Lauda praises Verstappen after first win (Barcelona 2016, RTL) [English CC]

Despite the double DNF of both of his cars in lap 1 Lauda is quite happy about the victory of Max Verstappen.

I don’t think most people fully appreciate what Niki is saying here, when Niki says this about your driving you are doing something very very right.

[Maximilian_Ingrosso]

It’s sad that niki won’t see Max become a world champion

[methardris]

Thank you niki, for these loving words for max. Rest in peace you will always be remembered!

[JvD]

all the hamilton fans are hating on Max, but Niki Lauda is telling how good he is

[BackpackersCompass]

Who's watching this 5 years later with Max Verstappen as world champion? 🦁🏆🏁

[DeMoura]

7 years later. 40 wins in the same track and with a Grand Chelem ❤❤❤ Max is truly the talent of the Century. For your Niki 🕊️

"Was der Vater alles richtig gemacht hat mit diesem Buben, ist eine unglaubliche Leistung. Erstens einmal die Gene, die er ihm da in seine Mutter hineingeschossen hat, war ja mal GIGANTISCH" - Niki Lauda, über Jos Verstappen

Ich kann nicht mehr...😂🤣
Du unsterbliche Legende NIKI!❤ RIP

[usedtoexistonce]

[koen]

A legend talking about a future legend. Thanks Niki

[wimfranken]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for your always spot-on commentary. We will always miss you and your nice analysis. R.i.p.

[sebastiankrznaric]

He would be so proud of Max today. 12.12.21.

[hendrikcampioni]

for all people who say Max is just a average driver listen to this legend!!!!

[curt]

WHEN I MET JOS A FEW YEARS AGO IN A HOTEL LOBBY, I WENT STRAIGHT UP TO HIM and I QUICKLY SAID...."I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU ON A GREAT JOB YOU HAVE DONE WITH YOUR SON! " JOS SMILED and SAID..." THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS "

[jordyschoenmakers]

if Niki had been alive, this would never have gotten so out of hand. Niki would never have allowed it to become such a theater. It is normal for tension and emotions to rise, but remain of the opinion that they have crossed the line at Mercedes.

[magicbuddha]

RIP, Niki. We miss your comments in F1.

[Toxici]

niki most be now smiling in heaven about max becoming the F1 WorldChampion! Niki RIP

[gijzje]

I bet Niki would 've loved the fact Zandvoort was back on the calendar because in 1985 It was the last race he won, It is a pity he missed that...

[tombystander]

God I wish this man was still with us🙌

[pascalnast]

I ll bet he smiled in heaven when Max became World Champion.RIP nikki
