This was my era in motor racing and Ive never been interested again as much as the Lauda, Hunt days. It was a youthful time when I collected the model cars and formula 1 seemed to have more excitement, more characters...more mavericks if you like
Maybe that is just nostalgia talking. I respect Niki Lauda because living a long life is not the first consideration when getting behind the wheel of a formula 1 car, especially then.
I think we need people prepared to take risks like that. He was a very talented driver. RIP
