The great Niki Lauda would have celebrated his 74th birthday on this day, so it's the perfect opportunity to post this wonderful shot of the three-time F1 world champion sitting and smiling in a McLaren, balaclava on his head in typical period Lauda style.
The late non-executive chairman of the Mercedes F1 team still has his lone red star stamped on the bodywork of the Brackley squad's machines. Because he's still in everyone's heart.
Happy birthday Niki! We miss you...
