Daniele Audetto was a key figure in arguably one of the most tumultuous and exciting seasons in F1 history: 1976. As team manager at Ferrari, he reported directly back to Enzo Ferrari from each race \\u2013 and that included giving him the bad news when Niki Lauda was critically injured at the German Grand Prix. In this week\\u2019s show, 45 years on from that dreadful moment, Audetto recounts that weekend in detail, as well as Lauda\\u2019s heroic comeback and that tense title finale with James Hunt in Fuji. He also discusses life after Ferrari, and in particular his stints at Lamborghini \\u2013 when Senna tested and nearly raced a Lambo-powered McLaren \\u2013 and everyone\\u2019s favourite minnows, Super Aguri.
