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
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
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
Anyone who doesn't speak English isn't worth speaking to
Bernie Ecclestone
I'd rather the handshake for somebody that I can trust than a contract. Because you can read the bloody contract - perhaps if you made a little bit of a mistake writing it - in a way to suit you.
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
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
Under the engine cover, no one cares what's in there. Nobody cares.
Bernie Ecclestone
If we didn't have Nico [Rosberg] and Lewis [Hamilton] in those cars - there's one or two guys down the field who in those cars would have delivered the same.
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
Two races we've lost which I'm genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.
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
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
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
As the cancellation of the German Grand Prix indicates, Germany is a terrible market for Formula One.
Bernie Ecclestone
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
Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.
Bernie Ecclestone
I have 100 percent confidence in the German judicial system.
Bernie Ecclestone
If you're going to take the attitude, I don't think it will work, you will never do anything.
