INDIANAPOLIS - The heartbreak of Niki Lauda’s death has washed over the Indianapolis 500 paddock this week but there are no formal tributes planned to honor the three-times Formula One world champion, IndyCar said on Friday.
Lauda, one of the sport’s greatest heroes, died on Monday in hospital in Zurich at the age of 70, plunging Formula One into a week of mourning in the run up to Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix. IndyCar told Reuters it currently has no plans to pay homage to Lauda during Sunday’s pre-race ceremonies and is not aware of any team preparing tributes.Penske, who owns IndyCar’s most successful outfit and operated a Formula One team in the mid-1970s racing against Lauda, told Reuters he was devastated by news of the Austrian’s death.
Pagenaud, who drives for Penske and will start Sunday’s race from pole, said on Twitter that Ayrton Senna may have been his childhood idol but he always felt more like Niki Lauda. The Austrian suffered horrific injuries in a fiery crash at the Nuerburgring in 1976 yet weeks later was back in his Ferrari.
