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.

[@JvD1985]

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

[@CanadainElmo]

Even more so today

[@Funeeman]

TRUE motorsports fans don't need to be "hating on" any driver. Those of us who have followed motorsports for nearly 50 years only get angry when drivers cross the line of driving etiquette. Two former F1 drivers provoked this anger in me.

[@Timetosleep912]

[@luffararnesugerkuk]

Yeah, right into another racing driver, 2 drivers came together to create this wonder of a racing driver. Me too used to dislike him, ok honestly hate him. But see, I did learn that hate is wasted energy, so could others. Today I love watching that young man drive a F1 car, I knew already back in Brazil 2016 I was watching something really special, was just blinded by my "dislike" for him. Total waste of time and energy, that level of skill must be appreciated, enjoy watching him do things with the car and utilize car control most can only dream of.
