Three-time Formula 1 world champion Niki Lauda has been released from hospital in Austria after treatment for influenza.
The 69-year-old Austrian, who had a lung transplant in August, became ill during a family holiday in Ibiza over the Christmas period.
He was taken to the Vienna General Hospital, where he had his transplant, to be treated by doctors there.
Lauda won the world drivers’ title in 1975, 1977 and 1984 with Ferrari and McLaren.
He was involved in the signing of five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton to the team.
