Niki Lauda: Vacuuming my lungs 

Looked death right in the eye and spat right back in its face, lol. What a legend.

Yeppp

He out lived expectations.

Double hard bastard

RIP Niki Lauda :(.

@@rharris8344 ?

He sure is!

@@ccth22 was :(

no he went upset beacuse the priest didn't speak to him as nurse... but a priest doesn't need to speak... the sacraments, the rites speak for him!!

He just wanted to bast his baals

Local Austrian man too angry to die

This is the most Niki Lauda thing I've ever heard

I’d have called him back in to say to him you better hope I don’t die because you don’t want me putting the wrong words in the ear of your god!

Look up, I think his name is Daniel Bruhl, and he's German; he spent time with Niki, and learnt how to imitate his accent... I mean, Chris Hemsworth was pretty good as James Hunt, but Daniel did an outstanding job as Niki, he looks and sounds so much like Niki...

@@frankgile1996 Yes Bruhl did an outstanding job. Should have won a ton of awards for that performance. Nailed it. One of the most underrated performances that year. They were both awesome. And yes, Niki was most certainly one of the realest of all deals. And he was consistently like that his whole life. One of those people who the more details you learn about, the more you respect. I've got one of his books Meine Story. Highly recommended. You'll like him a bunch more after reading that cos you'll realise this is what he was like all the time.

His story is known globally, but it just a generational thing, it depends what age you are plus not everyone was into racing. Many people would never have heard of James Hunt either because he died so young in his middle 40s, so generations after that only tend to know of more recent names but in my time and era James Hunt was all over the newspaper’s and press as the glamour boy of racing. Nikki Lauda was always known as the more serious face of racing, then of course his accident and pure grit after his accident made headline news. It’s been lovely over the last few years seeing him talk more freely following the film and listening to these videos. He always came across as very cool and almost glacial in his time racing, complete antithesis of James Hunt, so this is lovely to watch.

:(

Arturo Merzario right?

@@wakeupandsmellthecoffeetod9582 Yes, Arturo Merzario, god bless him

​@@andresvalverde5182 merzario also revived him, so he kept him awake. using techniques learned in military service. he practically saved him twice.

and all this after he smoked a joint...who knew???

Lol

J-F Malo ... NL is Tough as they get!

I was more excited about his first toke experience lmao

Hahaha YES.

Thanks! Appreciate you saying that, and watching. -AD

i understood that reference

@Darth Matt Secondary concerns when head trauma is severe enough. Primary concern in such conditions is/was to stay awake as to prevent the patient from slipping into a coma. A coma that one is not guaranteed to wake from. Yes, docs want to observe brain function after concussion obvi... Survival trumps observation.

I just watched it Rip Niki

I just watched it #RipNiki

Shut the fuck up lol 😂

He got so high it almost killed him again lmao
