That was just perfect. Nailed it completely. However Daniel uses more gestures and head nods (also in his role as Baron Zemo in Marvel Universe) whilst the real Lauda is more calm and moves less.
That's the highest compliment you can hope for from an Austrian or German. But to be fair the subtitle is not completely accurate, he said more like "very nice" car
I laughed so hard....”Grandma says it’s a bomb on four wheels” lol!!! Niki Lauda is by far my favorite F1 driver EVER. He was so focused, dedicated, and pushed himself to excellence. He truly emulated what F1 is all about!
@ryo ga they didn't have turbos at the time, so zero boost. And actually, that would help in letting it go faster. And yeah, each cylinder is quite a bit smaller than your typical cylinder displacement. All of that, plus having really really good engineering and just being hella precise. Those engines were tiny compared to how much power they can make.
@ryo ga nah the limits are 14.500 cuz of the rods ska crank shaft back in the days 12.500 was ths holy range to keep it healty not overheating it was natural asprated engines, with open valves basicily it was a bomb on wheels, we have bike engines that rev up to 18k, but this is only for short period of time,
I think people underestimate the achievement of winning two more titles after that crash in Germany. To even finish the season was so incredibly brave. One of the greatest drivers the world has ever seen.
Herr Lauda mentioned his hatred of seeing James Hunt win races he should be in gave him the motivation to endure pumping fluid out of his lungs while conscious. Racing helmets are EXTREMELY tight fitting so imagine the pain he endured simply idling. I think he also made the statement that it was good he was burned, because now he didn't have to worry about sweat getting in his eyes. Massive stones on that one.
This video is pure Gold and here you can see how mechanical Lauda was as a driver. Those who understand the machines well are usually the best drivers. RIP F1 Legend.
I don’t understand of what he’s saying but he’s so matter of fact the way he says it Heat sensor installed for fire extinguisher after Nürburgring The accident that nearly left you dead.. Niki you were a hero
@@avada0 Alright, my primary language is Italian, but really 3 words to point out a shifter? Man, English was much simple not long time ago. In Italian we have one word: “cambio”.
Cool stuff! You really hear of his almost commanding tone about serious commitment to racing. No wonder he is one of the best drivers ever. Specially on technical note maybe the best of all.
Cmon. Bruhl portrayed Lauda as some socially über--awkward damn serious autist Niki NEVER was. The real Niki Lauda was funny and easygoing and got very well along with James Hunt from their F3 days onward. They were the best pals in F1 and the rivalrity was NOT such an angry and bitter one, like in the movie.
Niki is my hero... I remember well some comparision from my teacher in my years at school of fine arts. At the end of school we were preparing our painting diplomas. Mine was huge canvas about racing. And he said: (my full name), Niki Lauda of polish painting. :D and after that I have finished my aerospace eng studies...and during that I was thinking about Lauda's airlines. Now I am working about my own car project and Lauda is still present in inspirations.
This man (R.I.P.) is a god damned LEGEND. There's never been a more cool and collected driver in F1. Also, there probably has never been, before or since, a better driver when it comes to setting up the car and technical feedback
1:24 The fire extinguisher that never works even on current cars. It's never engaged manually and apparently there's no heat sensor either, cars just keep burning.

Niki ers un grande collaudatore, un pilota superlativo, con un grande senso di sopravivenza. Inoltre era di una intelligenza e determinazione unica. Sin da giovane era un filosofo e un pilota di macchine di corsa. Anche molto spiritoso. Grande Niki...mi manchi tanto.💯🌸💗🌺
I CANT BELIEVE THIS TRUE. I'm just confused and my jaws are dropped. I just watched Rush for the first time (which is a shame, i should have watched it first than Ford V Ferrari). It feels like this is Daniel Bruhl in 2012 and the camera is just different lol.
How can anyone dislike this guy, seriously his stoic no-nonsense mindset and his very dry humor sense, his insane professionalism.... no wonder why everybody admired him back then and guys like Hunt always wanted to be close to him, even when they were so different, this guy is what a race driver should be, and that was true back then and today in the same way
Exactly! That is why Dr. Marko was one of his best friends ever. (Not only on track - same mindset) They think the "same" and try always to say the clear, direct truth. You may like this kind of personality, or not. (Me as an Austrian appreciate it) As M.V. is thinking the same way. Otherwise he would never came along with Marko this long time.
0:23 Definitely only fitted for a precise man like Lauda. I'd certainly would constantly hit it accidentally a couple of times because I'm a person that loves to fiddle with my thumbs and rest them in the middle when driving. (In the hypothetical scenario that I would have been an F1 driver of Lauda's caliber in that time).
Unser Niki, Gott hab ihn selig. Nach seinem Feuerunfall auf dem Nürnburgring setzt er sich unverdrossen wieder zwischen 300 Liter Benzin. Mut kann man sich wirklich nicht kaufen.
That's true, I feel like Vettel was the very last of his kind. The type of driver that knows the car just as well as the engineers. Nothing against the new generation of drivers or modern F1 in general but I feel most of them are just there to drive the car and let their engineers tell them what to do
I used to ofren fantasize about how it feels to drive these old racing machine like LM cars or old rally cars, I would really like to know that feeling, but not these old formulas. Those guys had to be utter utter maniacs to climb into these fragile bombs and pushed it hard. You really had to have some guts to race these fast coffins.
It is not a rev limit switch. It may be an adjuster to lower the rev limit under certain circumstances (IE: big lead late in race and you want to preserve the engine and/or fuel. There was no pit lane speed limit or safety car periods in those days so it isn't for pit speed etc.
Love how there is no emotion or showmanship "Wenn ma 12.6 dreht is er hin, wenn ma 12.4 dreht is er zu llangsam." Like yeah no problem, you got .1 rpm as a sweet spot, of course. My first Hyundai had a sweet spot for throttle and clutch, I think i got this, too
this might seem a stupid question, but can someone explain why he has to brake at an angle with his heel on the accelerator. Something to do with the transmission, but i’m not a great mechanic haha.
The transmission doesn't have synchronizers. Synchronizers help smooth out a gear change by matching the speed of the engine and to the speed of the desired grear. If the transmission doesn't have synchronizers, the driver will blip the throttle to bring the engine speed closer to what is needed for the lower gear. This can be done in any manual transmission car, and will extend the life of the transmission, but it is especially needed if the transmission doesn't have synchros.
In racing you do it with any manual transmission but it's absolutely required if you don't have synchros. When you shift down the engine rpm will always increase, the engine will resist increasing rpm and when racing at already high rpms this can be enough to lock up the driven tires, in this case the rears which can cause the car to spin out. The difference in rpm will also prevent shifting at all if your transmission isn't synchronized. Because of this you must bring the engine up to the rpm it will have to be at anyway after the downshift during the time that the clutch is engaged, this way the engine doesn't have to speed up while in gear When shifting down you push the clutch in with your left foot and the brakes with the right but this means that you can't use the throttle. To press all pedals at once you tilt/twist your right foot so you can keep pressing the brakes and clutch while also using the throttle to bring the engine up to the right rpm. This technique is good to use anywhere but a requirement for racing in any manual car or in older road car without synchros. It's called a "heel-toe downshift" and it is a type of rev matching
Das waren noch richtige F1 Fahrer, wenn die heutigen damit fahren müssten, wäre sie nach 10 Runden wahrscheinlich komplett fertig. KEINE Servolenkung, KEIN Automatikgetriebe!
🏎Likes Lauda a lot!😍 .. with his perfect manicured fingernails.😆 But little charm and humor in that type (re. is this a bomb) Does the ''bomb'' have no horns and doesn't have a flashlight either?
"So in other words, you're driving around in a bathtub full of gas that has 500 hp and goes 300+ km/h." "Yeah, but hey, it has an automatic fire extinguisher!"
If I had gone through what this man did, I would never get into one of those gasoline-filled bombs. I get scared just looking at how that thing was built.
Back when F1 race cars were race cars.... nothing fancy just straight up barebones race cars with a few gauges. No sega gamegear style stearing wheels. Back when legends like Niki literally reacted to how the car was performing based off of his body in contact with the car and becoming one with the car lol.. no computer aided systems. Gear shifters actually on the right hand side too and you literally had to take your hand off of the steering wheel to shift gears lol. Now the paddle shifters are on the steering wheel. I wonder how the current champs like Lewis Hamilton would do if he raced in this era of F1 with legends like John Watson, James Hunt, Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda.. guys who were literally willing to kill themselves and push their machines to the limit just to win.
Well you can actually find footage of I think Senna’s onboard from Monaco in 1987 and most of the time his right hand is off the wheel. ua-cam.com/video/sAbAK7Kwq6o/v-deo.htmlsi=rfAW01RmQmJfaNtk Tbh I think a lot of current drivers would be fine with a manual gearbox, especially experienced drivers like Hamilton and Alonso. Maybe Carlos Sainz might do well with rallying in his DNA.
Something this surely shows is that Daniel Bruhl imitated his voice perfectly in Rush.
I so totally agree
Yes
Yeah I noticed this it’s incredible
Yeahhh i think so👍👍
That was just perfect. Nailed it completely. However Daniel uses more gestures and head nods (also in his role as Baron Zemo in Marvel Universe) whilst the real Lauda is more calm and moves less.
“A fine racing car that fulfills its function completely.”
If that’s not the most Niki response I’ve ever heard
that is what I thought
And then he won the title in that car. What a legend 😂
Also the 12500-12500 comment 😂
That's the highest compliment you can hope for from an Austrian or German. But to be fair the subtitle is not completely accurate, he said more like "very nice" car
I laughed so hard....”Grandma says it’s a bomb on four wheels” lol!!! Niki Lauda is by far my favorite F1 driver EVER. He was so focused, dedicated, and pushed himself to excellence. He truly emulated what F1 is all about!
same here
Always funny as hell
History showed us... Grandma was right! And he knows and felt it...
"Maximum is 12.500 RPM. Get to 12.600, you break the engine - if you only get up to 12.400 you're too slow"
What an absolute legend.
@homie beaglePG no they don't actually, they have a limit to 15, but manufacturers don't push it that far, they still stay around the 12k mark
@ryo ga what do you mean, I really don't get what you asked
@ryo ga at one point they did have 18k rpm engines, I guess those were v10s so, yeah, 20k could be possible
@ryo ga they didn't have turbos at the time, so zero boost. And actually, that would help in letting it go faster. And yeah, each cylinder is quite a bit smaller than your typical cylinder displacement. All of that, plus having really really good engineering and just being hella precise. Those engines were tiny compared to how much power they can make.

If they haven't seen the crash, they might. Niki is tied for first in my book. Available NOwhere books are sold.

One of the best racing minds ever to grace the track. RIP Niki.
Reborn in builder buddies
What a masterpiece this deserves way more views, thanks for uploading
That's amazing. Looks like it was recorded yesterday...
I don’t understand of what he’s saying but he’s so matter of fact the way he says it
Heat sensor installed for fire extinguisher after Nürburgring
The accident that nearly left you dead.. Niki you were a hero
wait daniel bruhl sound exactly like his voice
Ikr
Bruhl English was horrible compared to Lauda`s fluent one.
pretty close 🫡
Yep, it's very similar in Deutsch! I don't know the English version of this Film...🤷♂️🤣
Woah I thought I was hearing Daniel Bruhl. So daniel really did well with the accent and voice portraying Lauda.
Bruhl English was horrible compared to Lauda`s fluent one.
Even his relatives thought Lauda did the voice for the movie
Wow! A master course from the maestro himself. Amazing.
"If you go under 12,500, you are too slow."
i bet the Astons this year is definitely hitting under 12,500 Niki.
Omg that gearbox ❤️
You can't see the gearbox. Only the gear shifter stick.
@@avada0 Alright, my primary language is Italian, but really 3 words to point out a shifter? Man, English was much simple not long time ago. In Italian we have one word: “cambio”.
@@MrGilRoland I was going for unambiguity. :)
Cool stuff! You really hear of his almost commanding tone about serious commitment to racing. No wonder he is one of the best drivers ever. Specially on technical note maybe the best of all.
Love Lauda's no nonsense approach to everything. Never seen this clip before. FANTASTIC insight to 1970's F1
0:24 I watched him saying the gear levels a hundred times hahahha
What the hell? Daniel played him perfectly!!!
Cmon. Bruhl portrayed Lauda as some socially über--awkward damn serious autist Niki NEVER was. The real Niki Lauda was funny and easygoing and got very well along with James Hunt from their F3 days onward. They were the best pals in F1 and the rivalrity was NOT such an angry and bitter one, like in the movie.
Such a delight for someone totally nuts about 70s F1. Danke schon !
basically sorrounded by high octane fuel, left and right and back...a bomb on wheel, these men had balls unlike any others
Perfectly said.
Einer der Besten überhaupt. R.I.P. Nicky 👌
It was so good to visit his grave 2 years ago. It doesn't feel real he's already gone. R.I.P.
So much knowledge about these cars...R.I.P legendary driver
Niki is my hero... I remember well some comparision from my teacher in my years at school of fine arts. At the end of school we were preparing our painting diplomas.

He’s observing and talking about the car like he’s known it for years that’s how you know you have a amazing driver in you’re car
This man (R.I.P.) is a god damned LEGEND. There's never been a more cool and collected driver in F1. Also, there probably has never been, before or since, a better driver when it comes to setting up the car and technical feedback
Him and Michael Schumacher.
"Is this a car or a bomb on four wheels?"
*........starts up the engine
1:03 the size of does cars is unbelievable. Imagine driving a car with a size of a sim setup at 300kph...
Unverkennbar! 😆So einen wie Niki wird es wohl leider nie wieder geben.
1:24 The fire extinguisher that never works even on current cars. It's never engaged manually and apparently there's no heat sensor either, cars just keep burning.
i think this is the best video here in youtube that i have ever seen
This was the KING FOREVER !!
You gotta love Niki.
RIP Legend
I miss Niki Lauda. I wish he was still alive and I wish he would come back To Ferrari. #RIPNikiLauda.🏎️🇮🇹🇦🇹
The greatest comeback of all time in sports history.
Holy shit Daniel Bruhl imitated nikis voice so well

Crazy how times have changed and evolved, 12 cylinder for just 500 bhp
3000cc NA engine making 500hp, i.e. 166hp per liter, is still impressive today dude
Why the hell have I never seen this before. Legendary!
that last line goes so hard. rip niki

They weren`t different at all. Both were funny and easygoing guys. The movie portrayed Lauda totally wrong.

Up there with Ayrton….. just imagine them as team mates!

I bet Niki is shouting back then when he can only go 12,499 RPM
Its so great
Imagine it these days. "Here's the engine, have a close look with the camera. Don't forget to check out the pedal box!" Haha
Geil, ein deutscher Kommentar ❤

Grandmothers: 💣💣💣
Niki Lauda: Shut your faces! Fulfill your function!
"the car has three tanks. One on the right, one on the left and one behind me" Read, surrounded by high octane fuel!
I’d love to know where that was shot.
I saw him win with that car, his last win for Ferrari, at Zandvoort in 1977 . . .
12.500 is the max.
if you go over that the engine is dead
You go under 12.500 you are too slow
Rip legend.
A bomb with 4 wheels
The style of Lauda
Legend driver
No Fear!!! #legend
Daniel Bruhl sounds just like him lol

O mais corajoso de todos!!
What a video...
Did anyone else find the fact that there is is switch to turn the rev limiter on / off strange? Why would you want it off? (1:26)
I think it’s a limiter for lower revs, maybe for driving the car at lower speeds in pit lane, who knows
It is not a rev limit switch. It may be an adjuster to lower the rev limit under certain circumstances (IE: big lead late in race and you want to preserve the engine and/or fuel. There was no pit lane speed limit or safety car periods in those days so it isn't for pit speed etc.
Lets do F1 like this again!
this is so meme-mable, i can;t believe F1 meme makers didn't made a sigma grindset meme on this one
I like the Austrian accent
Love how there is no emotion or showmanship
"Wenn ma 12.6 dreht is er hin, wenn ma 12.4 dreht is er zu llangsam."

this might seem a stupid question, but can someone explain why he has to brake at an angle with his heel on the accelerator. Something to do with the transmission, but i’m not a great mechanic haha.
Look up 'heel and toe' shifting
The transmission doesn't have synchronizers. Synchronizers help smooth out a gear change by matching the speed of the engine and to the speed of the desired grear. If the transmission doesn't have synchronizers, the driver will blip the throttle to bring the engine speed closer to what is needed for the lower gear.

To press all pedals at once you tilt/twist your right foot so you can keep pressing the brakes and clutch while also using the throttle to bring the engine up to the right rpm.
This technique is good to use anywhere but a requirement for racing in any manual car or in older road car without synchros.
It's called a "heel-toe downshift" and it is a type of rev matching
What watch is he wearing?
Blimey, 12,500 rpm for 1977 is might impresive!
As far as I remember, the Ferrarivengine had about 500 refs more than the Cosworth.
Has three tanks 210 litres, to my right, left and read. "Oh dear God"

But little charm and humor in that type (re. is this a bomb)
Does the ''bomb'' have no horns and doesn't have a flashlight either?
"So in other words, you're driving around in a bathtub full of gas that has 500 hp and goes 300+ km/h."
"Yeah, but hey, it has an automatic fire extinguisher!"
honestly for most of the video i thought it was pre crash, the front and left side of his face look pretty normal.
If I had gone through what this man did, I would never get into one of those gasoline-filled bombs. I get scared just looking at how that thing was built.
"Issa shitbox"
Back when F1 race cars were race cars.... nothing fancy just straight up barebones race cars with a few gauges. No sega gamegear style stearing wheels. Back when legends like Niki literally reacted to how the car was performing based off of his body in contact with the car and becoming one with the car lol.. no computer aided systems. Gear shifters actually on the right hand side too and you literally had to take your hand off of the steering wheel to shift gears lol. Now the paddle shifters are on the steering wheel. I wonder how the current champs like Lewis Hamilton would do if he raced in this era of F1 with legends like John Watson, James Hunt, Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda.. guys who were literally willing to kill themselves and push their machines to the limit just to win.
Well you can actually find footage of I think Senna’s onboard from Monaco in 1987 and most of the time his right hand is off the wheel. ua-cam.com/video/sAbAK7Kwq6o/v-deo.htmlsi=rfAW01RmQmJfaNtk
Tbh I think a lot of current drivers would be fine with a manual gearbox, especially experienced drivers like Hamilton and Alonso. Maybe Carlos Sainz might do well with rallying in his DNA.
Unglaublich, unfassbar und unfacking schnell!
Bro should have said its his nurburgring crash not any random crash 1:30
He did say nurburgring...
Is he comfortable on the car
you know if Nicki said Ferrari probably had the best trans, then Ferrari had the best trans, because he would have said so if they didn't. lol
