The former Formula One driver and three-time world champion Niki Lauda has
died at the age of 70, his family has said. The Austrian died overnight on
Monday, eight months after receiving a lung transplant.
“With deep sadness, we announce that our beloved Niki has peacefully passed
away with his family on Monday,” the family said in a statement, according
to the Austrian press agency. The statement paid tribute to “his unique
achievements as an athlete and entrepreneur” and said “his tireless zest
for action, his straightforwardness and his courage remain. A role model and
a benchmark for all of us, he was a loving and caring husband, father and
grandfather away from the public, and he will be missed.”
Lauda, who won titles in 1975, 1977 and 1984, was hugely admired, respected
and liked within F1 after a remarkable career during which he won two titles
for Ferrari and one for McLaren and came back from an horrific accident that
left him severely burned and injured in 1976. He competed in 171 races and
won 25. He also actively pursued business interests including his own airline
and went on to have senior roles in F1 management, most recently as
non-executive chairman at the hugely successful Mercedes since 2012, where he
helped bring Lewis Hamilton to the team.
As tributes began to flow, his former team McLaren said: “Niki will forever
be in our hearts and enshrined in our history.” Prominent motorsports
journalist Nick De Groot said Lauda’s legendary status within the sport was
“not just for what he achieved on the race track, but for what he overcame
to get there”, while former MotoGP champion Casey Stoner called Lauda “a
true icon and motorsport legend”.
Niki Lauda: the three-time Formula One world champion's life – in pictures
Lauda was an exceptional driver, brave and uncompromising but with fine
judgement. He was born in 1949 and pursued a career in racing against the
wishes of his family. A determination he would demonstrate again when he took
out a personal bank loans to ensure he had a shot at F1. He made his debut in
1971 and seasons with March and BRM followed where he impressed enough for
Enzo Ferrari to offer him a drive with the Scuderia in 1974. Ferrari were
rewarded with a podium on his first race and a win three meetings later in
Spain. The next year he took his first title for the team, their first for
over a decade.
A year later, when in another strong position for the title, he had a major
crash at the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring. Trapped in his burning
car, he was pulled from the wreckage but suffered severe burns and damage to
his lungs. Despite doubts he would survive or indeed ever race again, Lauda’
s determination to do so was extraordinary and just six weeks later he
returned for the Italian Grand Prix, still bandaged and in pain after
extensive surgery. With James Hunt resurgent Lauda could still have taken the
title at the final round in Japan but opted to retire from the race convinced
the torrential rain made it unsafe. Hunt, with whom he enjoyed both respect
and friendship, took the championship.
Lauda went on to take the title a second time a year later but after two
further seasons with Brabham retired in 1979, when he started his first
airline business. He made a comeback for McLaren however in 1982 and went on
to win the championship for them in 1984 after a hugely competitive fight
with team-mate Alain Prost. The Austrian took the title at the last round by
just half a point. He retired from F1 for a second and final time in 1985 and
returned to pursuing his business interests.
He took a consulting managerial role at Ferrari in 1993 and was team
principal of Jaguar between 2001 and 2002. He has been a fixture in the
paddock since joining Mercedes however, always outspoken, entertaining and
informed. He was as vital a component in F1 in the latter part of his life as
he had been during his driving heyday.

劳达是一位出色的车手，勇敢而不妥协，但判罚力很好。 他出生于1949年，他的职业生
涯是在违背家人意愿的情况下进行的。 当他拿出个人银行贷款以确保他有机会参加F1时
，他会再次证明这一点。 他在1971年首次亮相，三月和BRM的季节紧随其后，他给Enzo
Ferrari留下了足够深刻的印象，让他在1974年驾驶Scuderia。法拉利在他的第一场比赛
中获得了领奖，并在西班牙赢得了三场胜利。 第二年，他获得了球队的第一个冠军头衔
，这是他们第一次夺冠十多年。
一年后，当他在冠军头衔的另一个强势位置时，他在纽伯格林德国大奖赛上遭遇重大撞
车事故。 被困在他燃烧的汽车里，他被从残骸中拉出来，但遭受了严重的烧伤和肺部损
伤。 尽管怀疑他会活下来或者确实再次参加比赛，但劳达决心这样做是非同寻常的，仅
仅六周后他就回到了意大利大奖赛，在经过大规模手术后仍然绷带痛苦。 随着詹姆斯·
亨特复活，劳达仍然可以在日本的最后一轮夺冠，但选择退出比赛，确信暴雨使其不安全
。 亨特与他一起享受着尊重和友谊，并获得了冠军。
劳达接着一年后第二次夺冠，但在经历了两个赛季之后，布拉汉姆在1979年退役，当时
他开始了他的第一家航空公司业务。 然而，他在1982年为迈凯轮卷土重来，并在与队友
阿兰·普罗斯特（Alain Prost）展开激烈竞争后，于1984年赢得了冠军。 奥地利队在最
后一轮比赛中获得了半分。 他于1985年从F1退役第二次也是最后一次，并回归追求自己
的商业利益。
他于1993年在法拉利担任咨询管理职务，并于2001年至2002年期间担任捷豹车队的负责
人。自从加入梅赛德斯以来，他一直是围场的固定人员，总是直言不讳，娱乐性和知情
。 在他生命的最后阶段，他和他在驾驶鼎盛时期一样，在F1中扮演着至关重要的角色。
心得/说明：(30字以上)
当年皮肤烧伤，肺部永久受损，仍然写下传奇。
传奇的车手、传奇的老板。
在赛道现场的画面仍然可见于今年电视转播，
没想到这么快就消逝了。
