The Austrian took the title for Ferrari in 1975 and 1977 and McLaren in 1984. He was badly burned in a crash in the 1976 German Grand Prix, but recovered and returned to racing. He was also a pilot and set up two airlines. In January, he spent some 10 days in hospital while suffering from influenza. Last August, he had a double lung transplant. "With deep sadness, we announce that our beloved Niki has peacefully passed away with his family on Monday," his family said in a statement. ID: 1994531 ·
