doesn't have to speed up while in gear When shifting down you push the clutch in with your left foot and the brakes with the right but this means that you can't use the throttle. To press all pedals at once you tilt/twist your right foot so you can keep pressing the brakes and clutch while also using the throttle to bring the engine up to the right rpm. This technique is good to use anywhere but a requirement for racing in any manual car or in older road car without synchros. It's called a "heel-toe downshift" and it is a type of rev matching
It is not a rev limit switch. It may be an adjuster to lower the rev limit under certain circumstances (IE: big lead late in race and you want to preserve the engine and/or fuel. There was no pit lane speed limit or safety car periods in those days so it isn't for pit speed etc.
Simply not true. It's predecessor (the B3) was a nearly five year old design heavily adapted and modified by multiple designers. In it's earlier guises, the 312B won several races (ten, as I recall, in an era where there were typically 14 or 15 each year). If it were all down to Lauda, he would have beaten his teammate (Regazzoni) in 1974. He did not. In the precursor to the 312T, Regazzoni finished second in the world championship some 14 points ahead of Lauda (and just three points shy of Fittipaldi, the eventual world champion). Lauda was an excellent development and race driver, but to suggest the success of the 312T series was all down to him is ludicrous. Mauro Forghieri designed both the original 312s and 312Ts. It was the work of he and his team that made this car the world beater it was (and from 75-79, it won three championships and should have won a fourth had it not been for Lauda's accident(s) at the Nurburgring).
@@jeelsvealnerve1163 Forghieri designed the 312B3 and B4 with the same concepts he had used for the 312 PB endurance car. The large and inclined surface of the bodywork of the World Endurance car achieved greater downforce than the Formula One car which was equipped with the same 3-litre 12-cylinder "flat" engine.
Back when F1 race cars were race cars.... nothing fancy just straight up barebones race cars with a few gauges. No sega gamegear style stearing wheels. Back when legends like Niki literally reacted to how the car was performing based off of his body in contact with the car and becoming one with the car lol.. no computer aided systems. Gear shifters actually on the right hand side too and you literally had to take your hand off of the steering wheel to shift gears lol. Now the paddle shifters are on the steering wheel. I wonder how the current champs like Lewis Hamilton would do if he raced in this era of F1 with legends like John Watson, James Hunt, Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda.. guys who were literally willing to kill themselves and push their machines to the limit just to win.
Well you can actually find footage of I think Senna’s onboard from Monaco in 1987 and most of the time his right hand is off the wheel. ruclips.net/video/sAbAK7Kwq6o/видео.htmlsi=rfAW01RmQmJfaNtk Tbh I think a lot of current drivers would be fine with a manual gearbox, especially experienced drivers like Hamilton and Alonso. Maybe Carlos Sainz might do well with rallying in his DNA.
It is sad how he talks about the fire extinguisher button and that if he wont press it there is a sensor to activate it automatically, yet later he will end up completely burned by an accident
Yes indeed is sad, it would have definitely helped him (at least it would have decreased the flames power). However in 1978 the automatic fire extinguisher didnt help Ronnie Peterson at all...
back when race cars were real machines very little if any electronics to make the car easier to drive,,,and manual shifters,,no exotic computer designed aero,,,and all that steel,no carbon fiber to obsorb impacts,,,,,these guys had balls,safety was'nt in the the house back in those days,can you imagine at any f1 race back then,,there was a very good chance someone could die,the only racing today that i feel like that someone could die when i am watching is indycars on high speed ovals
Something this surely shows is that Daniel Bruhl imitated his voice perfectly in Rush.
I so totally agree
Yes
Yeah I noticed this it’s incredible
Yeahhh i think so👍👍
That was just perfect. Nailed it completely. However Daniel uses more gestures and head nods (also in his role as Baron Zemo in Marvel Universe) whilst the real Lauda is more calm and moves less.
"Maximum is 12.500 RPM. Get to 12.600, you break the engine - if you only get up to 12.400 you're to slow"
What an absolute legend.
@homie beaglePG no they don't actually, they have a limit to 15, but manufacturers don't push it that far, they still stay around the 12k mark
@ryo ga what do you mean, I really don't get what you asked
@ryo ga at one point they did have 18k rpm engines, I guess those were v10s so, yeah, 20k could be possible
@ryo ga they didn't have turbos at the time, so zero boost. And actually, that would help in letting it go faster. And yeah, each cylinder is quite a bit smaller than your typical cylinder displacement. All of that, plus having really really good engineering and just being hella precise.

“A fine racing car that fulfills its function completely.”
If that’s not the most Niki response I’ve ever heard
that is what I thought
And then he won the title in that car. What a legend 😂
I think people underestimate the achievement of winning two more titles after that crash in Germany. To even finish the season was so incredibly brave. One of the greatest drivers the world has ever seen.
I laughed so hard....”Grandma says it’s a bomb on four wheels” lol!!! Niki Lauda is by far my favorite F1 driver EVER. He was so focused, dedicated, and pushed himself to excellence. He truly emulated what F1 is all about!
same here
Always funny as hell
One of the best racing minds ever to grace the track. RIP Niki.
Reborn in builder buddies

RIP F1 Legend.
wait daniel bruhl sound exactly like his voice
Ikr
Bruhl English was horrible compared to Lauda`s fluent one.
pretty close 🫡
What a masterpiece this deserves way more views, thanks for uploading
That's amazing. Looks like it was recorded yesterday...
I don’t understand of what he’s saying but he’s so matter of fact the way he says it
Heat sensor installed for fire extinguisher after Nürburgring
The accident that nearly left you dead.. Niki you were a hero
Omg that gearbox ❤️
"If you go under 12,500, you are too slow."
i bet the Astons this year is definitely hitting under 12,500 Niki.
Woah I thought I was hearing Daniel Bruhl. So daniel really did well with the accent and voice portraying Lauda.
Bruhl English was horrible compared to Lauda`s fluent one.
What the hell? Daniel played him perfectly!!!
Cmon. Bruhl portrayed Lauda as some socially über--awkward damn serious autist Niki NEVER was.

He’s observing and talking about the car like he’s known it for years that’s how you know you have a amazing driver in you’re car
I loved this clip instantly. Pozdro666
0:24 I watched him saying the gear levels a hundred times hahahha
Cool stuff! You really hear of his almost commanding tone about serious commitment to racing. No wonder he is one of the best drivers ever. Specially on technical note maybe the best of all.
"Is this a car or a bomb on four wheels?"
*........starts up the engine
Such a delight for someone totally nuts about 70s F1. Danke schon !
How can anyone dislike this guy, seriously his stoic no-nonsense mindset and his very dry humor sense, his insane professionalism.... no wonder why everybody admired him back then and guys like Hunt always wanted to be close to him, even when they were so different, this guy is what a race driver should be, and that was true back then and today in the same way
Exactly!
That is why Dr. Marko was one of his best friends ever. (Not only on track - same mindset)
They think the "same" and try always to say the clear, direct truth.
You may like this kind of personality, or not. (Me as an Austrian appreciate it)
As M.V. is thinking the same way. Otherwise he would never came along with Marko this long time.
They weren`t different at all. Both were funny and easygoing guys. The movie portrayed Lauda totally wrong.
Love Lauda's no nonsense approach to everything. Never seen this clip before. FANTASTIC insight to 1970's F1
Wow! A master course from the maestro himself. Amazing.
This was the KING FOREVER !!
I bet Niki is shouting back then when he can only go 12,499 RPM
RIP Legend
I used to ofren fantasize about how it feels to drive these old racing machine like LM cars or old rally cars, I would really like to know that feeling, but not these old formulas. Those guys had to be utter utter maniacs to climb into these fragile bombs and pushed it hard. You really had to have some guts to race these fast coffins.
that last line goes so hard. rip niki
You gotta love Niki.
Legends
F1 today is relatively safe but those 1970s cars were the grim reaper on wheels. The bravery of those boys was off the scale and Niki was the bravest of the brave.
O mais corajoso de todos!!
I CANT BELIEVE THIS TRUE. I'm just confused and my jaws are dropped. I just watched Rush for the first time (which is a shame, i should have watched it first than Ford V Ferrari). It feels like this is Daniel Bruhl in 2012 and the camera is just different lol.
Why the hell have I never seen this before. Legendary!
Grandmothers: 💣💣💣
Niki Lauda: Shut your faces! Fulfill your function!
Crazy how times have changed and evolved, 12 cylinder for just 500 bhp
3000cc NA engine making 500hp, i.e. 166hp per liter, is still impressive today dude
Blimey, 12,500 rpm for 1977 is might impresive!
No Fear!!! #legend
They don't make 'em like Niki anymore.
That's true, I feel like Vettel was the very last of his kind. The type of driver that knows the car just as well as the engineers. Nothing against the new generation of drivers or modern F1 in general but I feel most of them are just there to drive the car and let their engineers tell them what to do
Legend driver
Holy shit Daniel Bruhl imitated nikis voice so well

i think this is the best video here in youtube that i have ever seen
❤️
I didn't understand a damn what he said, but it sounds interesting :)
12.500 is the max.
if you go over that the engine is dead
You go under 12.500 you are too slow
Rip legend.
I like the Austrian accent
NIKI！
A bomb with 4 wheels
What a video...
Lets do F1 like this again!
This is what 2026 F1 regulations should look like 👍🏻
0:23 Definitely only fitted for a precise man like Lauda. I'd certainly would constantly hit it accidentally a couple of times because I'm a person that loves to fiddle with my thumbs and rest them in the middle when driving.
(In the hypothetical scenario that I would have been an F1 driver of Lauda's caliber in that time).
We lost a great one #DankeNiki
Daniel Bruhl sounds just like him lol
What watch is he wearing?
"So in other words, you're driving around in a bathtub full of gas that has 500 hp and goes 300+ km/h."
"Yeah, but hey, it has an automatic fire extinguisher!"
this is so meme-mable, i can;t believe F1 meme makers didn't made a sigma grindset meme on this one
Is he comfortable on the car
How it should be 0 dislikes for niki
this might seem a stupid question, but can someone explain why he has to brake at an angle with his heel on the accelerator. Something to do with the transmission, but i’m not a great mechanic haha.
Look up 'heel and toe' shifting
The transmission doesn't have synchronizers. Synchronizers help smooth out a gear change by matching the speed of the engine and to the speed of the desired grear.

It's called a "heel-toe downshift" and it is a type of rev matching
Did anyone else find the fact that there is is switch to turn the rev limiter on / off strange? Why would you want it off? (1:26)
I think it’s a limiter for lower revs, maybe for driving the car at lower speeds in pit lane, who knows
It is not a rev limit switch. It may be an adjuster to lower the rev limit under certain circumstances (IE: big lead late in race and you want to preserve the engine and/or fuel. There was no pit lane speed limit or safety car periods in those days so it isn't for pit speed etc.
Pensar que era el mas cuerdo de todos.
RIP
Bring him a second pair of shades.

Nurburgring
What a Death Trap!
What a BEAUTIFUL deathtrap you mean.
That’s not a Ferrari. Without lauda and his addition to the team they would have never won shit those years. It’s the Lauda 312T
