Rest in peace. Just recently I watched videos of interviews with him that I really enjoyed. Here they are:

Here few of them that stood up (but they are all good as far as I'm concerned):

A legend in motorsport, will miss his character and face in F1 amongst the current crop of corporate race types!

Very sad news indeed. We named one of our tortoises after him. Not because Niki is slow, but for other more apparent reasons....

I remeber how he fought back when that airliner of his crashed. He did a lot for F1 but even more for air safety.

My wife still gives me a slap when I refer to him as 'old pizza face' she still does not understand that it is a term of endearment.

When men were made men Lauda was cut from a different cloth.

"A lot of people criticise Formula 1 as an unnecessary risk. But what would life be like if we only did what is necessary?" – Niki Lauda.

Bloody legend.

Let me guess, you got a Haasie too?

For all those not getting this you miss a good joke, but this thread isn't the one to post it on.
RIP Niki!
