The Legacy Of Niki Lauda

Niki Lauda may be best known for his championship run in the Formula 1 1976 season against James Hunt.

With his car in flames, he was trapped by his seat belts. Other drivers rescued him from the wreckage, but not before suffering massive burns and inhaling the toxic fumes.
