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 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.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I can't remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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.

It'd be good for the world if [Donald Trump] won.

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.

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.

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

[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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.

If I feel like something's gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
You can't compare eras. But drivers of each era adapt to the needs and climate of their time. There are good and bad points to every era of the sport. I'm not really nostalgic about the past.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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
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.
