"Juan Manuel Fangio was one of the special guests at the historic race. He justified Niki Lauda's decision to retire, stating that the track conditions were not safe."

“I decided to go out, do one lap, and stop in the pits…” Lauda recalls, describing a well-premeditated decision, as evidenced by his warning to the driver of the Rolls Royce (the car provided by the organizers) to have it ready and close to the pit lane. Lauda complied, and on the second lap, after passing the 10° in the initial round, while Hunt led, he entered the pits with his Ferrari. With a “Don’t be afraid to tell the truth. You can’t race in these conditions, and there are more important things than a world title,” he quickly dismissed Mauro Forghieri’s suggestion of citing a mechanical problem as the reason for his retirement. Ermanno Cuoghi, Ferrari’s chief mechanic, the first to see Lauda, offered a valuable account of that historic moment. “I didn’t see fear on Niki’s face; I saw the image of someone convinced of what he was doing,” he stated.
