RIP Niki Lauda

[misskarne]

Rest in Peace to Niki Lauda, three times Formula One World Champion. He was 70 years old.

Best known for the horrible fiery crash at the old Nurburgring, which burned his skin and lungs, and his miraculous return to racing 40 days later, going on to miss out on the championship by a single point.

The racing world's going to miss this legend.

What a story. Really enjoyed the film “Rush”.

RIP.

R.I.P. Niki Lauda. I am not into car racing, so normally I wouldn’t have known who he was. The movie ‘Rush’ told his story.
