Lauda apologizes to Ferrari

Niki Lauda has decided to apologize to Ferrari president Luca di Montezemol for his harsh description of this year’s Maranello race car.

"I apologize to Ferrari, Luca di Montezemol and all the fans of the Italian team. I acted wrong, but I am not looking for excuses. I called Luca and explained to him that I regret my statements.

Lauda: Hamilton is invincible!

formula 1

Niki Lauda, the non-executive director of Mercedes, said Lewis Hamilton is invincible after recording his fourth consecutive victory in Spain. Although teammate Nico Rosberg narrowed the gap slightly towards the end of the race, Hamilton, who started the race from the best starting position, was not even attacked. With the fourth victory, the Briton took the lead in the overall standings of this year's championship. “Lewis is invincible, we can say that without hesitation,” Lauda is convinced.
