Niki Lauda passes away

[James B]

I’m across in Germany at the moment and a guy has just run into the hotel bar I’m in to say Nikki Lauda has passed away. Very sad news. He was an ever-present force in Formula 1 and showed commitment beyond comparison with anyone in the modern era.

It’s a sad day but his service to F1 will be recognised for years to come.

RIP Nikki.
