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.

More quotes by Bernie Ecclestone
[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
I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.
Bernie Ecclestone
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.
Bernie Ecclestone
It'd be good for the world if [Donald Trump] won.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
Take away Toto Wolff's Mercedes shirt and send Sebastian [Vettel] down a street - nobody would recognize him.
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 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
Don't forget I started looking at China a long time before any of those races happened. I always thought go east, not west.
Bernie Ecclestone
When there is more money at stake it affects the atmosphere and things become more businesslike.
Bernie Ecclestone
You have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.
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
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
