I think we don't need some people in Brussels trying to run countries that are some distance apart, who don't speak the same language, don't eat the same food. There's a bit of difference between, Holland, if you like, and Italy.

My daughters have strong personalities. I'm close to them but they don't really need me to advise them on how to manage their lives and they don't ask me to do that.

Under the engine cover, no one cares what's in there. Nobody cares.

[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.

I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.

I'd rather get to the 70-year-old guy who's got plenty of cash.

You can't compare eras. But drivers of each era adapt to the needs and climate of their time. There are good and bad points to every era of the sport. I'm not really nostalgic about the past.

I think I would find it easier to talk with Nico [Rosenberg] than Lewis [Hamilton], as Lewis is into things that are very distant to me.

It's the engine. They should have never had that. The biggest mistake people have made... I say, people, because it wasn't just me alone, was not insisting Mercedes supply Red Bull an engine. Because had they supplied the same engine as they had, you would have seen good racing, you would have seen Red Bull up there last year.

Image
There is no recipe for that. Both [Nico Rosenberg and Lewis Hamilton] are very likely equally talented in the car, so the fight between the two happens between the ears - in the head.
Bernie Ecclestone

Generally I still believe that Lewis [Hamilton] is the best champion that we have had in a long, long time. He manages to get to all different walks of life: red carpet, fashion business, and music - you name it.

When people want to built new tracks, they want to look at Silverstone. We don't want it built like that. It's quite embarrassing.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
But when it comes to F1 I am a huge Lewis [Hamilton] fan because he is a super promoter of the sport. From a pure business aspect - sorry Nico if I have to say this - you are not so good for my business.

Take away Toto Wolff's Mercedes shirt and send Sebastian [Vettel] down a street - nobody would recognize him.

I have no regrets about the amount of work I put into the sport. This is what I needed to do with my life.

Two races we've lost which I'm genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.

I have so much respect for [Bernie Ecclestone] for what he did with this sport. He did so much more than people in tennis or football.
