Niki Lauda passes away!

[Bill Pemberton]

Sad news today that F1 great and hero to many for his courageous spirit, Niki Lauda has passed after succumbing to a recent illness. With some organ transplants in the past years he was always thankful to have made it this long, especially after surviving his horrible wreck that burned so much of his body during his racing career. One of my racing heroes and I am sure the same for many other on this site, the checkered flag has waved one last time at the finish line for Niki!

Very sad news. He was one of my favorite drivers as well. He only missed a few races after his horrific accident and he was back in the drivers seat. Truly a fierce competitor.

If I had half the courage Niki had, I'd still be only half the man he was. May he rest in peace.
