More quotes by 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
As the cancellation of the German Grand Prix indicates, Germany is a terrible market for Formula One.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
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 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
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
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
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
When there is more money at stake it affects the atmosphere and things become more businesslike.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
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
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.
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 was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.
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
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
If somebody says, You like putting out fires, and I say, It's not a case of liking it, but I do put them out, and if there aren't fires left I make them, so I can put them out. It's what we do.
Bernie Ecclestone
You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
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.
