Niki Lauda's passing

[TAG]

Legendary Formula 1 racer Niki Lauda has died ... according to his family; died Monday ... nine months after undergoing surgery for a lung transplant.

Tragic news for the sport, a tremendous loss. My condolences to the family, we'd all like to see a tribute to him this race weekend.

That's so sad.

He and James probably have a lot of catching up to do.

Over the years a lot of drivers have participated in F1. More than anybody else, Niki Lauda WAS F1.

R.I.P. Weltmeister, you will long be remembered,

RIP Niki.

A man who beyond his obvious skill proved that a physical problem is no real problem at all.
