Quote

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.

Image
I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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
If I feel like something's gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I have always been happy to have daughters rather than sons. You never really can be mad at girls for anything in life.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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
Image
You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
Under the engine cover, no one cares what's in there. Nobody cares.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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.
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!

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

Anyone who doesn't speak English isn't worth speaking to
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I'd rather get to the 70-year-old guy who's got plenty of cash.
Bernie Ecclestone

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.
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
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
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.
