For what it’s worth, this was the main reason why many drivers opted not to wear seatbelts before they became mandatory in 1972. They preferred to be thrown from the car rather than be trapped in what was described by many as “a bomb on wheels.”
@Josiah Oliver Yeah... But Niki Lauda is the scariest because he fought with flames from #hell and he survived until this Monday, while Ayrton Senna immediately passed away after crashing badly on 1 May 1994... 😭

This film should've received recognition for its brilliant sound design! The whole moment from 4:24 to 4:40 got me all shook. Watching this film was one of the best cinematic experiences of my life (thus far). 10/10
@@nikifalconIn real life he did stopped to help but only AFTER Guy Edwards, Brett Lunger, Harald Ertl and Arturo Merzario had already gotten Lauda out of the car
it’s insane that Lauda not only survived this, but went on to make a full recovery and continue racing. Not many people would have had that level of fortitude.
I just saw this movie for the first time and all I kept mumbling was: ''Oh god, Niki, please, UNDO THAT FUCKING SEATBELT, GET THE FUCK OUT, MAYNE!'. Almost gave myself a heart attack. Great fucking movie. 5 bananas out of 5.
Fun fact: the Porsche 911 course car that you see in the background at 4:26 is the actual car that drove to the scene of the scene of the accident back in 1976.
I will never understand how Lauda survived that crash without a HANS device. Honestly! The way that crash happened, spinning and impact included, he should have had some kind of neck injury! Still, it was great seeing him back at the wheel of the Ferrari, but I'm still surprised: he survived a crash that bad without a HANS device...
This very accident was why the FIA never allowed the use of the Nurburgring again for a Formula 1 race until the new shorter course was built some years later.
Not true! >>>In 1973 the entrance into the dangerous and bumpy Kallenhard corner was made slower by adding another left-hand corner after the fast Metzgesfeld sweeping corner. Safety was improved again later on, e.g. by removing the jumps on the long main straight and widening it, and taking away the bushes right next to the track at the main straight, which made that section of the Nürburgring dangerously narrow. A second series of three more F1 races was held until 1976. However, primarily due to its length of over 22 kilometres (14 mi), and the lack of space due to its situation on the sides of the mountains, increasing demands by the F1 drivers and the FIA's CSI commission were too expensive or impossible to meet. For instance, by the 1970s the German Grand Prix required five times the marshals and medical staff as a typical F1 race, something the German organizers were unwilling to provide. Additionally, even with the 1971 modifications it was still possible for cars to become airborne off the track. The Nürburgring was also unsuitable for the burgeoning television market; its vast expanse made it almost impossible to effectively cover a race there. As a result, early in the season it was decided that the 1976 race would be the last to be held on the old circuit.
thomas_vhs Nürburgring was (and still is) an incredibly dangerous track. Narrow road, poor visibility and the length of the circuit would result in a lot more deaths in F1. However you can drive the Nordschleife with your own car nowadays!
@@oguz4750 The Nürburgring in that version was over 20km long. There weren't nearly as many trackside marshals distance-wise as there would have been on other tracks, because it was simply impossible. Also considering comms limitations at the time, there were blind areas on the track were if you were to crash it's likely no one would witness it and you could end up trapped in the forest without anyone knowing (until your team would finally notice you hadn't passed by the pits when you should have, a lap being over 7 minutes long and then they would still have to figure out where you are). The logistical challenge of the track was one of the main reason some people including Lauda himself had already voiced their concern about racing there, and Lauda's crash was the final nail in the coffin for F1 on the Nordschleife.
I swear, i can't understand how some people wish that formula 1 (or motorsports in general) would go back to be like the old days. It was a cool generation? Hell yeah. Cars looked good, they sounded awesome, we had many legendary pilots. But seeing all of the tragedies that happened way back, i'm happy that the survivability of the drivers is way higher than in the past
*fun fact* : the guy who portrayed Lauda's crash, _Sean Edwards_ whose his dad we're one of the 4 drivers who saved Lauda we're died due to a car crash in a practice session
Yeah he was the son of Guy Edwards. Harald Ertl who was one of those who saved Lauda died in a plane crash in '83. Arturo Merzario was the one who dived into the fire, unbuckled Lauda and dragged him out alone; the true hero out of the 4.
***** Guy Edwards was one of the drivers who helped pull Lauda from his wreck. He was portrayed by his son Sean in the movie Rush but Sean was sadly killed in a lesson in 2013. He was only 26

Seeing this again in light of Romain's crash last year...it shows you just how much fire can strip away from you, no matter how many safety precautions you take.
This is by far my favourite movie I’ve watched it so many time even the first time it came out and seeing clips of it brings back memories, love it bruh 👍
the fact that niki came back to racing after only 42 days after this crash in 1976 IS SOMETHING TO APPRECIATE. A crash like that would be so bad with the safety f1 has these days, but back then… it was a miracle that niki survived!
This is one of few rare moments where the movie so good many general audience refused to believe if you told them that this is not a James Hunt and Niki Lauda Documentary..
I did some some simracing for a few years. When Lauda is pushing the Ferrari after the pitstop perfectly captures the sensation of driving a racecar. It's an incredibly well done sequence.
0:57 The stunt driver in the #12 McLaren is actually the real Jochen Mass; there was a funny incident on set where he was wearing his old racing gear and some production assistant questioned him who he was and nearly called security on him because he looked way to old for a driver role and answered with his real name which the assistant didn't believe obviously
The German fans around the track must have been very happy to see Jochen go from 8th to the lead in the first 10 corners or so, on home turf. I also read somewhere he was actually PORTRAYING HIMSELF in this movie!!! What a man!
Jochen was on Slicks, everyone else on wets. This caused mayhem in the pits at the end of lap 1. It's literally Russian roulette when clouds are at Nordschleife
"I came round the turn, he was sideways in the middle of the track. His car was on fire. The Ferrari had different belts and different systems. Arturo Merzario had driven a Ferrari. He was able to get in, undo the belts. I was on top of the car, and I grabbed Niki's shoulders and pulled him out of the car." - Brett Lunger "I remember him saying to me, "what's my face like? What's my face like?" In fact, we didn't know he'd ingested a lot of toxic fumes from the burning resin and fiberglass of the bodywork of the car." - John Watson
I knew nothing about racing or this person but for reasons I can't quite remember, I took my mother to watch this in the theater and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Great cinematography, great acting and an engaging story. We were surprised to learn that it was actually pretty close to accurate RL events.

Happy 81st Birthday to Arturo Merzario, the man who Niki Lauda said ''"Merzario jumped into the fire and, alone, pulled me out of the wreckage so I survived… he really saved my life there, because a couple of seconds more I would have never made it''

@@David-eh9le Yeah, the Halo didn't have a use in this crash. The halo is made to deflect massive debris from the head, but there was nothing that could have put Lauda's head at risk.
@@josh-jk9gs Yes, there was a documentary a few years ago where Stirling Moss and Lewis Hamilton met up at Aintree and compared each others' cars and equipment. Lewis was quite shocked when he saw how flimsy Stirling's helmet was!
It shows the appalling safety provisions of the 70s, the fact that you had to rely on your fellow drivers to get you out of a burning car. Fire fighter didn't have nomex back then or very good level of first aid.
Yes, but also a valid reason the 22km Nürburgring never hosted a Formula One race again (though that decision had been made before). How many fire crews would you need to cover such a vast track?

It’s astonishing how accurate that crash is. Niki said that himself
I've watched this movie 40+ times and yet I get thrilled when is about to watch again! 😄
This is by far my favourite movie I’ve watched it so many time even the first time it came out and seeing clips of it brings back memories, love it bruh 👍
the fact that niki came back to racing after only 42 days after this crash in 1976 IS SOMETHING TO APPRECIATE. A crash like that would be so bad with the safety f1 has these days, but back then… it was a miracle that niki survived!
This is one of few rare moments where the movie so good many general audience refused to believe if you told them that this is not a James Hunt and Niki Lauda Documentary..
Holy fucking shit. I was almost sobbing.
The sound design and visuals in this film are a fucking masterpiece.
Rest In Peace Niki Lauda, You will always be remembered as one of the F1 heroes
this was just perfectly filmed and much more
I did some some simracing for a few years. When Lauda is pushing the Ferrari after the pitstop perfectly captures the sensation of driving a racecar. It's an incredibly well done sequence.
No grip
Wonderful movie. Thanks Ron!
Thank You for Everything Niki
Clever use of the modern Nürburgring GP circuit's start/finish straight and the Dunlop-Kehre to make it look like it's original form.
0:57 The stunt driver in the #12 McLaren is actually the real Jochen Mass; there was a funny incident on set where he was wearing his old racing gear and some production assistant questioned him who he was and nearly called security on him because he looked way to old for a driver role and answered with his real name which the assistant didn't believe obviously
Girls: Titanic is the best film
Boys:
👏👏👏👍☝🏆🍾♂
That’s not funny
Hahaha, why are the comments above me so weird.
This girl loves Rush and thought Titanic was trash.
Niki Lauda is one of the people who deserves thanks for Romain Grosjean surviving Bahrain 2020.
The German fans around the track must have been very happy to see Jochen go from 8th to the lead in the first 10 corners or so, on home turf.
I also read somewhere he was actually PORTRAYING HIMSELF in this movie!!! What a man!
Jochen was on Slicks, everyone else on wets. This caused mayhem in the pits at the end of lap 1. It's literally Russian roulette when clouds are at Nordschleife
@@AppleLauda_destroyer99942 Thanks for sharing!
@@Firemarioflower you're welcome
Mass would have won the race if Niki didnt crash which caused a red flag
1:43 did I just see 6 wheels?
yes, this was the legendary 'millipede' from Tyrrell, the P34.
That car actually managed to win a race too despite its shitty handling.
Elio Apolloni yes
Elio Apolloni ii
Elio Apolloni yep
Just beautiful ! Good job man
"I came round the turn, he was sideways in the middle of the track. His car was on fire. The Ferrari had different belts and different systems. Arturo Merzario had driven a Ferrari. He was able to get in, undo the belts. I was on top of the car, and I grabbed Niki's shoulders and pulled him out of the car." - Brett Lunger
"I remember him saying to me, "what's my face like? What's my face like?" In fact, we didn't know he'd ingested a lot of toxic fumes from the burning resin and fiberglass of the bodywork of the car." - John Watson
I knew nothing about racing or this person but for reasons I can't quite remember, I took my mother to watch this in the theater and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Great cinematography, great acting and an engaging story. We were surprised to learn that it was actually pretty close to accurate RL events.
weird to see Daniel and Chris in this movie, whereas they end up acting in the MCU movies/shows as well :)
its nice to see the other drivers help
2023, and this pitstop from RUSH 2013 movie still miles faster than 2022 NASCAR PITSTOP and 2016 Ricciardo's pitstop at Monaco.
"La única victoria importante en éste negocio, es el día en el que abandonas el paddock con vida" Niki Lauda (1949- ) Ex-piloto austríaco de Fórmula 1. Campeón Mundial en 1975, 1977 y 1984.
What a Great film 🔥 , really well done
I still can't watch this movie without tears
I've watched this maybe 50 times. I just now noticed nikki pleading "Get me out" and "Help me" through the flames. Mad my heart ache
1:43 These front tires looks weird! But nice
Rest in peace.. Legends never die.
Happy 81st Birthday to Arturo Merzario, the man who Niki Lauda said ''"Merzario jumped into the fire and, alone, pulled me out of the wreckage so I survived… he really saved my life there, because a couple of seconds more I would have never made it''

White Helmet: Brett Lunger

Black and Orange/Red Helmet: Emerson Fittipaldi?
So... Where is Guy Edwards?
Imagine that Lauda's Crash happened in 2020. He will be saved by the Halo and the medics will come on time right before he was burned
Halo would have done nothing in this accident. Maybe would be even worse for him to be drawn out from.
@@David-eh9le definitely. The only thing we have now that would have helped him then was the fire protection in the suits
@@retro34 that and HANS. Always a good thing to protect your neck
@@David-eh9le Yeah, the Halo didn't have a use in this crash. The halo is made to deflect massive debris from the head, but there was nothing that could have put Lauda's head at risk.
@@David-eh9le Also the helmets are more secure so that could possibly help reduce burns too
This scene is a master class in how to build tension.
Music, sound effects, tight cinematography, and editing.
The movie and music, total masterpiece.
The F1 1970s era specially the Rivalry between James Hunt and Nikki Lauda shows the Golden Era of F1 sport 🏎️🏁.
The way they portray Formula 1 in movies seem to be like the scariest sport ever
used to be
In those days, it was! At least one driver a year died from the 1950s to the late 70s.
@@RJSRdg when we look back on those times for f1, its generally shocking to see what safety measures they actually had
@@josh-jk9gs Yes, there was a documentary a few years ago where Stirling Moss and Lewis Hamilton met up at Aintree and compared each others' cars and equipment. Lewis was quite shocked when he saw how flimsy Stirling's helmet was!
Who's here after Grosjean survived his incident at the Bahrain GP?
Bahrain GP
i
Me
this brings the last name gotfried to a whole different meaning
this is the most accurate version ive seen nice mate!
Long live the king (niki lauda is the person i respect the most).
3:36 "Bergwerk" the section where Lauda crashed
This is one of the best racing movies ever imagined and the most accurate that tells the story of Hunt and Lauda.
It doesn’t matter who you are, nobody should turn there backs on each other.
Who’s watching after Grosjeans crash at Bahrain....
It shows the appalling safety provisions of the 70s, the fact that you had to rely on your fellow drivers to get you out of a burning car. Fire fighter didn't have nomex back then or very good level of first aid.
Yes, but also a valid reason the 22km Nürburgring never hosted a Formula One race again (though that decision had been made before). How many fire crews would you need to cover such a vast track?
The effect in that movie are really cool looking!
It’s so heartbreaking when you hear him scream NIKI
Nurburgring 1976 :
S🅱️inotto : Pronto ? Niki ?
Lauda : Hallo ?
S🅱️inotto : ... .... s🅱️innala
Lauda: What tf is s🅱️inalla?
S🅱️inotto: it's a meme from the future, you won't get it
Lauda: ...
only a god can survive this... and Niki Lauda was a god I hope no one crashes like this again
Grosjean just did but luckily he survived!
@@edwardyo9328 that was my biggest fear to happen...
AppleLauda amazing how safety measures have really improved throughout the years though...kudos to everyone...my humanity is restored
@@edwardyo9328 I bet for a million dollars that Romain Grosjean had died if the cars weren't that safe like they're now
one of the best movies i've ever seen
Arturio Mezario, Brett Lunger, Guy Edwards, Harald Ertl. All of them, heroes.
Who is here after Grosjeans crash
Niki Rest in Peace. Always a champion.
RIP to a legend what an amazing story
At that time no one cares about being first its about helping your falow friend, you leave everything and get out to save him, it's really touching
