More quotes by Bernie Ecclestone

Image
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.

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.

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.

I have always been happy to have daughters rather than sons. You never really can be mad at girls for anything in life.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

If I feel like something's gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.

Image
I can't remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I have 100 percent confidence in the German judicial system.
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
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
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.

Image
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.

Don't forget I started looking at China a long time before any of those races happened. I always thought go east, not west.

You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.

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