00:04:01For me for example
00:04:02There was no first pilot
00:04:05Because I was trying to put both pilots
00:04:07To the best of their technical ability
00:04:11It's obvious that when there was a much better driver
00:04:15To fix the car
00:04:16I couldn't treat him less correctly, so I had to accept and in this little by little the auda had become
00:04:28of truly high professionalism.
00:04:32We are on the eve of the new 1975 season, we will present ourselves with what 74 has indicated to us, above all we will try
00:04:49to treasure the teachings we intend to capitalize on.
00:04:54We won't repeat this year's mistakes, we'll make new ones, because only those who work make mistakes.
00:05:03Those who write on Monday never make mistakes.
00:05:07From words, even controversial ones, to actions.
00:05:10This is Ferrari's weapon for the 1975 world championship, which will start next January 12th in Buenos Aires.
00:05:16Aires.
00:05:19The new 12-cylinder, codenamed 312P and which we see driven by Niki Lauda on the Fiorano track, was built
00:05:27from the technical trio composed of engineers Forghieri, Bussi and Rocchi.
00:05:32The power of the 12-cylinder horizontally opposed engine is 495 hp at 12,200 rpm.
00:05:40Indirect injection fuel system, 5-speed gearbox plus reverse, four-wheel disc brakes.
00:05:45Length 4 meters and 14, width 2 meters and 3 centimeters, height 1 meter and 27, weight without fuel 575
00:05:53kg.
00:05:57Mauro Forghieri illustrates its original technical features.
00:06:00As the name suggests, 312T stands for transverse.
00:06:07Transversal is the word to indicate that the car has a transverse gearbox, rather than being like in cars,
00:06:15traditionally cantilevered from the rear axle.
00:06:20This gearbox was born in a transverse position and is completely contained between the rear axle and the engine
00:06:27for the attempt to concentrate most of the weights within the axes to reduce the moment of inertia of the
00:06:33car
00:06:34and also to allow for better aerodynamic qualities, especially in the rear part where the spoiler is located.
00:06:41Other peculiarities of the car are the position of the radiators on the sides of the driver's legs
00:06:48for a double function, an aerodynamic issue and also a safety issue
00:06:53to obtain greater protection for the pilot in the event of accidents.
00:06:58Also some aerodynamic shapes that are not unusual but a little different from the usual ones,
00:07:04shapes that were studied in the Pininfarina wind tunnel.
00:07:08There you saw two cars, the one from '74 and the one from '75.
00:07:15Even in '74 Audo could have won the world championship
00:07:20if he hadn't gone off the road at the Canadian Grand Prix on dirt that Mass had accidentally thrown onto the track.
00:07:29I've said before that Mass has always been very negative for us.
00:07:34Then Clay who could have won instead had big problems even with some tests where he had an accident at
00:07:45Watkins Land
00:07:45and unfortunately we both lost the world championship.
00:07:49With the new car which was a completely different car because the one from 1974
00:07:55it was nothing more than a machine at the insistence of the press
00:08:01which had been built and partly designed in England by Thompson
00:08:07who is an exceptional person from that point of view.
00:08:11But it was a car that together with Clay, together with Nichino we had extensively modified.
00:08:16based on what we were learning for the T, the 1975 312T.
00:08:27But we didn't accept and the commander initially pushed me.
00:08:32I was quite harsh and said that the new T car cannot be raced.
00:08:38which has not yet been approved in it tip.
00:08:41In fact I felt a little guilty when we lost the world championship.
00:08:47but it was certainly not the fault of the T which became perhaps the most beautiful car
00:08:52that we did in those golden years.
00:08:58Lauda felt it immediately and said it immediately, he was becoming a great test driver
00:09:04and Mauro said we have something indescribable in our hands.
00:09:08And with the T, Lauda perhaps expressed the most beautiful races of his life.
00:09:15He became world champion.
00:09:18I repeat, I became one because I had acquired so many qualities.
00:09:23He knew how to tune the car, I have to say he was the one who tuned the car
00:09:28a little bit for everyone.
00:09:29And this was accepted by everyone.
00:09:33Commander Ferrari was a little surprised that that T was the result of a machine
00:09:42which I had asked to do using an old machine
00:09:47which I had sawed off, shortening it considerably
00:09:51and body-building it as if it were a prototype.
00:09:55Because it was at the Stuttgart Wind Tunnel that we learned
00:10:00that the prototypes had more downforce than the Formula 1 cars did.
00:10:07Triumph for Michi Lauda's Ferrari in the 33rd edition of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix
00:10:12valid as the fifth round of the world drivers' championship.
00:10:16The Maranello-based manufacturer had failed to establish itself on that difficult circuit for twenty years.
00:10:20Lauda remained practically in command from start to finish.
00:10:23The start was given on a track still wet from the rain.
00:10:27In the initial phase, at the curve of the old station, there were some collisions,
00:10:30some cars touched each other, but the speed was low at that point
00:10:34and the race then went off without any major incidents.
00:10:38Until lap twenty-four Lauda continued the race in first position,
00:10:43closely followed by the Swede Pettersson, the winner of last year's edition,
00:10:46and by Price who had recorded the second best time in the tests
00:10:49and had left alongside the Austrian.
00:10:52Meanwhile, the track conditions had improved with the cessation of the rain,
00:10:56so much so as to induce the technicians of the various manufacturers to replace the tyres.
00:11:00While Lauda changed the tyres of his Ferrari 312T in record time,
00:11:04he soon resumed command, which he had temporarily abandoned,
00:11:09Clay Regazzoni, the other driver from the Modena-based team,
00:11:12he was forced to retire after ending up against Guarrail
00:11:14after a whole series of pit stops.
00:11:20Here is Regazzoni's car,
00:11:22which is lifted by a crane and taken out of the circuit.
00:11:32Meanwhile, behind Lauda, the reigning world champion was gaining ground,
00:11:36Emerson Fitipaldi.
00:11:37His pursuit was tenacious but in vain.
00:11:39The race ended on the 75th of the 78 scheduled laps,
00:11:43at the end of the two hours foreseen by the regulation,
00:11:45with the victory of Michi Lauda.
00:11:53The applause of the Princes of Monaco for Lauda and Ferrari
00:11:57and the thousands of Italian enthusiasts present in Monte Carlo.
00:12:04The car was perhaps also born for Monte Carlo,
00:12:08because Monte Carlo had always been a difficult circuit for us,
00:12:13especially when we were convinced we had to win
00:12:17and instead, for reasons of secondary importance, we were unable to do it.
00:12:22The T was a machine that had a very low polar moment of inertia,
00:12:27he was turning in and out of corners with great speed.
00:12:35And Lauda knew how to choose the most important aspects,
00:12:39I must also say that he had already said it right away,
00:12:43but that Monte Carlo that he won confirmed all his opinions
00:12:49which had previously been said on circuits that were not ideal for the car.
00:12:54The tests for the 46th Italian Grand Prix have concluded in Monza,
00:12:59scheduled for tomorrow.
00:13:00The Ferraris of Michi Lauda and Clei Regazzoni will start on the front row.
00:13:04Lauda averaged 225 and 585 today,
00:13:09while Regazzoni achieved the second best time on the circuit,
00:13:1251 cents behind Lauda.
00:13:15Third fastest for Fittibaldi, at 84 hundredths.
00:13:18Seventh time for Carlos Reutemann
00:13:20and ninth time for Vittorio Brambilla.
00:13:23Attorney Montezemolo,
00:13:24We are on the eve of the decisive race for the title.
00:13:28A now quiet title,
00:13:30but there are many little emotions,
00:13:32many problems that may still arise.
00:13:35Give us a bit of an update on the situation.
00:13:37on the eve of the Italian Grand Prix.
00:13:40Look, given that today is the worst day to talk, I would say.
00:13:44because unfortunately today only clichés are said,
00:13:49some very uninteresting things,
00:13:50which could be resoundingly denied by the facts tomorrow.
00:13:54I would say that the only concrete fact is that Ferrari came to Monza
00:13:59to honor the situation he was in in the world championship
00:14:03and above all to make a good impression in front of your audience.
00:14:07That is, Ferrari didn't come to Monza to speculate on half a point.
00:14:10what is missing to mathematically conquer this much-desired title.
00:14:16I would say that the only fact is that Ferrari is on the front row today.
00:14:20with both cars, which has a good advantage over the closest pursuers
00:14:25and that Reutemann, who is the only competitor still theoretically capable
00:14:31to be able to take this World Cup away from us, is quite far from us.
00:14:38Niki Lauda further improved his time, which puts him in first position.
00:14:43Niki, are you leaving to win the championship or to win the race?
00:14:48First I leave to win the championship because for me it is not possible to just think
00:14:54for the race, for me the championship is important, but it depends on Reutemann's position.
00:15:01And if Regazzoni took the lead, would you be happy, would he take points away from Reutemann?
00:15:06Yes, that's fine, when Klee is in the lead it's not a problem for me, only Reutemann is important for me
00:15:11Tomorrow.
00:15:11For example, when Reutemann stops after two or three laps, I race to win.
00:15:17When Reutemann doesn't stop, when Reutemann has a theoretical chance to win, I only run for Reutemann.
00:15:24Today you also tried with a full tank, is the car okay?
00:15:27Yes, I tried with a full tank, my time was 34-2, the car was like without gas, very good.
00:15:35I didn't change anything because the car is very good.
00:15:38Are the tires okay too?
00:15:39The tyres are also good, it's just a little bit hot, but it's not too much, for tomorrow it's not a problem
00:15:44for the tires.
00:15:45Let's say, if Reutemann wins and you don't finish in the top six, what would you do for the United States?
00:15:54The possibility is also very good for the United States, this is not a problem for me.
00:15:59Only I want to finish this championship in Monza, in Italy, for Ferrari and for all Italians.
00:16:05I have to say that Nicchi was absolutely not under pressure in that championship, especially at the Grand Prix of
00:16:15'Italy.
00:16:16Of course he would have liked to win the world championship and especially to win at Monza,
00:16:24but my feelings were extremely particular, you know that I tried to never appear at the Grand Prix, especially
00:16:34the awards.
00:16:35When I was forced to speak to those who interviewed me it was because they were arriving and Commander Ferrari had told them,
00:16:43then I was forced to speak, but I had very direct feelings with the pilots.
00:16:51I would have felt if Auda was under pressure because she would have let me know.
00:16:58Instead, with me, for example in Monza, we talked about the very beautiful girls who were there,
00:17:04of the magnificent pasta we had eaten, how we would spend the evening,
00:17:09if his timekeeper, who was his girlfriend, had behaved well, then he had absolutely no pressure.
00:17:19He was very self-conscious and above all confident that the machine would give him everything he needed.
00:17:28he needed
00:17:29to be competitive and win.
00:17:31Complete triumph for Ferrari here at Monza, with Niki Lauda now framed as world champion
00:17:39and third place and victory for Clay Regazzoni.
00:17:44The Ceccarelli line is yours!
00:17:47There is naturally an atmosphere of great joy here now for this title which arrives after 11 years.
00:17:54and for this second victory in Monza after 5 years.
00:17:57There is the engineer Forghieri and the lawyer Montezemolo who hug each other almost crying,
00:18:02actually crying, now let's hear what lawyer Montezemolo says.
00:18:12What's your opinion?
00:18:17I hope the engineer listens to us, I want to tell him on behalf of everyone that we dedicate this victory to him.
00:18:26because he deserves it more than anyone else and at this moment I would like to say nothing else.
00:18:31In short, seeing Clay win was an immense pleasure,
00:18:37also because Clay, a big Italian Ticino boy, was considered an Italian in Monza.
00:18:44There was a runway invasion that had rarely been seen up to that point.
00:18:49and it was mainly Italians who welcomed him.
00:18:54It was a day that gave us immense pleasure because he is world champion,
00:19:00Marche is world champion with Auda and also such an important victory for Clay
00:19:06who won practically in what he considered a bit of his home, where he grew up.
00:19:14And so it was probably an unrepeatable day for us.
00:19:19I don't think there have been any since that were so joyful from all points of view.
00:19:26because it had been easy to get to that point and also a little, as one might say,
00:19:33things had favored us and for us it was very important.
00:19:37So we were happy and so truly happy on the racetracks
00:19:42that when you are, you have to make the most of it.
00:20:04Thank you all!
00:20:21Thank you all!
00:20:51Looking at these pictures
00:20:55I'm glad to know how it all went.
00:21:01It was a particularly bad day for Formula 1, it had rained, the track was wet
00:21:07and I want to remember that it was a particular track, over 21 km, so it was not so easy to get to where there were
00:21:17problems, etc.
00:21:18The track had started to dry out and rightly everyone was fitting slick tyres because it meant preparing to be competitive.
00:21:29Nicky came to the pits, changed the tyres, back then there weren't those systems today to make them warm, one if
00:21:37it heated itself.
00:21:39Nicky left and probably because we certainly never managed to find anything, but I'm sure that when he
00:21:52he made the left turn
00:21:56he went out with the left wheels from the track and there was also a stone there among other things that
00:22:02then we saw him
00:22:02and there he lost control of the car because the slick tires did not give the grip they should have given,
00:22:10especially in a phase of asymmetry
00:22:13as it happened on that bend. Gilles was hit while doing a nose-to-tail and caught fire, then it was
00:22:22perhaps the worst enemy for us in Formula 1.
00:22:27I must say, however, that everything went very well because the pilots involved all proved to be ready.
00:22:38to help Nicky to save him
00:22:41and the one who did the most was an Italian called Arturo Marzario.
00:22:47Nicky Lauda, who is admitted to Mannheim hospital and is currently in intensive care, is still in very serious condition.
00:22:55At this time, the burns, which are third degree, are not so much a concern as the condition of the lungs.
00:23:02We recall that yesterday at the time of the accident beneficial gases, smoke, fire were released and all this entered the lungs of the
00:23:10Austrian champion.
00:23:12To get the latest news from Mannheim on Lauda's condition and also to hear Merzario's voice
00:23:19he was among the pilots
00:23:20who helped Nicky Lauda, I'm now connecting to Milan where Poltronieri is. Hello?
00:23:25Yes, so the conditions are indeed extremely critical but stable. What happened is a bit of a repeat of the
00:23:32Bandini case,
00:23:33we hope that the outcome is not the same, that is, a critical situation, but as Professor also pointed out
00:23:39Krauss
00:23:39who heads the intensive care unit at the Mannheim University Hospital where Lauda is hospitalized,
00:23:45you have to wait at least 15 days to know what the outcome will be and therefore you will also have to wait at least one day to intervene
00:23:52week.
00:23:52The causes of the accident are still unknown. I spoke with Arturo Merzario a short while ago.
00:23:58who gave us an exclusive interview for Tg2 on how he intervened to save Lauda
00:24:03and he said he himself doesn't know what to say. He expects the spectators present to be able to share some photos.
00:24:09or some footage of the accident.
00:24:12So I can say that I have arrived at the Adenau point, it is about half way after the pits,
00:24:20I found some marshals waving yellow flags which indicate to the driver to get in good conditions
00:24:28such as to be able to stop in the shortest possible space. In fact, beyond the curve I found myself in front of
00:24:35me
00:24:35a rather scary sight as there was a car in the middle of the road completely on fire
00:24:42and the others stopped like this, one on one side and the other on the other street. At that point, since they are decisions
00:24:50that are taken
00:24:50in hundredths of a second as our job indicates, our profession of driving a car in gana
00:24:56I decided to stop and see if it was possible to bring some help to the imprisoned pilot.
00:25:07In fact my first attempt to enter the flames to try to extract Niki Lau from his burning Ferrari
00:25:15I had to give up because the fire was so hot that I honestly have to say there was a moment
00:25:24of fear for me too.
00:25:27Then seeing Niki trying to get agitated and screaming for help
00:25:35perhaps this was precisely the stimulus to make us understand not only me but also the colleagues present
00:25:44that it was Eduard Sertra who was still trying to do what he could. In fact, after several attempts
00:25:50to be able to extract Niki from the vitacle which failed and we succeeded again once again
00:25:59as Ertler took a fire extinguisher and made a kind of path, a road
00:26:08and with Eduard Sertra we managed to extract Niki from the vitacolo. The biggest problem however was the fact
00:26:14that we couldn't unfasten his seat belts that kept him trapped in the body
00:26:20of the car in the passenger compartment. Otherwise I think that instead of having taken, if I say 50 seconds
00:26:28a minute was perhaps less, perhaps it was more also because in those moments the seconds seem
00:26:34an eternity. I told myself we managed to extract it and we laid it on the asphalt, on the ground
00:26:42a few meters away from the still burning car. I immediately tried to take off his overalls,
00:26:50the shoes, the helmet was removed to see a little to give him a little more breathing space as
00:26:57he was still aware of everything that was happening, in fact he asked me, first in English
00:27:05I spoke to myself, but unfortunately I don't speak English very well, so I made myself
00:27:09recognize that I was Arturo, who then spoke to me in Italian immediately asking me
00:27:15what was the condition of his face and hands, I tried to reassure him by saying
00:27:22which in short was nothing to worry about, also because I don't see what other solution I could have found
00:27:26have. Arturo Merzario has always been a pilot, and above all, an extremely generous man.
00:27:33in his life, not only in the case of Lauda in particular where he was perhaps the one
00:27:40who had more courage than the others because if I was told well and I believe it
00:27:47he was able to unhook the seat belts which were the big problem to get out
00:27:53and also the Englishman who was trying to create a less hot area with a fire extinguisher, anyway
00:28:03those three men there worked a miracle because if they had left for a few more
00:28:10minute inside Niki Niki would not have been saved, while instead in that way even if with some
00:28:17wounds that he still carries, we still see him today with his wounds, which he is proud of
00:28:23among other things, I wouldn't be very proud of it but he is and he has reason to be because
00:28:29he was able to cope with the rest of his life as a pilot while still demonstrating what he
00:28:36had passed. 5.45 pm, Niki Lauda after about forty test laps on the track of
00:28:43Fiorano gives itself up to the cameras and microphones of radio and television journalists.
00:28:52Away from the car, away from the car.
00:28:59Niki Lauda, Niki Lauda, please read this very short statement in Italian.
00:29:07Thank you so much for the great interest you have shown me. Today I did 30 laps and with
00:29:14I was satisfied with my future possibilities. Tomorrow I will go to
00:29:20Salzburg for a general medical checkup. Then I'll be in Monza after the regulatory medical.
00:29:27I will do the Grand Prix tests to definitively ascertain whether I will be able to participate
00:29:33at the Italian Grand Prix. Thanks again to everyone, and I ask you to convey my grateful regards.
00:29:38Greetings to Italian athletes.
00:29:40When will the decision be made? Today. Did the test go well for you, obviously? Yes, I shot today,
00:29:52Everything's fine, I'm at Monza. So you expect to be at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza?
00:29:58For me, that's my first Grand Prix after the accident. I didn't come to Monza to win,
00:30:04I have Monza for my first Grand Prix to ride and then we'll see.
00:30:08To defend the title against Ant. Defend the title maybe a little in Italy, maybe in Canada.
00:30:16or in Watkins Glen. However, Regazzoni and Reutemann will also try to protect it.
00:30:23from Ant's attack. We see it. They promised it.
00:30:28What is it that they promised? It's very promised, very promised.
00:30:31I don't know, I haven't spoken to them. He says he doesn't speak to them.
00:30:34No, he says Regazzoni and Reutemann have promised they will defend Auta from Ant.
00:30:40Oh yeah? Yes. Oh, everything's fine.
00:30:42So you assume you can keep the title?
00:30:46But let's see, I understand, that's a difficult question today. Let's see, we'll talk after Monza.
00:30:50Auda showed great courage and determination because he had not been able to accept the fact
00:31:00that Enzo Ferrari, the commander, was looking for, first with Peterson and also with another,
00:31:09then later with the pilot he hired, he tried in this way to defend L'Auda's position.
00:31:17Auda didn't see it that way, he saw it as if Commander Ferrari had already decided that he was a
00:31:23finished pilot.
00:31:25In my opinion, I was deeply against Nicchi taking part in the Monza Grand Prix.
00:31:33I remember that when he took off his helmet he was still bleeding, but it wasn't so much the blood, it was the wound.
00:31:40Those are things, in my opinion, of secondary importance.
00:31:43But this human stress that he had undergone had not allowed him, in my opinion,
00:31:51Always remember that when I speak I say what I think, which may not necessarily be the truth.
00:31:57For me he hadn't recovered that psychological determination,
00:32:02so he was then unable to face the final test,
00:32:07which was the one he had to face at the Japanese Grand Prix.
00:32:18But do you spend the day, the whole day here?
00:32:22No, not so much.
00:32:24When we see Ferrari coming, we run down to see Nicchi Lado, who is racing and racing.
00:32:30What is your name?
00:32:31Rota Giorgio.
00:32:32But can you speak?
00:32:33Were you able to speak to anyone at Ferrari?
00:32:36Well, not with some, but last night I had to serve them anyway,
00:32:40so I work here too, I had to serve them and I had to speak for them.
00:32:44But are you a little excited or not in these calls?
00:32:47Do you like James Hunt or not?
00:32:49No.
00:32:50Why? Because he's Ferrari's enemy?
00:32:53Yes.
00:32:54Do you really dislike him?
00:32:56Yes.
00:32:56Much?
00:32:57And the most likeable of the Ferrari drivers?
00:32:59By Claudio.
00:33:09And the most likeable of the Ferrari drivers?
00:33:53Listen, Nicchi, how did you find yourself back in a racing car in an autotrope like the one in Monza?
00:34:02No, I am very happy because I have worked too much since that day today, because I want to come back very much
00:34:10fast.
00:34:11Listen, Nicchi, why this return so quickly, so quickly?
00:34:17No, I don't want to stay in my house, in bed, I see people say, I want to work.
00:34:22And I worked very well together with the tractors.
00:34:27That's the possibility, the return is very fast.
00:34:30Listen, Nicchi, there's been a lot of controversy about your return.
00:34:34And they say, the car wanted to return so soon to show that the first one is still afraid of losing
00:34:41the place and all these stories.
00:34:43That's very stupid, when for me it's just the possibility of returning, when I'm 100% fine.
00:34:49I'm 100% fine now, I'm going back now.
00:34:52Listen, are you happy only in one car?
00:34:55Yes, no, I'm happy with life too.
00:34:59Listen, I still want to know one more thing from you, but they say that a pilot, when he had an accident with the
00:35:06fire, after that it's a fact that remains, a sort of psychological block.
00:35:11For example, you went around today.
00:35:13No, not for me, because I don't remember the fire, for me it's all fine.
00:35:19Marleni, are you happy with Nicchi's return?
00:35:21Happy, very happy.
00:35:24Very happy.
00:35:25Do you like racing?
00:35:26The races?
00:35:27Yes.
00:35:27I didn't see them, I didn't see them at all.
00:35:30Normally?
00:35:31Yes.
00:35:32Do you like them or not?
00:35:33Yes, I like it, I like that Nicchi is wanted.
00:35:36But before meeting Nicchi, did you go to watch the races?
00:35:40Never.
00:35:40No, did you ever ask Nicchi to leave, to stop racing?
00:35:46To finish running?
00:35:47No, never.
00:35:48No?
00:35:48No.
00:35:48But aren't you afraid?
00:35:49But it's fear, but it's my problem.
00:35:58But it's fear, but it's my problem.
00:36:27But it's fear, but it's my problem.
00:37:07For Nicchi that day was a positive day, because he finished fourth, thus taking some points reducing the benefits that Ant
00:37:19he had had from the race.
00:37:22But, as I said, I congratulated him, he said he couldn't have done better.
00:37:28In fact, he told me that I gave the best I could, I couldn't do more.
00:37:35But for us, because we could not the psychological involvement of such a good driver in the races that he did with that
00:37:52which had happened at Nürburgring, which he could not have immediately erased.
00:37:57Eliminating accidents, especially fire accidents, has always been extremely difficult to achieve.
00:38:07It took a long time, the time that had passed since Nürburgring was not that much.
00:38:14In fact, the subsequent races unfortunately proved it.
00:38:18In particular, the one for which he had to accept losing the world championship in Japan.
00:38:38The Japanese Grand Prix begins in a terrifying atmosphere.
00:38:42Hunt immediately takes command with authority.
00:38:49Lauda, on the other hand, doesn't feel like taking the risk.
00:38:53Fear or the feeling of not having a competitive car at his disposal, as Regazzoni's lackluster performance would later demonstrate.
00:39:03But here we are again at today's race, the Japanese Grand Prix.
00:39:07Honda's world title is put in danger by a risky overtaking attempt by our Brambilla.
00:39:25Lauda suffers in the pits, hoping for the help of luck, the luck that seemed to have abandoned him on August 1st.
00:39:38The ending is dramatic, maybe Hunt should change the tires, but he prefers to take the risk.
00:39:45He refuses to obey the Box's orders.
00:39:48He's in trouble.
00:39:52De Paglie surpasses him.
00:40:04Then the Frenchman also has tire problems and the Italian-American Mario Andretti takes the lead.
00:40:10He will be the winner of this exceptional race.
00:40:19Hunt is forced to stop.
00:40:21He needs to change a tire.
00:40:23He will be third at the finish line.
00:40:25A result sufficient to be the new world champion.
00:40:47Here is the new world champion.
00:40:50A man with a difficult character, perhaps too bold.
00:40:54Undoubtedly a champion.
00:41:15Lauda loses the world title by one point.
00:41:18This year has definitely not been a lucky one.
00:41:22Now in Maranello we will have to work with humility to return to winning ways.
00:41:27There is no time for silly polemics.
00:41:29We need to think about solving the technical and human problems that plague the Ferrari clan.
00:41:35I lived these moments that you showed me with a bit of pathos because things are very
00:41:45more complicated than we can imagine from the images.
00:41:52Niki had been in the middle of a series of meetings with the various drivers because the track conditions were
00:41:59truly disastrous.
00:42:01It was a track that was almost never used, full of potholes that had filled with water.
00:42:06And many of the pilots, I must say, had perhaps even played a little with Niki, especially the English ones.
00:42:16and many have said but we're not leaving, we're absolutely not leaving, the conditions are truly disastrous.
00:42:23There were also journalists who insisted on this point of view.
00:42:27Then when at a certain point, a few minutes before the start, the various team managers said in the car,
00:42:34they all got into the car, even Niki, even though he had been convinced until just before getting into the car,
00:42:43that we probably wouldn't have started.
00:42:46And he told me this too.
00:42:48I said, look, you think it was a miracle, you're right, but you'll see that you'll all leave.
00:42:54The important thing is that you have a fair race because after all Mr Hunt has to get a lot of points for
00:43:02to overcome you
00:43:03because he was still leading by two points.
00:43:08The fact is that he started, did a lap, did a first launch lap, then a lap and arrived at the pit.
00:43:17I spoke to him and there were three mechanics with me who heard.
00:43:22And I said to him, Niki, what happened?
00:43:25He says, I don't feel like continuing.
00:43:27I told him, look, we can also say, since we have often had problems,
00:43:33that we had some electrical problems, also because they were traveling in the middle of a sea of water.
00:43:39And he told me, no Mauro, it's me who doesn't feel like facing it.
00:43:45Whatever the track is today, I'm not ready.
00:43:49And I was right there in my mind saying, good God, you see it was true that you had no king.
00:43:54I didn't tell him anything, of course.
00:43:57In fact, he got out of the car and we only had Clay who could have done something to defend Niki.
00:44:06But Clay himself was down.
00:44:08It wasn't the same Clay, also because he had known for a short time that he would no longer be part of the
00:44:14team the following year.
00:44:17And so I even, I think few people know this, left with Niki for the airport.
00:44:27And all the way there and on the way we listened to the radio, because Niki was deeply convinced
00:44:36that for once luck would help him.
00:44:39Because I have to say that until almost the end, when Ant stopped, Ant did not have the points to become champion
00:44:48of the world.
00:44:50It is evident, and this is my opinion, that some of the team managers of the teams
00:44:56who were certainly not friends of Ferrari and Niki Lauda in particular,
00:45:02they managed the race so that some drivers, not the French, I must say,
00:45:07in fact the French behaved a bit like Latins, as we were,
00:45:13they let Ant pass, who got to the point of being able to win the world championship with one point.
00:45:20But the thing is so particular that I know, and many of you perhaps know,
00:45:26There is television evidence that when Ant got out of the car he was furious with his people,
00:45:32so much so that he took off his helmet and threw it against the wall,
00:45:36because he didn't know he had become world champion.
00:45:40He didn't even realize that they had helped him become this.
00:45:44and Lauda learned he had lost the world championship just minutes before arriving at the airport,
00:45:51where together we took a plane back to Europe.
00:45:56I must say that I had to do this, because I had seen a man particularly touched.
00:46:02from having had to deal with, as one might say, his negativity,
00:46:11which he would never have believed.
00:46:14He was also a man who was good with water, so among other things it was strange for him.
00:46:18But his ability to say in front of everyone
00:46:24It was me who didn't have the courage to finish the race in those conditions,
00:46:29perhaps he has become a bit of a hero,
00:46:33because a pilot who is stopped to have been afraid,
00:46:37but wanting to continue,
00:46:39it's not that usual, at least from my point of view.
00:46:47I chose the profession of pilot to discover the best in myself.
00:46:52Becoming world champion is important for the money it brings
00:46:55and it is important for the people who judge us, but for ourselves this is not essential.
00:47:01I wanted to live according to my desires, few people have this privilege.
00:47:06I've always been able to avoid what I didn't want.
00:47:09Happy?
00:47:10Well, sure, I'm happy.
00:47:12This is what Nicky Lauda wrote in his book, published a few years ago.
00:47:17And it is to be believed that he still thinks the same.
00:47:19His words, in light of what happened in recent months
00:47:23and especially today, after regaining the world title,
00:47:27take on a particular meaning,
00:47:29offering perhaps the most logical explanation of the famous divorce.
00:47:34Nicky Lauda succeeds himself in the driver roster
00:47:37which gave Enzo Ferrari the lead in the world of Formula 1.
00:47:41Before him, only Alberto Ascari managed to bring the title to Maranello twice.
00:47:47But what is the difference between the Austrian and the Milanese champion?
00:47:50Times have changed today,
00:47:52from romantic and slightly adventurous motoring to computerized motoring.
00:47:57In both eras, however, the name of Enzo Ferrari always stood out.
00:48:02This is the eighth time that the world of motoring,
00:48:05and maybe not only that,
00:48:07he bows reverently before the boy from '98,
00:48:11a far from yellowed image of what once was
00:48:14he was defined as an Italian genius.
00:48:31That Ferrari is one of the most appreciated Italian names in the world
00:48:35It's been said for twenty years now.
00:48:37For this reason the old king does not accept to share with the young Lauda
00:48:41responsibilities and successes.
00:48:47The Austrian, as Ferrari calls him with the tone used more than a hundred years ago by the Carbonari,
00:48:54he's a smart guy.
00:48:55He undoubtedly deserved the title,
00:48:58overcoming a thousand pitfalls and risking paying with one's life
00:49:01that famous privilege of always being able to do what you want.
00:49:06Lauda and Ferrari will both celebrate their last joint feat this evening.
00:49:12Damned champagne in Watkins Glen,
00:49:15Sauvignon ice cream in Maranello,
00:49:16Please, engineer, don't exaggerate and think about your health.
00:49:20Carefree celebrations therefore because, at this moment,
00:49:23the two are separated by about 7,000 kilometers
00:49:26and from tomorrow there will be a play-off to establish who among them
00:49:30has the right to the role of sole protagonist.
00:49:34Lauda is young and ambitious as well as very good,
00:49:37but he will certainly find meat for his teeth.
00:49:40The old man, in fact, is not the type to back down.
00:49:48We had already won the world championship in Zandvoort,
00:49:53the Dutch circuit,
00:49:56where thanks to one of the Koning men,
00:50:00whose name was Richter,
00:50:01a technician who lived in that area of Zandvoort,
00:50:05we smoke, the only ones who don't change relationships
00:50:07because in the morning the wind was strongly against us.
00:50:11And so practically the relationships that had been chosen the day before
00:50:17with a not so contrary wind
00:50:20they weren't good anymore.
00:50:22Lotus changed them.
00:50:24I believed Richter didn't change them.
00:50:27Furthermore, we managed to have, also thanks to the fact
00:50:30that after all we were the ones who assembled in production
00:50:34the tires of the street,
00:50:36the only train that was available.
00:50:38Lauda made everything count,
00:50:44both the right relationships,
00:50:46while Mario Andretti had to change much earlier
00:50:49because it reached the rev limiter,
00:50:52we won the Grand Prix.
00:50:56And so the world championship was definitely Niki's.
00:50:59What made me very sad
00:51:01it was that a journalist warned me that Niki had signed
00:51:06for Parmalat.
00:51:08And I came closer and he says to me
00:51:09listen Niki, you know that you have always told me things
00:51:13that no one ever knew.
00:51:15Because there has always been a relationship between you and me.
00:51:17But do you really have?
00:51:18And he tells me no, I didn't sign.
00:51:21This was perhaps the thing
00:51:23which saddened me the most
00:51:25in all the dealings I have had with Niki.
00:51:28Because he could have told me.
00:51:30I couldn't have told anyone anything.
00:51:33Even more so the next day
00:51:35it was in all the European newspapers.
00:51:38but that's detailed for me.
00:51:41Also because after all
00:51:42his team
00:51:44and me in particular
00:51:45we had been
00:51:47the juice of his victory.
00:51:50Why make the choice
00:51:52not to change relationships
00:51:54and pretend to have
00:51:56the only set of tires
00:51:57I can tell you after years
00:51:59that you have to fight with a man
00:52:02who I respected very much
00:52:03who was the head of Godiar
00:52:06it wasn't such an easy thing.
00:52:08I still remember it very much
00:52:10and that's the thing that bothered me the most.
00:52:13After all today with Niki
00:52:15I have an extremely valid relationship
00:52:16because we did interviews together
00:52:19we remembered the sad moments
00:52:21the beautiful moments
00:52:22but with the thing there
00:52:24It's always been there on my stomach.
00:52:26I can't take it off, sorry.
00:52:29Good evening, let's start with motoring.
00:52:31It was officially announced today in Rome
00:52:33and at the same time in London
00:52:35the signing of the contract
00:52:36between Niki Lauda and Brabham
00:52:37and at the same time
00:52:39the passage of the English stable
00:52:40from the sponsor Martini
00:52:41at Parmalat
00:52:42with a two-year contract.
00:52:44As second pilot
00:52:45the Illardian Watson remains.
00:52:47The new stable
00:52:48which will have the original BT46 cars
00:52:50equipped with the 12-cylinder Alfa Romeo engine
00:52:52will be presented
00:52:53after the Japanese Grand Prix
00:52:55of next October 23rd.
00:52:56Tonight, in the open studio
00:52:58on Network 2
00:52:58you can have more details
00:53:00on the matter
00:53:01officially started
00:53:02with divorce
00:53:03between Lauda and Ferrari.
00:53:05It was news that really shocked
00:53:07the whole world of sports
00:53:09because everyone considered
00:53:12the Lauda report
00:53:13Commander Enzo Ferrari
00:53:15something indissoluble
00:53:17especially after all the things
00:53:20who had marked
00:53:21that collaboration
00:53:25in positive moments
00:53:27in bad times.
00:53:28but the team we had
00:53:30At that time
00:53:31and I speak when I say team
00:53:33the pilots too
00:53:34they were part of the team
00:53:35it was a team
00:53:37let me say
00:53:38almost perfect
00:53:39it really was
00:53:40a united family
00:53:42that he knew how to have
00:53:43the taste
00:53:45of the things they did
00:53:46because the pilots
00:53:48they knew how to reward her
00:53:49this family
00:53:50they have always known how to reward her
00:53:51Clay, Nicky
00:53:53everyone
00:53:54the others too
00:53:55even the lowest level ones
00:53:57have always been
00:53:59an extremely important part
00:54:01of the family
00:54:02of mechanical technicians
00:54:05of Ferrari
00:54:05also because we lived together
00:54:07the pilots for example
00:54:09they almost never abandoned us
00:54:10Sunday evening
00:54:11they ate with us
00:54:12it was a prize
00:54:14for us to be with them
00:54:15it wasn't in particular
00:54:16for all mechanics
00:54:18Then
00:54:18but that was what
00:54:23the adventure with Nicky
00:54:25which was very nice
00:54:26why do I have to say
00:54:27that from a beginning
00:54:28of a pilot
00:54:29that was going strong
00:54:31but he didn't know yet
00:54:32all the secrets
00:54:34in order to be able to be
00:54:35world champion
00:54:36to a man
00:54:37who even knew
00:54:39change teams
00:54:40to return
00:54:41to be world champion
00:54:42looking at these
00:54:43the latest images
00:54:46I have to tell you something
00:54:48that one day
00:54:48that we are
00:54:49after he had become
00:54:51world champion
00:54:52we had
00:54:53we had moved on
00:54:54and he told me
00:54:55think if I had stayed
00:54:57in Ferrari
00:54:58how many championships
00:54:59of the world
00:54:59I could have won
00:55:01I was pleased
00:55:03because he wanted to tell me
00:55:04that after all
00:55:05we had been
00:55:06always competitive
00:55:07and he had said
00:55:09once
00:55:09you are the team man
00:55:11that we loved the most
00:55:13because we knew
00:55:14that if we gave you
00:55:15a competitive machine
00:55:16you didn't waste anything
00:55:18WIN
00:55:19and I'm happy about it
00:55:21see him today
00:55:22who is always on the slopes
00:55:23in a role
00:55:25completely different
00:55:27and I would also say
00:55:27who is very lucky
00:55:29because he is a manager
00:55:31of the team
00:55:32that today
00:55:33let's say
00:55:34the greatest possibilities
00:55:35of victory
00:55:36although I have to say
00:55:38who is always winning
00:55:39with a double
00:55:41all the grand prix
00:55:42I always see him happy
00:55:44and this
00:55:44It seems fair to me
00:55:45that something
00:55:46you pay him back
00:55:47some wonderful things
00:55:49what he was able to do
00:55:50and of the fact
00:55:51of having been
00:55:52a world champion
00:55:53undoubtedly
00:55:54Despite
00:55:55its harshness
00:55:56loved by his audience
00:56:12the extreme challenge
00:56:14without sentimentality
00:56:15between two men
00:56:16it's over with this hug
00:56:17by Marlene

00:56:35last chapter
00:56:36in history
00:56:37of a pilot
00:56:37which is already legend
00:56:38of motoring

00:56:41and Skeward
00:56:42the boldness
00:56:59the man who survived
00:57:00to himself
00:57:01he wanted to demonstrate
00:57:02of not having returned
00:57:03in Formula 1
00:57:04just for the dollars
00:57:05there is in him
00:57:06an almost sacred fury
00:57:07which allowed him
00:57:08for example
00:57:08to forget
00:57:09an episode
00:57:10like that
00:57:10of 76
00:57:11at Novogrid
00:57:36the Ferrari
00:57:37first love
00:57:38twice
00:57:39allowed him
00:57:40to become
00:57:40world champion
00:57:41in 75
00:57:42and in 77
00:57:43then suddenly
00:57:44the no in Maranello
00:57:46Enzo Ferrari
00:57:46he said that the Austrian
00:57:48he missed the opportunity
00:57:49to become
00:57:49bigger than Fangio
00:57:50the boldness
00:57:51the computer pilot
00:57:52or the risk accountant
00:57:54as they defined it
00:57:55the detractors
00:57:55a perfectionist pilot
00:57:57listen to this conversation
00:57:59with Forghieri
00:57:59in the Ferrari days
00:58:27the second no
00:58:28the second no
00:58:30Canada
00:58:31in Canada
00:58:31in Canada
00:58:31in 80
00:58:32he said no to everything
00:58:33Formula 1
00:58:33because he found it
00:58:34just stupid
00:58:35but the drools
00:58:36from Salzburg
00:58:37they lasted
00:58:37just two years
00:58:38and here we are
00:58:39at 84
00:58:39at McLaren
00:58:40to the challenge
00:58:41with Prosti
00:59:10from Salzburg
00:59:36Everything was decided today in Portugal.
00:59:38Prost takes the lead, he has already lost a world championship like losing a lottery for a number
00:59:43or how to concede a goal in injury time.
00:59:45He doesn't want to repeat himself.
01:00:04But Lauda climbs the rankings with overtaking moves that seem like a waltz.
01:00:09Luck doesn't forget him.
01:00:20Mansell retires with Lotus and Lauda is second by half a point and world champion
01:00:26for the third time in his career.
01:00:28Only Manuel Fangio is ahead with five wins, still him.
01:00:33Prost, who wins his seventh Grand Prix, loses a title he has dreamed of for three years.
01:00:49Sport lives and thrives on these duels, which are naturally completely bloodless,
01:00:54but they too are ruthless and perhaps, in their logic, unjust.
01:00:58Thank you all.
