I have no regrets about the amount of work I put into the sport. This is what I needed to do with my life.
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.

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

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
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

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

[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.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I have 100 percent confidence in the German judicial system.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
If I feel like something's gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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
When there is more money at stake it affects the atmosphere and things become more businesslike.
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
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.

If we didn't have Nico [Rosberg] and Lewis [Hamilton] in those cars - there's one or two guys down the field who in those cars would have delivered the same.
