News Niki Lauda, RIP.

[Notebook]

Sad news, he seems to have been a nice guy, and fantastic driver too.
Too soon.

This time it seems to be the final death for him, after evading death more than just once. His lungs had been badly damaged after his near-fatal crash in Germany, and the full lung transplant he received last year did not get accepted well by his body.

Not sure if he was really a nice guy, as far as I heard, he was very tough on himself and others. But he really had been there. He literally bought himself into the Formula One back then. And his technical skills really got Ferrari on top in the Formula One.
