Nicky Lauda. Biography. Hamilton M.

Three-time Formula-1 champion Nicky Lauda is a special pilot. In the 1976 season, the film “Race” (2013) was shot about the dramatic struggle for the title between him, and Nicky’s championship in 1984 with a margin of half an eye from another “F-1” legend, Alena, is completely unique of a kind. However, those who saw Lauda at the dawn of his careers did not predict him the title of one of the greatest riders in history. On the contrary, Nicky’s path in motorsport could end, barely starting. What is it like to work with the two greatest “dictators” of “Formula-1” Enzo Ferrari and Bernie Ecclestone? About this, as well as about the most terrible tragedy in Lauda’s life - the terrible plane crash of the aircraft of his company Lauda Air in 1991 - you will learn from the book of Maurice Hamilton.

In 2019, Nicky Lauda died. Without a great straightforward Austrian in the red baseball cap, Paddok “F-1” Osirotel: the memories of his friends, family members and old racing rivals serve as best evidence.
