There’s some sort of bodywork missing for the filming process, but yes they were terribly dangerous. Their feet were ahead of the front wheels. Most drivers didn’t go 100% all out all of the time back then due to the dangers with those cars.
I didn't know about the "legendary coldness", but for a driver to suffer such a shocking accident, and then continue to compete later that year, then win the following year, and get a 3rd title in 1983, Lauda has to rate as one of the bravest, most determined, and best drivers ever. A true legend of the sport, no less.
Lauda era um monstro de piloto de formula1. Esse Austriaco nasceu duas vezes depois do acidente de Nuburgring para ser. Tri.campeao.
Thanks for sharing
No problem!
Damn, there is nothing in front of him, just the steering wheel !
The drivers were super exposed back then, seems more apparent in this without the front body work on the car

@@trappenweisseguy27had to be a lot crazy during those times and also have “big balls” as James Hunt would say
Österreichring was then knew as Zeltweg.
Rare is good
Indeed! I’ll see if I’m able to source more rare onboard footage
Lauda's legendary coldness will always be an inspiration.
In what way?
