I think very few Americans understand the skill needed to drive one of those Formula cars. And now, drivers almost need engineering degrees to be able to get behind the wheel of those things.
Lauda was a pioneer.
RIP Niki.I think very few Americans understand the skill needed to drive one of those Formula cars. And now, drivers almost need engineering degrees to be able to get behind the wheel of those things.

Seems to me I saw a bit one time where they put NASCAR drivers in Formula 1's and they had a heck of a time trying to drive them on a road course. Maybe it was someone other than NASCAR, cannot recall. It was people who you would think would know how to drive them.
My old neighbor traveled the world with some Formula 1 team as a mechanic. He thought it was insane how much money they spend, but he wasn't looking a gift horse in the mouth.
I just read on the BBC that legendary F1 driver Niki Lauda had passed away.
A truly remarkable, incredibly tough, and brave man.
After his accident, Mr. Lauda could have gathered his thoughts, and made himself the face of a movement to end this ghoulish insanity - men senselessly driving around in circles at breakneck speed, risking life and limb for no reason whatsoever. Obviously, there was no such insight, and no such movement, and the insanity continues to this day.
RIP, Mr. Lauda!

The last time I saw him he was with TW in the Merc. padok.
Niki was rumoured to be ailing.
He and JS were the F! drivers who worked the hardest to improve driver/fan safety.
Not only that but you have to be a little spidery guy...If you're taller than 5' 6" and weigh more than 150 lb, you can't fit into the cars if you were dipped in oil.I think very few Americans understand the skill needed to drive one of those Formula cars.

What you call insanity I call mans quest for improvement. The safety technologies developed from auto racing now make ALL driving safer for everybody.
Man is pushing himself always. Some choose to conquer, some choose to race.
I will support the racers endeavors over the conquerors every time because almost always the only casualties are the racers.
