"I flew on Concorde recently-an impressive old shitbox.. But I would like to go up in a space shuttle, for a quick lap around the world" ~Nikki Lauda Malaysian Preview 12 Oct 1999
"Spa is a good race I would have enjoyed to be in myself. Pure skill. I would like to be racing now. It is the safest and best paid time to be racing . If I lived in America I could sue my mother for having me too early- for the loss of income!" -Nikki Lauda at the end of '97 season
Racing is a lot easier. It was like a holiday compared with the running of the airline. In racing you would train, drive up to 16 races, do a bit of PR. Now I am up every morning at 6.30 am in work by 8am, running a business with 1650 employees and 16 planes. If I had a choice I would have continued racing until I was 80.Its easier and now better paid." ~Nikki Lauda on managing his airline
