I think Sir Lewis has a clothing brand with TH, but can't think of anything else!

The late great Niki Lauda ran an airline and got Boeing to admit fault in a deadly accident

This cropped up in another thread discussing the F1 legend and safety champion Nik Lauda who has just passed away. I never knew he ran an airline but this just shows the sort of guy he was - he got personally involved in the accident investigation, flying the scenario in simulators and managing to bully Boeing into admitting fault, unfortunately a familiar sounding situation 28 years later.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauda_Air_Flight_004

>Lauda Air Flight 004 was a regularly scheduled international passenger flight between Bangkok, Thailand, and Vienna, Austria. On 26 May 1991, the thrust reverser on the No.1 engine of the Boeing 767-300ER operating on the route deployed in flight without being commanded, causing the aircraft to spiral out of control, break up, and crash, killing all 213 passengers and the 10 crew members on board. It was the 767's first fatal incident and third hull loss,[1] as well as the deadliest aviation disaster to occur in Thailand.[2] Lauda Air was founded and run by the former Formula One world motor racing champion Niki Lauda. Lauda was personally involved in the accident investigation.
