    Very sad news, RIP Niki.

    In the last couple of years, was amazing to see how passionate he was with Mercedes in the paddock.
    A born winner and fighter.

    Anyone who wants a reminder of the man, I would encourage them to wash the Rush movie.

    I thought that bloke could never die.
    What a recovery after a horrific crash.
    A true legend.

    You’re probably right. He was a legend and a funny man and I I’m looking forward to seeing the tributes to his life and career and I say that with the utmost respect for him.

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    What a legend. Any other man would have given up after his horrific crash on the Nürburgring in the 70s when he was only in his twenties. I remember it well. He recovered very quickly seemingly not embarrassed by his scars and he was very successful in his come back in F1 and in many of his other ventures. Legend.

    Sad that he's dead. He lived longer than a lot of his contemporaries and 70 good years in spite of a horrific crash. He did well.
