That is not ugly. That is the face of a warrior. A warrior will never be ugly if they fight the good fight.
Well said.
Warrior lost his fight at the age of 70. Stand strong in heaven Niki! You will always be a hero.
Those are called battlefiled scars :D.
Idk he’s still pretty ugly
Yes!! I agree! Well aged good looking old warrior!
RIP Niki Lauda, truly a legend.

A legend of assholery. Some forgot what he said about Roger Williamson in 1973, when he decided not to stop to help Purley rescue Williamson. Search for it on Google then you will, I am sure, rethink your Statement.
@@laurebourgeois7256 If you expect to people to not change in 46 years, I have no hope or reason to listen to what you say.
And more, there is NO PERSON in this world right now that is perfect.
Everyone makes mistakes all the time, and regret all the time. Niki was a LEGEND.
@@laurebourgeois7256 by the way, you should check this: watch?v=2pvr2Y46JYc
Now it's REALLY EASY to sit your ass and judge something that happened half a century ago without knowing what were his feelings, if he was under pressure when he said that, if he was stressed out, if he ever changed his mind.
In my 20's I worked graveyard shift in a convenience store. One night a guy came in who looked so much worse than Niki. He had no ears, no lips, a piece of his nose, no hair anywhere. He had 80% of his body burned in a horrible house fire and he miraculously lived. He was absolutely unique among all other people I have met in my life. I will never ever forget that man. Not just because of how he looked, but how he spoke so calmly about what happened to him. He was so at peace with his situation. He was really friendly and outgoing, and when he came to the counter to pay for his items, he just started telling me his story. I guess that's a mechanism he developed for getting through life. He knows everyone who sees him immediately knows he had something terrible happen to him and every single person is wondering what happened. So I guess he just decided to tell people as soon as he meets them, even if they don't ask. I chatted with him for maybe 10 or 15 minutes. It's been 20 years and I still think about that guy sometimes.
I used to see a horribly disfigured man in a 7/11 years ago. Only late at night. I always thought that he tried to avoid people.
Far out.
Very similar story here. I met a guy on a train from Denver to Chicago about 20 years ago who had been severely burned in an oil rig fire and it was the same kind of thing. We sat in the smoking car for most of the time and talked and told me about his experience and his outlook on life- he was incredibly positive and reaffirming. I still think about him from time to time. Funny how those people appear briefly, but stick with us.
He had met the Lord Jesus Christ, that's why he was so in peace
@@soudeJesus0812 I don't know but I hope so.
His self-confidence is by far the most inspiring thing of him.
R.I.P. Niki...
Well, underlying negativity?? Why focus on your own and other's (allegeged/subjective) uglyness. He's more than a face, and so is every one else, btw., this one's actually quite cute from the nose down - where it counts, right?
@@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892 where did I focus on his face? He never had it easy, even before the crash
I'm a burn victim. Not of my face but my arm/hand. I will never forget the time a girl I knew looked at my arm for the first time, made a face of disgust, and said "eww". That's just one of the things that will probably haunt me until the day I die. Thanks for sharing your experiences Niki, it educates many people.
No, don't let that haunt you forever. That scare you have is of a warrior! Not many people can pass through the tunnel of death/war and live to tell the tale. Just remain beautiful inside, you are beautiful outside already. As for the ingnorants, I pray life never teach them a hard lesson!
Th at is how every women considered ugly feels like when a man looks at her with disgust.
Dont worry that person would be looked at disgusting too, its called karma. I hate when people act superior to others.
If a woman (or guy) says "ewww" to your burn wounds, can you imagine how ugly they are inside? Why would you let the comments of a completely soul less and shallow human being become a living nightmare for you? Why would you put their values above yours? How about the value of that comment? Was it helpful or hurtful? If its the latter, then why let that supercede the value of your own self esteem? Nah. That scrimpy dimpy female needs to learn some strong lessons in life and to be honest, is near darn guaranteed to feel very insecure about her own looks and therefore projects that onto other humans. Gather your strength and rise above that crap.
they are the ugly one because they dont have compassion
He looks fucking bad ass.
routari He IS a badass. He has a strong attitude and he can back it up
routari he was in a bad ass crash too
He is a hero
He is. Awesome dude.
routari ,
What "scar" ?
What "beauty" was he assessing in his current wife outside of the generosity of her kidney for his transplant? ... the way one "looks" > skin deep = more than skin deep, yes?
He doesn't look ugly at all. Minus the ear, he looks completely normal.
This was after many years, first 10 years had to be hell on earth for anyone self esteem. The damage was very visible.
That’s bc it blends in with how old he is so you can’t really tell much but when he was younger oh could definitely tell
Never mind the scares, he is a very good person. Rest In Peace Forever Young Man
It was because of his age
stupid people don't know that
As a reconstructive plastic surgeon, I’m both impressed by the surgical techniques used in 1976 and so glad that reconstructive surgery has come a long way since then. Niki was a legend. I’m so incredibly saddened that he felt ugly.
If niki got his car this day. Could his face come to normal?
@@TunaStrata It wouldn’t be 100% normal, but it’d be much less noticeable and far better than what it was.
@@jasmijnvenner2403 Niki only got the essential things done in purpose. he didnt want to stay longer in the hospital and suffer more unnecessary
Can't think of a more straightforward man.
Clint Eastwood
furyofbongos yeah i like him too. But i cant believe that so many people in austria and germany hate him. They dont want to accept it that he is a pure legend.
They think every one is able to drive a 312T2.
yeah might be. to the point he appears like a primitive caveman. i dont think its something wrong though
Dan Pena lmao
Kimi Raikkonen.
i'm amazed at how well the actor that portrayed him in the movie Rush sounds just like him. he got his speech, tone, inflection, dialect, and mannerisms spot on. decent flick.
Michael Weston Daniel Bruh is a fucking great actor man! You should check out some of his other work. The guys is just good at what he does
Armando Broncas bruhl*
I am Austrian and you hear it instantly from where the people are. And Daniel Brühl convinced me so hard for a german.
Michael Weston I haven't watched the movie on english, but also in the german version the speech-actor of Lauda in the movie.... it's just perfect
Truly great movie
As a burn patient from an incoming rocket in Vietnam I’ll never forgot how I looked. It takes great courage, and great care to return to life. It’s amazing he lived.
Thankyou for your service posey
God Bless You, and Thank You for your Service!!🙏❤️🇺🇸
Welcome home Sir
This guy is not ugly at all. It saddens me that people act ignorant. This guy is a survivor
amazing how he won 2 more championships after the pain
Shadow Fan 1 ;)
@@gremsa 2 boy
And in the process he raises a exceptional "student". That was the moment that Alain become Prost, "the professor". Before met him, he was only alain the fast guy.
Not after the pain but becouse of the pain.,
@@patrykm7342 yeah thats a more suitable statement
I think he looks great
The Snooker Gym actually he looks alright tbh
I think he looks great as well. A very brave man.
Barry McNicholl It's called charisma
It's "just" a scar. After everything he's been through, he should be proud of it - not as a reminder of the accident but the fact that he fought and survived.
Yup, he looks like Niki Lauda. I've seen him like that all my life.
I once flew to Vienna for vacation using Niki Airline. My wife and I found it really funny that they went with this concept all the way since all instructions and even weather infos on the plane were voiced by Niki Lauda himself.
But how would he know the actual current weather situation over the alps? Has he voiced hundreds upon hundreds of weather files to be prepared for every condition?
So it finally dawned on me: The pilot, the guy who‘s flying me and my wife to our honeymoon location was none other than Niki Lauda himself.
And that’s precisely what happened.
He greeted most of the passengers personally when we landed and even took pictures with some and signed tickets and stuff.
What a surreal start to our vacation. What a humble and straight forward strong person this guy was. Truly inspiring what he achieved in life.
RIP Mr Lauda, those scars were testimony of a time when F1 pilots were risking their life on the line at every races.
the man might have passed, but his legend will never die.
Just met him in Vienna when he was bringing his dog to the vet. Surreal... What a legend!
Lucky
I went to his funeral here in Vienna. I was smart enough to get into the Church were i could watch the ceremony. It was very touching. Schwarzenegger, Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Brühl(the guy who played him in the movie) and so many more were there, i couldnt believe my eyes
@@Max-nm9pl How did you manage to get into that church!? LOL
@@yvesm.8855 They let a few people of the public inside the St.Stephans Cathedral to be part of it. Police secured the entrance. I positioned myself right so i could get in. There were only 10 people after me who got in before it was completely locked. The VIP guests were seated before they let the public in. There were about 400 invited people and 50-100 from the public
@@Max-nm9pl Nice! Congratulations for that!
True legend of the sport
yeah I do remember him from my childhood..
He is not a legend he is a mercenery he just wants Monet he doesnt care if Hamilton Wins or not he just wants the money
Diogo Ruas Thats Nonsense, he had Money and was World Champion befor that Crash, Winning was all he wanted, the Cash was just a Bonus. Even after his Accident he was eager to Win specilly against Hunt. They both had a rivalry going on, not for the Money, for the title World Champion and both had them.
Ayrton Senna aksident
Indeed.
That is a face of a man who defied death and defeated it. Such bravery, such skill, such a legend. As a man, I could only dream being half as cool as he ever was.
Don't even notice Niki's looks anymore, but when he was younger it was doubtless more jarring
Daniel Bruhl killed it portraying him in 'Rush'. wow
Andy Gonzalez yes!
I love that movie. I'd love to be a Formula 1 racer just to get girls.
I can't imagine how hard it must be for a German to speak English with an Austrian accent. Brühl was amazing. He couldn't have done any better.
Now it kinda blend in with the aging wrinkles... Pretty decent looking
honestly, gives him more character. I'd rather him look like this than normal, more of a backstory
You wouldnt really notice it if you didn't know his history.
@@heyitskimii id wonder if he feels the same
I'm a burn survivor with some lung damage and the fact that Niki Lauda went back to racing after only six weeks, it's incredible. I'm still recovering after over five years. He was amazing 🏁🏎️🏆🔥💪🏽🙏🏽
His lungs did unfortunately finally fail him at 70. They always knew he'd need a lung transplant eventually, but at 70 that's a tall order so it ended up not working out, sadly.
People used to say he's ugly. For me, he's just beautiful as his career ❤
Rest in Peace Legend. We all love you❤
I was wondering if he had permanent damage too his lungs, but he looks and sounds healthy. And what a great attitude he has.
They had to pump a lot of stuff out of his lungs. I'm certainly not a doctor, but if you can regain the World Championship, in a seventies F1 car, i think it's safe to say his lungs didn't suffer lasting damage
He hase some kidney transplants from his wife and his brother
No. He just smoked about 1000 packs of cigarettes in 5 minutes, but the lungs will heal just like any other part of the body with time.
He has just had a lung transplant.
Doctors confirmed that the lung transplant was not related to the injuries he sustained in '76 though. The transplant was needed after an illness that caused an affection to his lungs. If he didn't fall ill he'd still be having the same lungs that survived the '76 fire.
To me Lauda never looked ugly. When I started to watch F1 as a kid he already had the burned face. To me that was just the the normal Niki Lauda face. On the other hand it was kinda weird when later I saw some pics of him from before the accident.
The same here except that for me he looked a bit old while he was actually just 35 ( in 84 / 85 )
to wake up in that situation must have been terrifying.... so much respect for this man
Hats off for niki lauda. Im also burn victim myself. I was stopping fire from burning house down without proper equipment and had 3 other surgeries, hearing damage/tinnitus from military and after that got clear from drug addiction (opiates like oxycontin) life is not always easy but it doesnt care. So just keep going and try again
True, hard hitting words. God Bless.
Rest in peace Niki. May you continue to race in the afterlife.
He didnt die
He just crossed line in the race of life
@@Mark-uw3hz that's great
@@Mark-uw3hz That's dumb as hell
he was probably trying to race james hunt to heaven.
@@Mark-uw3hz he's a lap ahead of us
he got burns but he isn't ugly lol
I've seen worse looking
Exactly. Greatest comment I've seen in a looong time.
Nunca foi feio.
he got better looking as time went by.
with attitude like that he is ugly.
"Look me in the eye if you wanna talk to me for fucks sake." Legend
Niki Lauda was the one that introduced Lewis Hamilton to Mercedes.when the others thought it wasn't a good idea.
The rest is history.....what a visionary RIP Niki Lauda.
Lauda is strong, but at 2:44 you can see him reflecting on what he went through, and what he lost. Such an admirable, inspiring person.
i thought he was gonna cry
that was actually emotional
He looks phenomenal for going through that accident.
He's so inspiring, I have a lot to learn from him.
I'm skinny and bald, most people see only that, some make jokes, some treat me like a monster, even people that are uglier than me (actually I'm not so ugly). I have to learn to deal with this situation with calm, confidence and positivity.
@@Rozumarix start doing calistenics pull ups, push ups, squads, and shave your head often, grown beard if u have and trim it to 5-10mm to look clean and you will be good. Training will give you power and confidence like nothing else. Goodluck with it. 👍
A true amazing man. He never needed the cap. I always loved him
2:41 that little pause shattered my heart. Man, I know that his life is great now but it must be really hard to take at the age of 27.
I'm 59 and I was severely burned when I was 9. I don't see the scars and there isn't anything you can do about it. You live with it.
he was a million air
bone app the teeth
Beryllium Money can't fix everything
Yeah it must be so hard, i agree u
not ugly, just different they did a good job fixing him up. poor bloke he really went through it
Daniel Bruhl did an excellent job of playing him, the voices and the accent is so similar
After his accident, he still looked a lot better than a lot of guys his age. The mental stress of dealing with morons like he had to must have been awful. The physical pain was only a fraction of the "total pain package". What a winning attitude he had to have, to get through this. Yet he sacked up and played the cards he was dealt like a champ.
Might be just because of the screen, but he doesn't look all that unusual these days in my opinion.
The cap helps a lot. He is a german tv expert and i've seen him last 20 years and he always looked like that. at the beginning i didn't even know what happened to him. only the ear gave it away.
When you get used to seeing a person and how they look, your perception of them becomes normalized. Take my wife for example: When she and I started dating, I thought she was the most beautiful and attractive woman alive. Fast forward 15 years and we are married now and am still very attracted to her, but she certainly is not as beautiful as I once perceived her to be, even thou she hasn't changed much. My visual perception of her has normalized. And that's how many of us see Niki Lauda. Yeah, obviously he suffered burning and we recognize that, but who cares? He's a living legend, and I am sure he's a good person with great character and that's all that matters.
His age helps a lot, were used to seeing wrinkled skin on someone who's 68, when he was young it was a greater contrast.
splashstrike I suspect this is the most likely reason. Oddly enough scarring prevents the appearance of aging, not that that's a good thing or worthwhile of course.
CastleBravo I get ya but dont tell your wife that
4:19 - Spot on Niki! Well said.
He actually looks very normal here. If he wasn’t talking about it I wouldn’t have really noticed
Dear Niki Lauda,
There is no reason to say you look ugly, there is a reason to feel pride. You are the legend of F1 and the fact that you accept the way you look just amazes me. You will always be our hero and by the way you look better than ever.
Regards
I think so too. As a woman, I still think he is handsome. Intelligent, brave, a Class Act.
First of all I think his burns give him a lot of character, honestly it’s a part of who he is and I think he looks better because of it
This is a man. Explaining in a foreign language his life changing experience with his physical condition.
Niki Lauda is a very inspiring guy
RIP Champ!
Now you can tell Senna how F1 nowadays is so boring, make fun and laugh together about it
Joshua Fancher true, it’s just boring to see Mercedes spank everyone. hopefully it will be more interesting in 2021
Bilal YEDRI f1 is not way more boring than 40 years ago. You just remembered the good parts
@Joshua Fancher Leclerc vs Verstappen is entertaining to watch.
He was am F1 driver? Is that how he got burned ?
@@davidbishop4085 yes, in an accident
When I was about 10 years old, I was introduced to F1 by my dad. When an interview with Niki Lauda came on, I asked my dad why he looked that way. My dad's reply was that Niki Lauda was a brave man! I will always think of Niki Lauda when I think of F1 and brave men. RIP Legend.
His wife was privileged. Always loved this amazing incredible man. One of a kind. RESPECT RIP
He's Niki freaking Lauda man!
A legend. There is not a shred of ugly to him. Ugly comes from inside a person. Its not what goes into you or happens to you that makes you ugly. Its what comes out of you and your character that if you allow it makes you an ugly person. Those guys drove death machines back then. Safety was just not developed yet like today. His will to survive was astonishing considering what he went through in recovery.
When the reporter asked the question, "What does your wife think?" Mr. Lauda should have beat the hell out of him.
Agnus Dei mr hunt did it for him
Max the world i wonder if that really happened or was that just in the movie?
Dom never happened i think
He did tell him to fuck off.
Snd then* James Hunt being the badass that he was knocked the Bejesuz out of him.
*from film may not happened.
Frederic Wessling do u believe everything u see in films
Wow.
It dawned on me, as I was listening to Niki explain his first emotions after seeing his burned head, just _how_ difficult it must be to accept such a deformation and live a life of loving and positivity afterwards.
I dont think its down to ego, in fact I believe it's most likely a feeling of being different to your species which must leave burn victims feeling like they're kinda sub human? I'm not a psychologist, I'm just sympathising as best I can.
It must be a horrendous feeling to know you'll never see YOUR face again, and people will look at you with horror and shock for the test of your life....
Just imagine that for a minute...
Thst is actually beyond our comprehension, but I think I would become a very angry, bitter, socially withdrawn and destroyed with self pity, and I'm just being honest. Shit man, I'm choking up just *imagining* it!
Niki's strength of character is humbling, for him to not only accept his misfortune but to actively use it to highlight the risks we take as a species.
He really was a quite incredible man.
God bless you Mr Lauda, and may God keep you close until the end of time.
This comment deserves a lot more likes.
Daniel Brühl, the guy who played Niki in the movie Rush, actually mentioned this in an interview.
That some people around set didn’t realize he was wearing prosthetics, and got really shocked and looked away when he walked past them, and it helped him experience what Niki went through all those years.
How ppl look away, look disgusted, gasp, act shocked etc. absolute no respect for what could’ve happened or his feel rings whatsoever.
He dont shock people. He never shocked me as a child. I only was impressed of the power of him. This is the face of a true legend. He looks great. I will miss you Niki.
He looks sexier as he got older...
He isn't ugly at all... love his sharpness!
@sbtopjosh Only time someone was happy to have wrinkles on their face due to oldness. Niki
I don’t know if sexier is the best word he definitely looks better
@@maddox471 I hate you!!!
@@thalessilva1 tf?
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games only in the movie. Not irl
this guy is a legend ... and the movie was great too haha ... RESPECT
RIP Niki Lauda,a hero to many.....
I think those scars added an extra layer to his charisma. He went further closer to death than all the others in an already dangerous job and re-emerged victorious.. we were in the 70s and still are today all mad for him! Lauda is the emblem of F1
I can't believe people can say such things, even in this cruel world!!! I wish I were as strong as him... I am struggling to recover from a very serious motorcycle accident 16 mths ago. My friends and wife left me 10 mths prior to my accident for having depression.
Ian 71X get well, stay strong
Ian 71X, That strength takes time. I too am a burn patient. As you deal with your losses and depression, and I know they are more than you mentioned, learn to practice awareness, critical awareness, of negative thoughts. Begin to learn to recognize negative thinking and reject it. The battle is in your mind. Repeatedly tell painful memories or thoughts to get the F OUT and replace them with any good thoughts. Over time, with some work, you will find you are able to keep your mind out of the ditch. Temper it all with gratitude that you are alive and still have time to kick some A and totally overcome your painful past. Now get after it!!!
the importance is, you are alive, that is what matters, your story is not told yet, there are people who suffered worst and accomplished a lot in their life, more than others that never suffered, always looked great and so on, don't let yourself down because of what happened to you, keep up the strength and continue writing your story in this world man, your life is not over, your life is over when you are 85 and your heart stops beating as long as you breath, you have to do the best you can
Ian 71X - allow me to be your friend
He is up in the top 5 for greatest F1 drivers of all time
He is my number one. Not the fastest, but he would have beaten Senna, Fangio, Schumacher, no doubt in my mind over a season
I was watching him. i was looking up to him.We were all growing up with him.
RIP LEGEND Miss you already
That is a brave soul! He has a pass to look that way! He EARNED those scars!!! Awesome man! Amazing driver! What a legend!
My grandfather is Johnny Rutherford, and he still has noticeable burns on his arms and face after the Eddie Sachs crash. They're actually incredible and scars of his career.

@@MrZootalores Thank you. This means a lot to both he and I. He appreciates all of his fans and has always tried to make time to the ones who wanted to talk. I admire him and view him as a model too.

Wow, seriously?!!
Give love to your granpa from us!
oh thats cool that you grandpa is a former racing driver.

He was never ugly, such a well spoken guy. Treat all people with respect regardless of what they look like
What a fucking warrior
I admired him before ... now I admire him more ........
The hard part is to control your thoughts.... he does it....
I worked at a hotel that served a hospital that had patients with severe facial and other trauma. It was very hard at first to deal with, but I finally figured out exactly what he said: they just want to be treated normally. I'm kind of a jokester and a tease, and I even started doing that. I remember one severely burned lady starting to cry just because I'd made her laugh. Just remember they didn't choose that, and tomorrow it could be you.
As an apprentice I worked with a guy my age (17) from Vietnam. He had burns from head to toe from napalm. Was hard to look at him at first but he had the same attitude as Nicky. This is me. I’d like to meet that guy again after 40 years. I didn’t know it at the time but he had an amazing influence on my life.
The Austrian Deadpool. Great man.
Another great Austrian🤚🏻😉💛
@@Anony_mouse2 hahahaha 😂
You have to appreciate how well Michael Bruhl emulated his voice and persona in Rush.
daniel bruhl
Except it was DANIEL Bruhl...
Its Daniel Bruehl, sounds a bit like the middle part of Buick, he is a German actor.
Daniel Brühl é espanhol.
I just saw a friend of mine who is a classics F1 Car Racer, battle and fight Nicki's 1984 Championship winning McLaren around Silverstone. It was truly a sight to witness. The fight they had around copse and Maggots and Becketts just reminds me of Lauda himself.
Such a warrior.
None of us could ever imagine what he went through, but its easy for people to point and call another ugly, we must remember the ignorant people who can't bother to be kind only point and call others ugly to make themselves feel better - as they desperately run from their own insecurities.
I hope Nicki's story gets spread around for the rest of humanity as it truly teaches a timeless lesson.
May he rest in peace, it was an honour to watch you car race - Nick Lauda.
RIP a very inspiring man.
legend
I know who you are and what you do !
I do not care how you look !
Your one of the greatest drivers ever with such a history that makes you attractive!
I think the inhalation of the heat and toxic fumes are what ultimately ended his life early. I loved that guy`s determination and outlook. Phenomenal driver, saw him win at Long Beach in 1982. I had some super 8 film footage of him and James Hunt from Long Beach in 1976, they were hanging out after practice near the pits and talking. Always wondered what happened to that footage. RIP Champ. :(
This is not an ugly man, this is a man to admire.
What 2 jackasses have disliked this video? I dont understand why people dislike somthing, if you dont like it then just watch somthing else dont ruin an amazing interview with one of histories best f1 driver. And a truly good person who always speak his mind.
MajorJammbaa ,
no doubt - I don't understand the value of a "thumbs down" on the analytics of such a video.
Makes no sense.
MajorJammbaa Because a dislike on a RUclips video matters alot.. *sigh*
Its not about that, its about showing respect for an amazing individual. Its whats wrong with this internet age we are living through, people have lost the ability to respect one another especially when it comes to videos on youtube. If you did not like the video then dont watch it whats the problem? If you do not like the person write a comment and state your argument.
MajorJammbaa
Yep...
My hero of the seventies is gone... what a sad day...
Niki Lauda is a Legend..he' s my hero since I was a kid...
As he ages he looks very natural and great (only the ear gives it up), otherwise I'd love to be in the shape he is when I am that age
R.I.P Niki Lauda 1 year ago, Legend forever 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇹❤
If by some chance I ever see or meet this legend, then I would probably stare but in awe of the man in my presence.
I don’t think he’s ugly at all, because beauty comes from the inside and not someone’s outer appearance and the man is a legend and a warrior.
Not ugly Niki, you are a wounded warrior who may be the most talented driver of all time. Thank you
One of the Greatest Formula One Legends. R.I.P. Niki Lauda.
Absolute legend!!!
R.I.P Mr. Lauda You left us to soon ! You will be missed , but never Forgotten
Omg i missed ppl like this...what we became in roughly 20-30 years, its sad to watch...with honest and readinness to accept better solutions when you realized other were better indeed, with ppl like that, with ppl like Lauda, world would be so normal...rip mister Lauda
Lauda,a hero,a gladiator..all respect,RIP Niki..❤🙏
He looks abit normal now coz his old so it's blending in
Long Live Niki Lauda!!
Irreplaceable, never again will we see courage such as this.
I went to his funeral here in Vienna. I was smart enough to get into the Church were i could watch the ceremony. It was very touching. Schwarzenegger, Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Brühl(the guy who played him in the movie) and so many more were there, i couldnt believe my eyes
3 times formula 1 world champion, in the time when cars were immensly powerfull and had very little safety... this man lived on the edge, he was obsessed with being the best, respect for his legacy and the inspiration this man gave to other great pilots that came after him in the 80s and 90s.
He should have become a huge movie star as well, in addition to his driving achievements
Niki Lauda what an absolute gem of a man. I felt awfully sadden yrs ago when he came out & said he had no friends. Fabulous F1 Driver. Sadly passed away 2 early. Thx 4 the gr8 memories Niki. The F1 paddock misses U. Terrific interview & rightly putting a few ratbags back in there place. 👍👍F1 fan & a Big Fan of N.L.
What an astonishing personality.
Idc, his face is in a bad state.
But he's in that bad state because he had the balls to participate in one of the most dangerous sports during the time, and then miraculously survive getting roasted to death.
This is what gives him the respect he so deserves as a legend of F1.
Ricardo Tella yeah and dont helped people out of burning cars before he self gets roasted a real legend
Not only survive but return to the sport and go on to kill it for many years to come.
