RIP. I didn't realise how many health issues he'd had over the years - two kidney transplants and a lung transplnt.

He would have died in the Nurburgring crash if it weren't for other drivers stopping and getting him out. There were no stewards close to where he crashed. He was given the last rites but only missed two races, and could have possibly even won the title that year if he wasn't forced to retire in Japan with the torrential rain hitting his burns and blinding him.
He reformed the drivers' trade union in the week following the deaths of Senna and Ratzenburger to demand better safety.
RIP, bona fide legend.

At the same time??? That's a pretty decent story to tell
That’s why Nurburgring was taken off the F1 circuit list.
A superb driver and after his comeback from that accident, incredibly brave.
In his later years with Mercedes I always liked his interviews. Toto is the height of corporate polish but Lauda just told it as it was.

Yeah, the north loop at least. A mate of mine had a drive around it a few years back.
The living (RIP) embodiment of "getting back on the horse". A true hero.
