Niki Lauda.

 Was taken ill last week and had to have a lung transplant today. Hope he recovers well. I have utmost respect for the bloke, and his complete lack of bullshit in all he does.

Hope he's OK , he was the bravest of the brave to come back after that dreadful accident that nearly killed him , the damage he sustained to his lungs then has probably finally caught up with him . I know that safety has massively improved in F1 nowadays and no one wants to see people killed in the name of sport but I just can't get away with todays drivers , they look like it's just another day in the office for them .

Slightly off topic, but Riciardo has just announced he is leaving Red Bull to drive for Renault next year. Cant see the sense in that decision personally.  ???

I think he trying a Hamilton, he went from McLaren to Merc when they were not so good.

He is betting on being in factory works team I think.

He'll deny it of course, but wonder boy Max does make him look ordinary.

Probably......Maxxy boy just needs to contain his youthful exuberance a little more, which should come with time.

I disagree. Imo he is second only to Hamilton of the current crop of drivers. Max could be a future legend, but he is nowhere near the full package yet.

I wonder if they will take the opportunity to reconstruct his ear using his old lung. :)

DNA will be a match. :)

As he'll be on anti rejection drugs for the rest of his life anyway, they might as well have stuck the other blokes ear on as well!   ;D

Max Verstappen has the natural skill and instinct but will never fulfil his dreams because he hasn't got (or never will have imo) the temperament and discipline to be a top F1 driver.


Or in gonads language .............. he is a spoilt little t@@t who needs a good slap  :D
