He was our president and friend. Niki, someone like you will never come, we miss you," said Mercedes' Twitter account. . Austrian Lauda, one of the best-known names of motorsport, had won the Formula 1 championship with Ferrari in 1975 and 1977, and McLaren in 1984. Lauda was a model for sports fans with his determination by participating in the races again in 40 days, despite the fact that he suffered severe burn wounds in the accident at the German Grand Prix in the 1976 season, when he was in the championship. The rivalry that he entered with Great British pilot James Hunt in the same season was adapted to the cinema in 2013 and the story of the duo was told in the movie "Offense to Victory" (Rush). Lauda, who also has an airline company that made investments in the field of air transportation after his Formula 1 career and was named after him, was appointed as the honorary chairman of Mercedes in 2012.
