Niki Lauda in hospital recovering from lung transplant.

I know he's missed the last 2 races, and had heard that he had flu that had hospitalised him. With his lung damage from his accident in 1976 I suppose that could be pretty worrying.

Turns out he's had a lung transplant today.

Get well soon Niki.

Quite a shock, he must have suffered in silence. Hope he recovers well.
