Niki Lauda

Niki Lauda understood risk better than anyone.

After surviving one of the most devastating crashes in Formula 1 history, he returned to the cockpit weeks later—and eventually won another championship.

But Lauda’s greatness wasn’t emotional. It was calculated. He made decisions based on logic, even if it meant walking away from danger others accepted.

He didn’t need fearlessness.

He needed certainty.

And that made him one of the hardest drivers to beat.
