Quote

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.

Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.

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

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 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.

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.

I'd rather the handshake for somebody that I can trust than a contract. Because you can read the bloody contract - perhaps if you made a little bit of a mistake writing it - in a way to suit you.

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.

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.

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.

I have always been happy to have daughters rather than sons. You never really can be mad at girls for anything in life.

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.

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.
