After a couple of seasons in F3 and sports cars Lauda took a bank loan to finance a season of Formula 2 and a one-off drive in his home GP in 1971. He had another mortgage to pay for his March drive 1972 and a pay-as-you-race deal with BRM 1973. Niki retired and built up his airline business between 1979-1982. F1 expert for RTL since 1988. His son Mathias has driven in F3000 2004, GP2 2005 and DTM 2006-2009
