Niki is so gracious, explaining how 'James got his act together.... thats why he became world champion', not his accident, not his Japanese gp retirement. Niki seems like a really good man with a good heart underneath the almost intimidating speed at which his brain functions - even as he gets old.

As the older statesman he's been great with the young drivers. Really great. Strongly suspect he's given Mercedes a lot of crap about strategy the last few years. Wolff hints at, to his credit has probably said "Damn Niki was right" a fair few times. Part of the reason Mercedes so strong now is this young team realised a lot of what the old bugger said still applies. RIP Niki a great Ambassador for racing, and ethics.

Man, Daniel Brühl did amazing job playing lauda. The way he speaks, the mannerism the general visual similarity its like its the actual person in the movie

Lauda had a very weird kind of fondness regarding James Hunt, I feel. Just like maybe calling him an arsehole but in a fond way haha. Great rivals these two.

Rest In Peace Niki now you can race with james again in paradise❤️❤️

I named my son Nicholas because of Nikki Lauder, and to this day 33 years later he loves his cars and motorcycles, inspirational!

What a treat it must have been for Freddy to learn more of his dad from Nicki... For me Nicki was was the unofficial gentleman of F1. Our deepest condolences to Lauder family and friends. His (and James’) legacy will live on through F1

When I saw Niki handshaking Hunt's son on the pit I instantly saw James in him, and the old rivarly from the 70s.. great stuff! Also R.I.P Jules.

Nikki Lauda is always on point. He doesn't satisfy anyone with his words

They had a real honest respect for each other. They both knew they could die any time. different era. Gladiators. Have always held them both with the highest regard.

There was so much fondness and liking for each other with Niki and James.

He’s definitely having a beer with hunt in the sky

What makes me really sad is James Hunt never got to see the movie, and I have so much respect for both of those drivers who I feel really threw F1 on the map at that time, they changed the game forever, I wish he could have seen it!

NK was definitely a kind person, an aggressive professional and now a legend of the sport. On the other microphone, Freddie is definitely Hunt! Nice interview. Thank you.

@5:19 damn James really look like Chris here! And saw some interviews too.. both had almost same voice and accent is spot on.

RIP Niki You will forever be in our hearts

I remember Freddie and Tom..his brother used to play Scalextric with my 2 boys in their bedroom when we all lived in Milland.. West Sussex they were lovely boys and so was Sarah their mum. sad story really for the lads with both parents no longer with us..

May you rest in peace Niki, gone to soon... I was looking forward to seeing you in the Mercedes garage again...

Wow. Amazing how much Freddie looks like his dad. One of the few instances when a son helps to fill the void left by the father because they're so much alike.

What a fantastic driver Niki was and his complimenting James goes to prove what a class act F1 driver James Hunt was in turn. Lauda a true giant ! Bless you Niki and RIP James...

The grace with which Nikki gives the credit to James for being the worthy deserving champion, the best in 76. I've heard and read him saying the same many times. Incredible. The guy missed a chunk of the season and almost died! But he gives credit to Hunt. The GREAT Nikki Lauda folks!!

Absolute bravery and skill. What a man Niki Lauda was.

RIP Mr Lauda. It would be wonderful if somewhere James Hunt jumped out from behind a cloud today and boomed "Nikki.... Let's have that pint". Two legends again united.

Wonderful meeting/talk ❤

Very nice from Niki to say that James was really fast and in the second part of '76 season, because it had an improved car he could win the championship. Go Niki! Go Hunt!

2 legends reunited ❤️ RIP Niki and James

It’s so emotional :( It’s like 1976 again.

amazing resemblance , just like his dad 😊

Rip to both of you amazing drivers

Great vid! Awesome to hear some of the stories from that era.

Hahaha like dad like dad

Rest in peace Niki, god bless a brave man ! 😞

Beauiful testimony.... Great fella Lauda... and handsome Hunt Jr

I miss him. Never met him, but I miss him.

I can totally understand how rivalries turn into friendships. No greater rivalry than Niki vs James. Two of the greatest sports "rock-stars" of racing. And WOW, did Daniel Brühl totally look just like Niki in that movie. What great men of sport car racing. Love them both. Grew up on, in the 70's, and till now on F1 racing. My hero's! Rest in peace Niki and James.

Will be missed by many a LEGEND god rest your soul and bless you Niki.

Niki you are the juggernaut of f1, true engineering in f1 and Ferrari for the time. It was great to see how Freddie inspired to you about his father who really gave you a great challenge outside of the engineering but just in the driving aspect. True respect to you guys and the danger you all took at the time. F1 would always change from those few year to get safer

Hey thanks for this, a good video I watched today.

Now Niki and James, can go around the track again, that god built. RIP niki

I love this man, what a hero.

Great clip, I'm sure Niki knew Freddy as a kid and I doubt it's the first time they've talked. I was too young to see Niki and James race but was lucky enough to see another great rivalry in Senna and Prost and then Schumacher and Hill. It's relationships like those that make any sport great and it's the individuals that carry themselves with grace that honour their sport

2 legends, one there in person and one there in spirit, freddie is an absolute double lol
