Jackie Stewart praises new F1 film Rush (The Telegraph)

Niki Lauda’s Courageous Comeback (F1 Speedwriter)
Niki Lauda on the 1976 Italian Grand Prix, his first race after his near-fatal crash at the Nurburgring Nordschleife: “I was fourth in the race which some people thought was quite good. But I hid the truth. In practice I was rigid with fear. Terrified. Diarrhoea. Heart pounding. Throwing up. Being scared is intolerable. I told myself you can’t drive a car like that. So I waited quite consciously for the car to slide and began with the precision work of handling the drift. After that it was not so hard. The worst was behind me. I had crossed the threshold and was once more at my normal rate.”

Prep for Singapore starts tomorrow. Great track, let’s hope it will be a success like last year.

Comment of the day
@Foleyger’s thoughts on Rush. Add your review of the film here.
The opening scene was superb at the Nurburgring. Both Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth were excellent. I thought it was superb. The scenes after Lauda’s accident just showed how incredible it was for him to come back six weeks later.
