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 so much respect for [Bernie Ecclestone] for what he did with this sport. He did so much more than people in tennis or football.

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
Image
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
Image
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.

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
Image

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.

Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.
