That was just perfect. Nailed it completely. However Daniel uses more gestures and head nods (also in his role as Baron Zemo in Marvel Universe) whilst the real Lauda is more calm and moves less.
@ryo ga they didn't have turbos at the time, so zero boost. And actually, that would help in letting it go faster. And yeah, each cylinder is quite a bit smaller than your typical cylinder displacement. All of that, plus having really really good engineering and just being hella precise. Those engines were tiny compared to how much power they can make.
@ryo ga nah the limits are 14.500 cuz of the rods ska crank shaft back in the days 12.500 was ths holy range to keep it healty not overheating it was natural asprated engines, with open valves basicily it was a bomb on wheels, we have bike engines that rev up to 18k, but this is only for short period of time,
I think people underestimate the achievement of winning two more titles after that crash in Germany. To even finish the season was so incredibly brave. One of the greatest drivers the world has ever seen.
I laughed so hard....”Grandma says it’s a bomb on four wheels” lol!!! Niki Lauda is by far my favorite F1 driver EVER. He was so focused, dedicated, and pushed himself to excellence. He truly emulated what F1 is all about!
This video is pure Gold and here you can see how mechanical Lauda was as a driver. Those who understand the machines well are usually the best drivers. RIP F1 Legend.
I don’t understand of what he’s saying but he’s so matter of fact the way he says it Heat sensor installed for fire extinguisher after Nürburgring The accident that nearly left you dead.. Niki you were a hero
Cmon. Bruhl portrayed Lauda as some socially über--awkward damn serious autist Niki NEVER was. The real Niki Lauda was funny and easygoing and got very well along with James Hunt from their F3 days onward. They were the best pals in F1 and the rivalrity was NOT such an angry and bitter one, like in the movie.
Cool stuff! You really hear of his almost commanding tone about serious commitment to racing. No wonder he is one of the best drivers ever. Specially on technical note maybe the best of all.
How can anyone dislike this guy, seriously his stoic no-nonsense mindset and his very dry humor sense, his insane professionalism.... no wonder why everybody admired him back then and guys like Hunt always wanted to be close to him, even when they were so different, this guy is what a race driver should be, and that was true back then and today in the same way
Exactly! That is why Dr. Marko was one of his best friends ever. (Not only on track - same mindset) They think the "same" and try always to say the clear, direct truth. You may like this kind of personality, or not. (Me as an Austrian appreciate it) As M.V. is thinking the same way. Otherwise he would never came along with Marko this long time.
I CANT BELIEVE THIS TRUE. I'm just confused and my jaws are dropped. I just watched Rush for the first time (which is a shame, i should have watched it first than Ford V Ferrari). It feels like this is Daniel Bruhl in 2012 and the camera is just different lol.
F1 today is relatively safe but those 1970s cars were the grim reaper on wheels. The bravery of those boys was off the scale and Niki was the bravest of the brave.

That's true, I feel like Vettel was the very last of his kind. The type of driver that knows the car just as well as the engineers. Nothing against the new generation of drivers or modern F1 in general but I feel most of them are just there to drive the car and let their engineers tell them what to do
0:23 Definitely only fitted for a precise man like Lauda. I'd certainly would constantly hit it accidentally a couple of times because I'm a person that loves to fiddle with my thumbs and rest them in the middle when driving. (In the hypothetical scenario that I would have been an F1 driver of Lauda's caliber in that time).
It is not a rev limit switch. It may be an adjuster to lower the rev limit under certain circumstances (IE: big lead late in race and you want to preserve the engine and/or fuel. There was no pit lane speed limit or safety car periods in those days so it isn't for pit speed etc.
this might seem a stupid question, but can someone explain why he has to brake at an angle with his heel on the accelerator. Something to do with the transmission, but i’m not a great mechanic haha.
The transmission doesn't have synchronizers. Synchronizers help smooth out a gear change by matching the speed of the engine and to the speed of the desired grear. If the transmission doesn't have synchronizers, the driver will blip the throttle to bring the engine speed closer to what is needed for the lower gear. This can be done in any manual transmission car, and will extend the life of the transmission, but it is especially needed if the transmission doesn't have synchros.
In racing you do it with any manual transmission but it's absolutely required if you don't have synchros. When you shift down the engine rpm will always increase, the engine will resist increasing rpm and when racing at already high rpms this can be enough to lock up the driven tires, in this case the rears which can cause the car to spin out. The difference in rpm will also prevent shifting at all if your transmission isn't synchronized. Because of this you must bring the engine up to the rpm it will have to be at anyway after the downshift during the time that the clutch is engaged, this way the engine doesn't have to speed up while in gear When shifting down you push the clutch in with your left foot and the brakes with the right but this means that you can't use the throttle. To press all pedals at once you tilt/twist your right foot so you can keep pressing the brakes and clutch while also using the throttle to bring the engine up to the right rpm. This technique is good to use anywhere but a requirement for racing in any manual car or in older road car without synchros. It's called a "heel-toe downshift" and it is a type of rev matching
Simply not true. It's predecessor (the B3) was a nearly five year old design heavily adapted and modified by multiple designers. In it's earlier guises, the 312B won several races (ten, as I recall, in an era where there were typically 14 or 15 each year). If it were all down to Lauda, he would have beaten his teammate (Regazzoni) in 1974. He did not. In the precursor to the 312T, Regazzoni finished second in the world championship some 14 points ahead of Lauda (and just three points shy of Fittipaldi, the eventual world champion). Lauda was an excellent development and race driver, but to suggest the success of the 312T series was all down to him is ludicrous. Mauro Forghieri designed both the original 312s and 312Ts. It was the work of he and his team that made this car the world beater it was (and from 75-79, it won three championships and should have won a fourth had it not been for Lauda's accident(s) at the Nurburgring).
@@jeelsvealnerve1163 Forghieri designed the 312B3 and B4 with the same concepts he had used for the 312 PB endurance car. The large and inclined surface of the bodywork of the World Endurance car achieved greater downforce than the Formula One car which was equipped with the same 3-litre 12-cylinder "flat" engine.
Back when F1 race cars were race cars.... nothing fancy just straight up barebones race cars with a few gauges. No sega gamegear style stearing wheels. Back when legends like Niki literally reacted to how the car was performing based off of his body in contact with the car and becoming one with the car lol.. no computer aided systems. Gear shifters actually on the right hand side too and you literally had to take your hand off of the steering wheel to shift gears lol. Now the paddle shifters are on the steering wheel. I wonder how the current champs like Lewis Hamilton would do if he raced in this era of F1 with legends like John Watson, James Hunt, Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda.. guys who were literally willing to kill themselves and push their machines to the limit just to win.
Well you can actually find footage of I think Senna’s onboard from Monaco in 1987 and most of the time his right hand is off the wheel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sAbAK7Kwq6o.htmlsi=rfAW01RmQmJfaNtk Tbh I think a lot of current drivers would be fine with a manual gearbox, especially experienced drivers like Hamilton and Alonso. Maybe Carlos Sainz might do well with rallying in his DNA.
It is sad how he talks about the fire extinguisher button and that if he wont press it there is a sensor to activate it automatically, yet later he will end up completely burned by an accident
Yes indeed is sad, it would have definitely helped him (at least it would have decreased the flames power). However in 1978 the automatic fire extinguisher didnt help Ronnie Peterson at all...
back when race cars were real machines very little if any electronics to make the car easier to drive,,,and manual shifters,,no exotic computer designed aero,,,and all that steel,no carbon fiber to obsorb impacts,,,,,these guys had balls,safety was'nt in the the house back in those days,can you imagine at any f1 race back then,,there was a very good chance someone could die,the only racing today that i feel like that someone could die when i am watching is indycars on high speed ovals
