Сообщество всемирного моторспорта отдает дань уважения трехкратному чемпиону мира Формулы-1 Ники Лауде.
Лауда, чемпион мира 1975, 1977 и 1984 годов, скончался в возрасте 70 лет в окружении своей семьи, сражаясь с проблемами со здоровьем в течение последних 12 месяцев.
Совсем недавно он служил в качестве ключевого члена управленческой команды «Мерседес» в течение еще не побитого титульного периода в гибридной эпохе.
Queen of Motorsport собрала лишь некоторые из многих сообщений в социальных сетях:
