Quote

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.

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 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

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.

Women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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
Image
You have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
As the cancellation of the German Grand Prix indicates, Germany is a terrible market for Formula One.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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
Image
If I feel like something's gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
[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
Image
Don't forget I started looking at China a long time before any of those races happened. I always thought go east, not west.
