NIKI LAUDA DIES AT 70

Formula 1 champion driver Niki Lauda has died.

His family says he passed away 'peacefully' at the age of 70.

The Austrian was Formula 1 world champion three times - twice for Ferrari in the 1970s, and once for McLaren in 1984.

He was badly burned in a crash at the German Grand Prix in 1976 but returned to racing just over a month later.

Fellow former F1 driver Derek Warwick says he was a joy to work alongside.

IN: "He was...
OUT: ...we had."
