What an accomplished man both in racing, life and business.
Especially considering his set backs

In life there is really only one certainty. We all die. Some sooner than others. He had a good life, achieving what many of us could only dream.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
RIP Niki.
Age 70, so soon.
Only one thing I can say about the press reports is that they are inconsistent, the Daily Telegraph link in first post says 5 months since his lung transplant, the UK Sun reports 8 months, one of them must be wrong?
FORMULA One legend Niki Lauda has died at the age of 70, his heartbroken family has confirmed.
The three-time F1 world champion passed away peacefully on Monday - eight months after undergoing a lung transplant.
Cheers, Tiny

The information is out there; you just have to let it in."
Both a very clinical and very brave man and a great driver, R.I.P. Niki Lauda
Will be a solemn weekend of F1 this week.

One of the bravest, most driven men of this century
RIP Nicky
I really hate all these Death announcements.
XXX DEAD sounds insulting or disrespectful to the person. I know I'll get flack for being precious but just never sits well with me.

A nice quote from Niki Lauda just popped up;
"A lot of people criticise Formula 1 as an unnecessary risk. But what would life be if we only did what is necessary?"
As only Niki could say it
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
The United States ? That's the country we are posting on, we don't have free speech in Australia.
I have no idea at all how posting that someone is dead is disrespectful or insulting. If we didn't, someone might think they are just asleep.
I can remember when I was a kid in the 70's reading one of those joke sheets of paper (same as the ones posted in the joke thread) and can clearly remember this one :
Q. What do Niki Lauder and Hot Lips Houlihan have in common ?
A. They have both been ####ed by major burns.
It is pretty funny
RIP Niki Lauder, a great achiever and really accomplished a lot over his life time.

Niki Lauda gets a mention in this old Hey Hey It's Saturday Combo of Dickie Knee.

Hehehe.... Come on guys, you can't do any worse than me. It came as a surprise when I heard that he died. I thought he was already dead.
Youtube appears to have blocked the Red faces skit Oceanboy, because the first thing that always jumps to mind where I hear the name Niki Lauda is that skit.
Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
