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.

More quotes by Bernie Ecclestone
As the cancellation of the German Grand Prix indicates, Germany is a terrible market for Formula One.
Bernie Ecclestone
Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
I'd rather get to the 70-year-old guy who's got plenty of cash.
Bernie Ecclestone
I have 100 percent confidence in the German judicial system.
Bernie Ecclestone
I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.
Bernie Ecclestone
I also would rather race than strut red carpets in Hollywood - and thank God this is not my job - but also the team principals should be more prominent.
Bernie Ecclestone
Don't forget I started looking at China a long time before any of those races happened. I always thought go east, not west.
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
You're born with certain gifts and you use them as best you can in life. You begin to learn and recognize that you have certain skills and aptitudes that you apply and use them to carry you forward.
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
Each new deal is another opportunity.
Bernie Ecclestone
The banks don't have anything - no rights whatsoever. The banks are shareholders of SLEC, and SLEC has no rights. I am the CEO of Formula One Management and Formula One Administration, which runs the business in F1. From this point of view, I own F1.
Bernie Ecclestone
I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.
Bernie Ecclestone
You have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.
Bernie Ecclestone
I have a lot of faith in justice systems around the world even though there were cases in the past where that faith wasn't justified in some countries.
Bernie Ecclestone
I think the way I do things would be difficult to teach somebody to do. They need to get another good used car dealer. That's what they need. Find a good car dealer.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
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.
