    The triple world champion passed away last night at the age of 70, following major health problems he had after lung transplantation in January.

    Lauda marked one era of competition in the fastest caravan, and will remain remembered for 25 wins, 54 placements among the three best and fantastic and comeback rides.

    On August 1, 1976, Lauda suffered a grave affair in Nuremberg, where he almost did not lose his life.

    He later spoke about this accident many times, it was a miracle that he managed to survive after such an impact in a burning car where he was captured for 55 seconds.

    Niki then suffered serious injuries, large burns in the head area and permanently damaged the lungs and kidneys. He inhaled toxic substances and the rest of his life was permeated with constant health problems.

    He had two kidney transplants, and finally a lung. However, how he survived the hell of Nurburgring, best illustrate his words.

    In one of the many interviews he gave during his career, Niki talked about those terrible moments.

    "I knew that something would happen one time, and I'm happy to survive, but you never start a race without being prepared to do something like that, " Niki said in 1992 to reporters Sydney Morning Herald, Peter Ficsimons .

    Allsport UK / Allsport
    And then the moment of the impact.

    " I walked at a speed of 280 per hour when something broke and I slamed straight into the wall. Bolid turned into a firing ball and I was in it for 55 seconds at a temperature of 800 degrees, until I was kind of pulled out. I give the edge of death , "Nicky recalled.

    He also described moments of clinical death after an accident.

    " It was as if I were falling into a big hole, I wanted to indulge myself, be sucked into that black hole, and let everything go. It was nice. Somehow I realized that it was dying and then I tried to get out of all this and wake up, "Lauda describes.

    He says he then spotted the faces of the doctors around him and tried to concentrate on every voice that reached him. Just keep getting away from the "black hole".

    Three days later, he felt better. After only six weeks, he found himself on the track in Monca, his wrapped heads. Getting ready for the race! He says he did not feel excessive courage.

    " I went out for training on the first day, with the first speed everything was fine, but when I switched to another, I almost did not turn back from fear." I could not drive, I was scared. "

    Later it was much better. He started at the race from the 4th position. He had a problem because while he was on the recovery, nobody said that there was a change in the startup system. Instead of marking the beginning by lowering the flag, the green light was expected to light.

    " I was at the start wondering where the flagman was, when I realized that everyone around me started. From the fourth, I fell to 15th in the first curve, " Lauda said.

    Becoming a Formula 1 driver is not easy. Not only is it risky, it's already a question of what to do next when you retreat.

    " To climb, like any other sport, you have to have a strong alternative. To be at the top of the sport you are dealing with has its advantages, live actively, make a lot of money, but to the end what are you doing? You get to life for the rest of your life if you do not find a bigger challenge, I've watched many riders pull out and how to hang out with younger drivers in order to recapture memories of their successes, which is sad. "

    Lauda was later a successful private owner, the owner of a mini airlines, a TV commentator. He worked for RTL, his comments were clear, shy and uncompromising. He did not choose whom to criticize, only when he felt that he was right. But that's why he was more than right and everyone is remembered as a great Knowledge Formula 1.

    In the history of this sport, he will remain remembered as one of the greatest. Virtuoso like Fanjam, Seine, Clark ... Genius in your own way.

    During his career, he won the biggest names, Emerson Fitipaldi, Jodie Shekter, Nelson Pike ...

    It will be remembered for a specific style. In an era when modern Formula One stars resembled Hollywood stars, Niki got the nickname "Pacov". We should not say why, but he never touched it.

    After a major accident in 1976, he refused to go for a plastic surgery. Simply, you would just put a baseball cap with your sponsor's logo, wear a tweed jacket or jacket. He was a simple style and did not care what others would talk about him.

    Because he was - Lauda. Unique. Unmistakable.

Team-based sports tell you what to do, you go where you're sent, you present yourself at a particular hour, eat what you are told, meet with your coach when you are told, and so on , "Gareth Bale told BT Sports.

    Gareth Bale: "You do not have your own life!"
    29-year-old Welsh continues to talk about the "restrictions" of his life.

    " If I had a fourth change available today, I would not have introduced him to the field. I've been counting on other players in recent weeks. All decisions are taken in the interest of the team. Bale has won many things alongside the team, but we are currently living and the future matters. We will not forget what he has done in the past, but we have to live today , "Zidane told the press conference after the disgraceful failure with Betis (0-2).

    What Gareth Bale told their colleagues in the locker room

    29-year-old Welsh is in Real since 2013 when he was bought from Tottenham for 100 million euros.
