He is currently the only driver to have been champion for both Ferrari and McLaren, the sport's two most successful constructors. More recently an aviation entrepreneur, he has founded and run two airlines (Lauda Air and Niki). He is also Bombardier Business Aircraft brand ambassador.

Lauda was seriously injured in a crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, during which his Ferrari burst into flames and he came close to death after inhaling hot toxic fumes and suffering severe burns. However he recovered and returned to race again just six weeks later at the Italian Grand Prix.

Plot: Set against the sexy, glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing in the 1970s, the film is based on the true story of a great sporting rivalry between handsome English playboy 'James Hunt (II)' (qv) (Hemsworth), and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Austrian driver 'Niki Lauda' (qv) (Bruhl). The story follows their distinctly different personal styles on and off the track, their loves and the astonishing 1976 season in which both drivers were willing to risk everything to become world champion in a sport with no margin for error: if you make a mistake, you die.

Keywords: accident, comebackThere's no equality here
There's no equality anywhere
And every failing face
Is quickly replaced
By one you can't lose
It's an illusion
I'll even do revolution
That's never meant to occur
Won't happen to her
Won't happen to you
And you let me down slowly
Let me down slow and you turned me around
Let me down easy
Let yourself go, now you're goin' to town
Baby, baby, can't you see
What this hypocrisy is doin' to me?
We should've kicked over the ladders
From the start
You used to be my lover
You used to be my soul, soul brother
I used to believe
That you could conceive
Conceive with my love
But you let me down slowly
You let me down slow and you turned me around
Let me down easy
Let yourself go, now you're goin' to drown
Baby, baby, can't you see
What this absurdity is doin' to me?
We should've kicked over the ladders
From the start
There's no equality
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
No one supposes just how mean I can be
I play the victim and I really care
And all I've ever wanted is
Everything I'm gonna have
There's no equality here
There's no equality on earth I fear
There are so many [Incomprehensible]
The boss and the border
It's me or it's you
That's why I let you down slowly
Let you down slow and I turned you around
Let you down easy
Let myself go, now we're both set to drown
Baby, baby, can't you see
What this futility is doin' to me?
We should've kicked over the ladders
