Rapid world champion Hamilton receives a call from Lauda

The information of the Vienna AKH regarding the health of Niki Lauda has been kept to a minimum. But the three-time Formula One world champion is apparently still on the road to recovery, as suggested by an interview with Ö3 with world champion Lewis Hamilton fast racing in Austin.

"I spoke to Niki two days ago, he called me … I was so shocked when I heard about him," said Hamilton, who was very happy to call, in the state of Texas. "I said" hey Niki, you look younger than ever "He is very determined to come back and so grateful to the doctors for their good work and his wife," Hamilton said.

"Miss here in the team"

The Briton, who could set his fifth world title Sunday (8:10 pm, lives in the ORF and live) at the US Grand Prix, would like to visit Lauda in Vienna before the end of the season. "He said that he should soon be released from the USI, after which he will be able to be visited," Hamilton told O3. "We miss him here in the team and of course we participate in the races with his spirit," promised the British.

Lauda had received a donor organ in early August after a serious lung disease. Aged 69, he won three world championship titles in Formula 1. Currently, the Austrian heads the supervisory board of the Mercedes team.
