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.

More quotes by Bernie Ecclestone
Before they go to the race, people want to think four or five guys could win, but now... Normally you'd say, One of those two, and I think it's going to be Lewis [Hamiltom], because that's what had been proved up to now - thank God that Nico [Rosberg] has won some races.
Bernie Ecclestone
I'd rather get to the 70-year-old guy who's got plenty of cash.
Bernie Ecclestone
Under the engine cover, no one cares what's in there. Nobody cares.
Bernie Ecclestone
Women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.
Bernie Ecclestone
Two races we've lost which I'm genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
If somebody says, You like putting out fires, and I say, It's not a case of liking it, but I do put them out, and if there aren't fires left I make them, so I can put them out. It's what we do.
Bernie Ecclestone
I have earned the money and changed the nappies!
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.
Bernie Ecclestone
I can't remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.
Bernie Ecclestone
I think I would find it easier to talk with Nico [Rosenberg] than Lewis [Hamilton], as Lewis is into things that are very distant to me.
Bernie Ecclestone
[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.
Bernie Ecclestone
Each new deal is another opportunity.
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
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.
