Mathias Lauda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mathias Lauda (born January 30, 1981) is a race car driver, and the son of three-time world champion Niki Lauda. He was born in Salzburg, Austria. He raced in the 2005 GP2 Series for the Coloni team, alongside former Formula One driver Gianmaria Bruni.
Unlike many drivers who start out in karting, Lauda debuted in 2002 in Formula Nissan 2000. He also drove in two races of German Formula VW and one race of Spanish Formula Three. He moved to World Series Light in 2003 with the Vergani team, again moving in 2004 to the Euro 2000 Series. Later in 2004 he drove in Formula 3000, completing the full season with the CMS team.
Lauda drove in the GP2 Series in 2005, and was one of only a few competitors who have a full season of F3000 experience behind them. Since September 2005 he has driven in the A1 Grand Prix series. Without achieving any major results in single seater racing, he decided to turn his attention to touring cars. In 2006 he is competing in the DTM with Mercedes-Benz.
