"But I compare him to a poker player who always has four aces in his hand," so 90-year-old for colleagues from Sport1. "He plays poker and the others around him sweat.

Niki Lauda contributed a lot to that, but the Mercedes engine was far more than half the battle,”Adds the popular Bernie. Obtained of course.

It is also noticeable that in the second season he always breaks through. It was different with my father, he was always extremely fast right away. I remember his first appearance at a free practice in Spa, where he broke into the world elite with Jordan out of nowhere. That’s when I rubbed my hands and said to myself, I need a racer like that. Fast, icy cold, disrespectful. Someone who knew exactly what he wanted."
