Lauda been accused of doing many things, from contradicting, saying things he/she shouldn't, etc.
But why all the hate? He/She's not necessarily speaking as a staff member, in some case she could be a staff member, in other cases, she/he is speaking for herself/himself.
I know Lauda better than most here. She pissed me off one time, and I told her off, and he apologized. And I understood his point of view, and I forgave her completely.
Lauda is both a he, a she and neither at the same time!
