Niki Lauda gives Lewis Hamilton a special lift

In the end it's a Mercedes commercial, but quite an informative one with inside views of Lewis Hamilton. By the way: you can see Niki Lauda every F1 race weekend on RTL German TV as a commentator; he is such a cool guy with a great sense of humor.

Michael, thanks for posting this. Lauda is one of my heroes. IIRC, woke up w/priest giving him last rites, got angry, threw priest out of hospital room.

Back in car VERY quickly, but @ Japan (IIRC) thought conditions were unsafe and stood up for himself and others.

A very special guy.

I love when LH gets into the car and NL tells him to put his seat-belt on!
