"Speedy Merry": Doing something and not doing something is the real professional spirit

Top racing events are a life-and-death career. In Niki's eyes, every match means a 20% chance of death. As a professional driver, Nikki abides by the bottom line of the 20% risk of death in the event itself. He longs for the championship and cherishes love and life more. When the risk of death clearly exceeded 20%, he would advise everyone to cancel the game, although that time was unsuccessful and he was unfortunately injured. In the most critical game at the end of the game, when the risk of death once again exceeded 20%, he would rather choose to retire.
Hunter is a real fight for his life. In low-level competitions, you dare to take the risk and surpass it for the sake of ranking. On the way to compete with Nicky for the season championship, he was pressing step by step. When Nicky proposed to avoid the risk of canceling the game, he firmly opposed it. He knew very well that when the game was over halfway, he had to strive for every game. The game went on as usual, Nicky was injured and he won, with guilt in his heart.
In the final game, Nicky retired, and Hunter risked his life despite his teammates' dissuasion. He didn't want to let go of the success that was only one step away, he won the bet and got the victory he expected, as well as the honor, money, beauty and so on after the victory.
Two years later, Hunter retired and returned to his down-and-out position. Nicky continued to race, taking another championship on the track.
Some will get temporary victories, even huge ones. But these people are gamblers after all, and what they fight for their lives is the glory after victory. Red-eyed, they'll take their lives as a bet.
But real professional players must do something or not. They dedicate themselves to this cause, for this cause and for themselves, they will stick to their bottom line. Perhaps they firmly believe that time will tell.
Just like the old saying: The last laugh, the best laugh!

Rush quotes

  • Niki Lauda: A wise man can learn more from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

  • [last lines]

    Niki Lauda: Of course he didn't listen to me. For James, one world title was enough. He had proved what he needed to prove. To himself and anyone who doubted him. And two years later, he retired. When I saw him next in London, seven years later, me as a champion again, him as broadcaster, he was barefoot on a bicycle with a flat tire, still living each day like his last. When I heard he died age 45 of a heart attack, I wasn't surprised. I was just sad. People always think of us as rivals but he was among the very few I liked and even fewer that I respected. He remains the only person I envied.
