I didn't know much about Formula 1 until I saw the movie 'Rush'. Its one of my favorites, an had opened my eyes to a lot of things. I left the movie wanting to be as pragmatic and brilliant as Niki Lauda (I failed). He knew what he wanted, how to do it, and execute successfully. Admirable.

I was going to see a F1 race this year (Austin) and hoped to have met the man. It was amazing that he was still out there with his team.

Anyway, here's my favorite scene from the movie.

"Niki Lauda meets his wife" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kl0UBS4ZaM

BTW everytime I heard his name I yell out "Niki Lauda Niki Lauda" like the men in the clip.
