Surprised this thread is still alive to be honest. No idea who Lauda is or where he came from, but it's pretty clear that he's just got a massive stick all the way up there and doesn't speak from any objective perspective, despite quite proudly proclaiming to be doing so.
I'm at the very least glad that I got to remove that guy from my "trust list", since he's pretty clearly not somebody whose opinion is worth much of anything.
