Niki lauda is 100% correct. Naturally the Hamilton adoration rank and file will disagree.

Who is Niki Lauda?
He brought Ferrari from obsurity back into its championship winning ways. He was the driver that changed f1 because he was the first to approach racing scientifically and build a team around him to focus on the championship.

He won 2 championship titles with Ferrari.

He was not comfortably weened like a baby as was Hamilton - Niki came up the hard way, for despite coming from a wealthy family, they never financed his racing. That risk he took based on his iron self-confidence.

And how strong is he?
He is a driver that came back from death's door, that awful August 1, when he crashed and burned at the real Nurburgring - at Bergwerk.

When the priest was giving him the Last Rites, Lauda reflected afterwards that he wanted to punch the priests jaw, because he, Lauda, was NOT gping die.

Six weeks later, this brave and courageous man, finished 4th at the Italian Grand Prix. When he removed his helmet, his balaclava was soaked red.

For anyone to disparage the comments of Lauda, who incidentally has always been positive and encouraged Hamilton, they deserve nothing but antipathy and contempt from those of us who actually know who Niki Lauda is and have the respect for him that he deserves.

Any racing driver that wants to give up during a grand prix, unless there are exceptional circumstances, is a disgrace to f1.

But then we are all aware, that Lewis Hamilton, is a child, a whimp, and often makes mistakes on the race track.

Compared to tough drivers like Lauda, Webber and Button, he is an embarassment to motor racing.

That he got his "daddy" to whimp him out of the triathlon challenge HE proposed to Jenson Button 2008, demonstrates just wat a pathetic little man-child "lewith" is.
