World champion

Original Toronto Star caption: World champion: Nikki Lauda leads the way around the track in his Ferrari. The 26-year-old Austrian is the new world driving champion - and he's a real cool customer. He says he has no plans to retire and will be out to win the crown again next season. He counts the world laurels as a very nice thing but nothing special. With Lauda in the driver's seat, the Ferrari team and Lauda are now the pride and joy of Italian motor racing fans.
