Rest in peace, Niki Lauda, sleep tight up there champ❤️🇦🇹
Yes. I'm sure he's telling great stories where ever he is now.
He’ll be having a drink with James, no doubt!
nah man hes racing at the big racetrack in the sky 🏎🏎🏎
🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
What a film as well.. that Niki wished that James could have seen it
Ah man it's so weird. He looks so much like his father. It's almost like James never aged a day
+6.eggs.
it's like seeing a ghost , he looks just like his dad
+6.eggs. True. And what a great man is Lauda. Paid a tribute in the Rush movie and put Hunt on the map again.
and sounds like him
And they have zero charisma because they've been bottoled up their entire lives.

Niki is so gracious, explaining how 'James got his act together.... thats why he became world champion', not his accident, not his Japanese gp retirement. Niki seems like a really good man with a good heart underneath the almost intimidating speed at which his brain functions - even as he gets old.
As the older statesman he's been great with the young drivers. Really great.
Strongly suspect he's given Mercedes a lot of crap about strategy the last few years. Wolff hints at, to his credit has probably said "Damn Niki was right" a fair few times.
Part of the reason Mercedes so strong now is this young team realised a lot of what the old bugger said still applies.
RIP Niki a great Ambassador for racing, and ethics.
Exactly! Very gracious of him to say that about Hunt.
Nicola C-R and surviving. He’s a great tough survivor, which sometimes is all you can do in this life. President Trump would call him a WINNER, which he was, one of the greatest!
Very humble!!!
Lauda is a legend.
Truly a legend, no bullshit, no drama, no fuss, just Lauda.
Philip Koen Amen.
krono terria Lauda and Schuhmacher, the 2 biggest Legends in formula 1 which are never forgotten
you forgot senna
Lauda is a fucking asshole
Wonder if niki feels weird sitting by him, seeing a bit of james again.
Nah, he seems interested and excited to talk to him.
McMuffinFluffin Awwwwww
He must be soo happy... Seeing the other half of james
i think Niki his glad to see someone like his old friend
Looks identical, attitude and all. But they were respectful competitors at the time. I figure Niki enjoyed this
I just realised, how well Niki Lauda was played in Rush
When he found out Daniel Brühl would be playing him, he invited him to spend time together, which really helped to learn all the mannerisms and speech patterns. It definitely paid off!
@@borismuller86 But the first Niki say was "A german should play me he cant". Afterwards Niki was enthusiastic about Daniel Brühl
Daniel Bruhl really got that voice right
Indeed, whenever they make the Lewis Hamilton movie Daniel should return to play Nikki
The way he doesnt attribute his crash to Hunt winning in 76 is legendary
Maybe bc he knew that he could have still won it but decided to retire in the last race of that season.
Rush brought me her and got me interested in F1
same
+Irrational Man that's good, F has such an amazing history and is a great sport.
+Irrational Man Senna movie did the same to me,
f1 is amazing man. good job
Watch F1 from mid 2000s and before.Today's F1 sucks.
the accent was spot on in the movie. amazing portrayal.
my absolute favorite movie. not even a huge F1 fan.
Well the actor is german so not surprised
DimplyBuffalo 51 the actor went to vienna to learn austrian acent.
Peak Angle germans dont have that accent it was insane how good he acted
my fav movie too
SOR_Lakitu I think it was Daniel bruhl
I could listen to Niki for hours. Today it really hit me that he's not around anymore. What a great and lovely person. Thank you Niki for all the memories since my childhood starting in the '70s, you were a champion both on and off the track.
Hearing Niki Lauda is listening to pure wisdom and the real truth coming out, with grace !
sounds quite German lol
aahh he is so much like his dad..The voice and the eyes!
You should look at his other son, Tom. He's just a copy of James.
Freddie looks just like his father. almost exactly. O_o
OwO
Could they be related or something??
The guy who plays nikki looks exactly like him as well, it's crazy how much he looks like him.
@@AdBul_ Impossible! They may look similar but no WAY is Freddie related to James. I'd be mind-blown if he was James' SON!
@@versthappening8768 but he is,just Google it
Freddie: It was a pleasure finally talk to you
Niki: we did talk in Abu Dhabi
Freddie: yeah but I wasn't conscious
Niki: yeah like dad, like dad
Edit: Race in Peace Niki
His son is cool. Not easy being the son of a legend but he's doing a good job!
Both very nice Niki and Freddie
Niki*
Hahahahaha......Too True!....
I almost missed that, lol.
Niki: "Like dad..."...What did you do Freddieeeeee......
Niki Lauda will be really missed. He was such a great part of this sport's history
What a nice interview, you can tell the respect that Nicki had for James, and contrary to what most people believe off the track they were actually good friends, especially after James retired and became a commentator, James Hunt is one of my all-time heroes..
edward harris not only respect, I always saw some kind of admiration between them too.
true also with Prost and Senna
Lauda and Hunt were both ball busters in their day.
Different people, yet equal in their game, RESPECT !!!!
james and nicki two guys that lived opposite ends of life.different characters but thats what F1 needs and is in desperate need today also.everybody in motor sport after a crash like nicki lauda had would RETIRE without doubt this man came back and continued in the same way.Respect Nicki top man top driver
+Marty B Hamilton and Rosberg are opposites !! lol
neither have been through the same trauma that nicki lauda went through they don'y even come close
Marty B So why does Nikki Lauda praise Lewis so much?
lewis hamilton is a good driver.But would he get back into a racing car and risk his life AGAIN! so soon after having such an horrific trauma such as the one nicki lauda had.My feeling is he would never sit in another race car again.
Marty B So you'd like to see F1 drivers getting burnt, hurt and killed to make it more interesting? Good luck with that one. It's tragic what happened to Nikki, but luckily for him, he is made of tougher stuff.
Rest in peace nikki. F1 will never be the same without you.
R.I.P Niki, Now You And James Are Racing In Peace🏎❤
Rest In Peace Niki now you can race with james again in paradise❤️❤️
It's amazing how much Daniel Bruhl looks like Niki in the film
When I saw Niki handshaking Hunt's son on the pit I instantly saw James in him, and the old rivarly from the 70s.. great stuff! Also R.I.P Jules.
Lauda had a very weird kind of fondness regarding James Hunt, I feel. Just like maybe calling him an arsehole but in a fond way haha. Great rivals these two.
Nikki Lauda is always on point. He doesn't satisfy anyone with his words
Oh my giddy aunt. Close your eyes..Freddie sounds so like James! That must have been so amazing for Niki to hear that voice.
It would be soo badass to see niki's son and james hunt's son racing :D
They will as teammates in the NASCAR Euro Series
+Denis Rahardja Freddie Hunt and Mathias Lauda do race in NASCAR Euro Series but they are in different divisions sadly enough. That's the information I got from the internet, maybe they do race together but I have no idea how that NASCAR shit works
vurguncan315 like Ayrton Senna's nephew and Alain Prost's son in formula E.
Nikola Mladenoff I’m American so I can tell you. Trucks to Xfinity and cup.
@@jgonascar time flies
Love this video . Great to see Freddie doesn't like socks either . Dad would be proud .
ian and harry collins 😂😂
Freddie: What was it like meeting my dad?
Niki: Well, he was a massive twat.
CookProductions1 😂😂
He was an asshole.
According to the stories they were both assholes back in the day, lol. Legendary though.
loool
I named my son Nicholas because of Nikki Lauder, and to this day 33 years later he loves his cars and motorcycles, inspirational!
They had a real honest respect for each other. They both knew they could die any time. different era. Gladiators. Have always held them both with the highest regard.
RIP Niki
You will forever be in our hearts
There was so much fondness and liking for each other with Niki and James.
What a treat it must have been for Freddy to learn more of his dad from Nicki... For me Nicki was was the unofficial gentleman of F1. Our deepest condolences to Lauder family and friends. His (and James’) legacy will live on through F1
R.I.P niki lauda and james hunt you two are still racing in our heart
Awesome interview. Now both champions rest in peace in heaven. Viva James and Niki!!
He’s definitely having a beer with hunt in the sky
Man, Daniel Brühl did amazing job playing lauda. The way he speaks, the mannerism the general visual similarity its like its the actual person in the movie
Wonderful meeting/talk ❤
Hahaha like dad like dad
Loved to have seen these two race!
I did, many times..
Legends both of them. James and Niki. Niki and James. R. I. P
@5:19 damn James really look like Chris here! And saw some interviews too.. both had almost same voice and accent is spot on.
this is such a sweet video ❤️
rip niki, sleep tight champ ❤️
Saw him race James up here in NY at Watkins Glen. Niki to me is the greatest technical driver ever....
Say hello to James for me Niki...
Thank you Niki for showing us the success and never back down. Clay Regazzoni and James Hunt are both waiting for you. My condolences goes out to the Lauda family. RIP CHAMP.
It’s so emotional :(
It’s like 1976 again.
More content like this please. This video filled my heart
What makes me really sad is James Hunt never got to see the movie, and I have so much respect for both of those drivers who I feel really threw F1 on the map at that time, they changed the game forever, I wish he could have seen it!
Rest in peace Niki🇦🇹
I miss him. Never met him, but I miss him.
Freddie literally looks like James ❤️
You went out a winner Niki, god bless. RIP.
amazing resemblance , just like his dad 😊
Rip to both of you amazing drivers
RIP Mr Lauda. It would be wonderful if somewhere James Hunt jumped out from behind a cloud today and boomed "Nikki.... Let's have that pint". Two legends again united.
Wow. Amazing how much Freddie looks like his dad. One of the few instances when a son helps to fill the void left by the father because they're so much alike.
Awesome...Lauda & Hunt forever..
Prost vs Senna was another legendary rivalry.
@@jamesalvarado3961 it was but unfortunately it was tainted with the French ruled FIA and cheating as Senna was easily the superior driver, this was a much purer time.
Rest in peace Niki. Sleep tight up there ❤️
If you put Freddie in his father’s racing suit, you would think it was like James rose from the dead.
Very nice from Niki to say that James was really fast and in the second part of '76 season, because it had an improved car he could win the championship. Go Niki! Go Hunt!
Absolute bravery and skill. What a man Niki Lauda was.
MISSING YOU ALREADY NIKI.
MAYBE I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN.
NK was definitely a kind person, an aggressive professional and now a legend of the sport. On the other microphone, Freddie is definitely Hunt! Nice interview. Thank you.
The grace with which Nikki gives the credit to James for being the worthy deserving champion, the best in 76.
I've heard and read him saying the same many times.
Incredible.
The guy missed a chunk of the season and almost died!
But he gives credit to Hunt.
The GREAT Nikki Lauda folks!!
2 legends reunited ❤️ RIP Niki and James
May you rest in peace Niki, gone to soon... I was looking forward to seeing you in the Mercedes garage again...
I remember Freddie and Tom..his brother used to play Scalextric with my 2 boys in their bedroom when we all lived in Milland.. West Sussex they were lovely boys and so was Sarah their mum. sad story really for the lads with both parents no longer with us..
Now Niki and James, can go around the track again, that god built. RIP niki
Rest in peace Nikki. You'll be missed
Rest in peace Niki, god bless a brave man ! 😞
James would be so proud of Freddie.
What a fantastic driver Niki was and his complimenting James goes to prove what a class act F1 driver James Hunt was in turn. Lauda a true giant ! Bless you Niki and RIP James...
Rest in peace, he was a legend.
RIP NIKI you will be missed
Looks and sounds a lot like an uncle telling stories and memories to his beloved nephew.
Will be missed by many a LEGEND god rest your soul and bless you Niki.
Beauiful testimony....
Great fella Lauda... and handsome Hunt Jr
Now finally they can enjoy a drink at HEAVEN'S BAR!!!! Legends... both of them. RIP Niki.
Rest in peace a legend
Great vid! Awesome to hear some of the stories from that era.
Freddie looks just like him. Awesome that they were able to meet and know each other.
This was great. Every fan has to watch this.
Excellent...thank you for this.
The best rivalry in F1's history is now continuing for eternity. RIP Niki, say hi to James for us.

There will NEVER be another like Niki. His passing is something my brain is finding hard to process. Like Senna.
R. I. P. Champ
RIP Niki, legend
I love this man, what a hero.
Niki and James, one of the greatest rivalries in sports history. So much respect between them.
RIP NiKi
Great interview, Lauda Hunt epic season.
Muchos respectos.
Wonderful interview!
he looks a lot like his father in many ways :)
Rest in peace Niki and James ❤️
I can totally understand how rivalries turn into friendships. No greater rivalry than Niki vs James. Two of the greatest sports "rock-stars" of racing. And WOW, did Daniel Brühl totally look just like Niki in that movie. What great men of sport car racing. Love them both. Grew up on, in the 70's, and till now on F1 racing. My hero's! Rest in peace Niki and James.
I think rush is probably my favorite movie of all time and that's saying alot cause how much I love deadpool lol that movie is so powerful
