He just misses being a part of the pitlane, a few controversial words to get some attention and feel that rush all over again...

If he wants a piece of the action, he should make a comeback in the Brabham fan-car from 1978. :D

What 7UpJordan said about Huub Rothengatter in ''Behind the Helmet'' I looked him up and Lauda said that he was a "rattengott" - literally "God of the rats". :shock:

Apparently it was Lauda that placed the phone call to Ron Dennis to tell him Adrian Newey was about to sign with Jaguar (Bobby Rahal), which gave enough time for Ron to stop the deal from going through...

Which didn't really stop it, just delayed it. He works there now.

Did Lauda have it in for Newey, or was he a$$kissing for a Mclaren job, or what? No wonder he gets called a rat!

I think Lauda knew Rahal was brought on to get Newey to Jaguar, by helping Dennis keep Newey that allowed Lauda to become team boss...

Did you guys catch wind of Lauda's retrenchment payment after Ford decided to get rid of him? I think it was in the region of 20 million dollars...

Knives in the back and greed, don't you just love F1...
