His trademark red cap was well known to many fans
Lauda, a 3 time world champion and Mercedes' non-executive chairman, sadly passed away on the
20th May 2019.
Before the Monaco race, all drivers along with dignitaries and a number of Lauda’s contemporaries and peers will each hold a red cap,
during a minute silence as a tribute.
Fans where invited to to wear a red cap, display a message on the banner, or just applaud, while those watching from the yatchs/boats in the harbour were encouraged
to sound their klaxons.
