I have earned the money and changed the nappies!

You can't make decisions if there are no charges or issues to deal with. So it's quite normal to wait until there is some reason to react.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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.

Image
I think in the end officials in each country's judicial system will do what they believe is right because if they do something bad to somebody it's on their conscience for the rest of their lives.

Don't forget I started looking at China a long time before any of those races happened. I always thought go east, not west.

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.

I believe when you say you're going to start a race at 2 p.m. then you should stick to that and start the race at 2 p.m. There's no maybe, could be or should be. You start the race on time. It's very simple.

[Donald] Trump, I think, is the sort of guy that if he maybe thought he'd made a little bit of a mistake, would find a way out, he wouldn't want to say, Well, that's what I've done and I'm sticking to it, and I don't give a damn. Which is what the other people in America would be like.

If you're going to take the attitude, I don't think it will work, you will never do anything.
Bernie Ecclestone

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

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

I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
If I feel like something's gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I am happy that we have somebody like Lewis [Hamilton]. I also couldn't be like Lewis. I don't like gold jewelry!
Bernie Ecclestone
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.

Before they go to the race, people want to think four or five guys could win, but now... Normally you'd say, One of those two, and I think it's going to be Lewis [Hamiltom], because that's what had been proved up to now - thank God that Nico [Rosberg] has won some races.
