The 1976 battle between Lauda and [[James Hunt]] was dramatized in the film ''[[Rush (2013 film)|Rush]]'' (2013), where Lauda was played by [[Daniel Brühl]]—a portrayal that was nominated for a [[British Academy Film Awards|BAFTA Film Award]] for Best Supporting Actor. Lauda made a cameo appearance at the end of the film. Lauda said of Hunt's death, "When I heard he'd died age 45 of a heart attack I wasn't surprised, I was just sad." He also said that Hunt was one of the very few he liked, one of a smaller number of people he respected and the only person he had envied.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bensinger |first=Graham |date=2017-10-11 |title=Niki Lauda on James Hunt |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM6OABZ0PZ4&gl=US&hl=en |access-date=2024-12-06 |website=[[YouTube]]}}</ref>
