Throughout today we're going to be going back through our collection to find the best images we can to tell the story of Niki Lauda and his remarkable career in Formula 1. #RIPNiki
Niki Lauda was born on the 22nd of February 1949 in Vienna, Austria. Despite his family's disapproval, Lauda went into racing. His first drive in F1 was with the March team after he secured a £30,000 bank loan to buy his way into the team. His first race was the 1971 Austrian GP.
