Der Österreicher Niki Lauda prägte die Formel 1 über Jahrzehnte wie kein Zweiter - als erfolgreicher Fahrer, aber als auch Manager und Macher hinter den Kulissen. Seine einmalige Lebensgeschichte umfasst sportliche Meilensteine wie zwei Weltmeistertitel mit Ferrari und die weltberühmte Rivalität mit James Hunt in den 70er-Jahren (verfilmt im Kinofilm Rush), aber auch dramatische Wendepunkte wie den fast tödlichen Unfall auf dem Nürburgring, Rücktritt und den Beginn der Unternehmerkarriere sowie die langjährige, erfolgreiche Arbeit als Manager, Medienexperte und Berater in der Formel 1. Der preisgekrönte Autor und Journalist Maurice Hamilton, der Niki Lauda mehr als vierzig Jahre lang begleitete, führte für die erste umfassende Biografie zahlreiche Gespräche mit der Familie, Freunden, Wegbegleitern und Mitstreitern. Entstanden ist ein einmaliges, tiefgehendes Porträt dieser großen Sport- und Unternehmerpersönlichkeit.
