Светът на автомобилния спорт отдава днес почит на Ники Лауда. Трикратният световен шампион във Формула 1 почина на 20 май във Виена. Австриецът се превърна в легенда още приживе и бе сред най-уважаваните хора в спорта изобщо. Преживял ужасяваща катастрофа по време на Гран при на Германия през 1976 г., той бе пример за огромно желание за работа и притежаваше невероятна воля за преодоляване на трудностите.

Шефът на Мерцедес Тото Волф заяви, че кончината на Лауда оставя огромна празнина във Формула 1
„Ники винаги ще е сред най-големите легенди в спорта. Той съчетаваше героизъм, човечност и честност и в кокпита, и извън него. Загубихме не просто един герой, сътворил най-изумителното завръщане в спорта, но и човек, носещ безценни яснота и откровеност в съвременната Формула 1. Ще ни липсва страшно много като гласа на разума”, каза още Волф.
Niki Lauda was a pure example of hard work pays off! He said he had a great ass & could feel everything the car was doing. My Hero and I wish I was a Senna but I often think I was born more like a Lauda! Thank you Niki for all that you gave the sport, sad you have left us ? pic.twitter.com/XcAW1AfGco
