Sad news, comes the day after the 40th anniversary of the accident that made him retire from F1, Lauda's accident
The man who Mario once described as someone who would end dying if he became an undertaker, he certainly had the talent to be WC certainly could have done in 68, but as it was only had a couple of NC wins to his name. And was probably too nice a guy to have that killer instinct. And was modest enough to admit he was more lucky than unlucky, in that he survived an era that loads of others were dying in
McLaren, Hulme and Amon now all gone. RIP
