Top Cats Hat   10 #2 Posted May 21, 2019 One of the old school Formula One drivers, Nikki Lauda has died.  To go on and win a world championship after coming so close to being burned alive is some feat.  RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Top Cats Hat   10 #5 Posted May 21, 2019 He recently had a lung transplant. I wonder if this was a legacy from his crash where the toxic fumes from burning fibre glass almost killed him.  Lovely tribute from Billy Monger on the BBC News  just now.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ontarian1981 Â Â 10 #7 Posted May 21, 2019 I watched the film Rush a couple of weeks back on Netflix. I t documented his big rivalry with James Hunt in 1976.Hunt would have never won his F1 championship had Lauda not had his horrific accident.Good movie with that Thor actor as Hunt. RIP Niki you outlived your rival and friend by a lot of years. Â Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
