I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver.
Giving up is something a Lauda doesn't do.
Happiness is an enemy. It weakens you. Suddenly, you have something to lose.
I always go extreme ways.
If you are a straightforward racing driver you should always see your limits. You have to be objective and not come up with any bullshit.
You appreciate that it is very easy to die and you have to arrange your life to cope with that reality.
