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

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.

Image
I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.
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.

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.

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 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
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
I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.

[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.
