Above: Niki Lauda in his McLaren at Spa-Francorchamps in 1983.

Niki Lauda doesn't need any introduction I think.
A racer everybody on this planet will know. Not only for of his three world titles,
but at least for his 1976 Nurburgring crash, which nearly killed him.
During and after his racing career, Lauda set up his own airline company (Lauda Air),
was an advisor for Ferrari, and head of Jaguar's F1 project.
These days he is still involved in motor-racing and F1 in particular
as a journalist for the German television company RTL.
He is also looking after the career of his son Mathias, who races GP2 and A1GP.
