"Niki was an Austrian Formula One driver, motorsport executive, and aviation entrepreneur, but best known for winning three Formula One World Drivers’ Championship titles. He is the only driver to have won the World Championship with both Ferrari and McLaren, and—at the time of his retirement—held the record for the most podium finishes (54). Lauda’s career spanned two periods, from 1971 to 1979 and 1982 to 1985."
...
"...The look of a man who had seen the limit, understood it, and returned to work without asking the world for applause.
...
In a sport built on speed, noise and spectacle, Lauda’s image remained quiet. And perhaps that is why it still feels so powerful today."

00:03Nicky Lauda, how's it been going for you in practice so far?
00:07Yesterday not too bad, I've been second quickest.
00:09If you consider that the last two or three races I've been 15th on the grid,
00:12it's quite an improvement, but we have to wait the final session today to see where I will end up.
00:38What goes on in your mind in the last minute before the race starts?
00:42You realise nothing what happens around you, basically.
00:46You just wait for the start to come on and you concentrate because the start is a very difficult procedure.
00:51Because you have to have certain revs and not too much wheel spin and so on.
00:53So you just concentrate very much on the start and you just tell yourself you have to do a good
00:58start today.
01:00Then you just think of what happens after the start and you just concentrate, you wait for the moment to
01:05start.
