핵심 특성
주요 업적
라우다는 포뮬러 원 드라이버 월드 챔피언십에서 세 차례 우승했다. 1975년과 1977년에는 페라리에서, 1984년에는 맥라렌에서 정상에 올랐으며, 마지막 우승은 팀 동료 알랭 프로스트를 반 점 차로 제친 결과였다.
2019년 오스트리아 신문의 연표에 따르면 라우다는 1979년 4월 23일 포커 27 두 대로 전세기 항공사 라우다 에어를 세웠다. 이후 2003~04년에 니키(Niki) 항공을 출범시켰고, 2016년에는 전세기 회사 아미라 에어를 인수해 라우다모션으로 이름을 바꾸었는데, 독일 경제지 비르트샤프트스보헤는 이를 항공업에서의 세 번째 시도라고 불렀다.
2012년 9월 메르세데스 F1 팀은 루이스 해밀턴의 영입을 확정한 것과 같은 발표에서 라우다를 이사회 비상임 의장으로 선임했다. 오토스포트의 애덤 쿠퍼는 그의 역할에 다임러 이사회와의 조율과 해밀턴 영입 지원이 포함되었다고 전한다.
삶의 장면들
2012년 싱가포르 그랑프리 주간에 라우다는 루이스 해밀턴의 호텔 방을 찾아가 맥라렌에서 메르세데스로 옮기는 문제를 꺼냈다. 2013년 로이터에 밝힌 본인의 설명으로는 그 만남이 새벽 2시에서 4시 사이에 이어졌고, 해밀턴은 메르세데스의 차가 이기고 있지 않다고 반론했다. 오토스포트의 애덤 쿠퍼는 라우다가 협상을 시작한 것은 아니며 로스 브라운의 설득도 중요했다고 전하고, 해밀턴은 라우다가 전화로 자신을 설득하려 했다고 회고한다. 메르세데스와의 계약은 2012년 9월 28일에 발표되었다.
이 일화는 이 프로필의 설득력 점수를 보여 주는 한 사례이다. 다만 이적에는 여러 사람이 관여했고, 만남의 세부 내용은 라우다 본인의 설명에 의존한다. 설득력
역사가 존 솔틴스톨은 라우다가 1977년 네덜란드 그랑프리 몇 주 전에 이미 페라리를 떠나기로 마음먹었고, 그 주말에 다른 팀인 브라밤과 비밀리에 계약했으며, 이탈리아 그랑프리 열흘 전에 이적을 발표했다고 쓴다. 미국 그랑프리 뒤에는 캐나다 대회를 건너뛰었는데, 솔틴스톨은 그 이유로 정비사 에르마노 쿠오기의 해고, 질 빌뇌브를 위한 세 번째 페라리 투입, 레이스 현장에서 벌어진 마우로 포르기에리의 소동을 든다.
이 흐름은 이 프로필의 자율성 욕구 점수와 부합한다. 다만 불만 사항은 한 저자의 서술에 따른 것이고, 당시 페라리는 다른 공식 사유를 내놓았다. 자율성 욕구
전환점
브라밤 팀 매니저였던 허비 블래시는 1979년 캐나다 그랑프리에서 라우다가 첫 연습 주행 뒤 더는 차에 타지 않겠다며 비행기를 사러 갈 것이라고 말했고, 곧 구단주 버니 에클스턴에게도 같은 말을 전했다고 회고한다. 당시 모터 스포트의 경기 보도는 그가 새 차로 열 바퀴를 돈 뒤 호텔로 떠났고 계약을 깼다고 전한다. 라우다 에어는 그해 4월에 설립되어 있었고, 그는 1982년 맥라렌으로 포뮬러 원에 복귀했다.
이미 진행 중이던 계획에 따라 연습 하루 만에 결단을 내린 이 행동은 이 프로필의 결단력 점수와 부합하며, 갑작스러운 이탈이라는 점이 해당 항목을 양면적으로 표시한 이유이다. 결단력
