[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 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.
Bernie Ecclestone
I think in the end officials in each country's judicial system will do what they believe is right because if they do something bad to somebody it's on their conscience for the rest of their lives.
Bernie Ecclestone
I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.
