A WINNER BY NIKI LAUDA

At age 60 Niki Lauda, former Formula One driver, and his wife Birgit became parents of a set of twins weighing almost 8 pounds each....ouch! In my view, parenting after 60 is a rich man's game. Lauda is remembered by race fans as a tough as nails survivor of a near fatal accident in Germany when he was trapped in a burning car. He had won the Championship the year before. Came back the next year to win the Championship again. Retired for about 4 years then came back to race three more years. In those years winning another Championship. He was already making millions while racing and they went on to make millions more in the airline business, Lauda Air. In 2002-2005 he managed the Jaguar Formula One team. Like I said, a rich man's game.
