F1: Ferrari 'deeply saddened' by Lauda death
Ferrari on Tuesday said it was "deeply saddened" by the death of Austrian driver Niki Lauda who won two world championships with the Italian constructor.
"Everyone at Ferrari is deeply saddened at the news of the death of our dear friend Niki Lauda," Ferrari said on its official Twitter account after Lauda, 70, died late Monday.
"He won two of his three world championships with us and will always be in our hearts and in those of all Ferrari fans. Our sincere condolences go to all his family and friends. #CiaoNiki."
Lauda raced four seasons with Ferrari, from 1974 to 1977. He won the world championship with the team in 1975 and 1977.
He was driving a Ferrari when he suffered a horrific crash in 1976, staging a near-miraculous comeback to win two more titles and going on to become a successful entrepreneur, founding his own airline.
