Lauda won the world title three times.
Legendary Austrian racing driver Niki Lauda died aged 70 on Monday in his home city of Vienna. Remembered for returning to Formula 1 just weeks after a catastrophic crash that saw his car engulfed in flames, the three-time world champion is one of the best-known figures in the sport.

Peter J Fox/Getty Images After switching teams from Ferrari to Brabham for 1978, Lauda's prominence waned and he became tired of the sport. During a 1979 practice session he told Brabham boss Bernie Ecclestone he was done, and retired for two years.
After his death, the team wrote on Twitter: “All at McLaren are deeply saddened to learn that our friend, colleague and 1984 Formula 1 World Champion, Niki Lauda, has passed away…[he] will forever be in our hearts and enshrined in our history.” Outside of his F1 career, Lauda was a keen pilot who set up two airlines: Lauda Air, which he sold to Austrian Airlines, and Niki Air.
