More quotes by Martin Sorrell
You have to see it on a broader level. But you also have to activate it properly.
Martin Sorrell
[Formula One] is entertainment and it competes with other entertainments - and not with other racing formats. It competes with people's time on a weekend. So you have to deliver.
Martin Sorrell
The challenges some European economies have are such that it makes it very difficult for them. You have to go where the growth is.
Martin Sorrell
One of the reasons why they are optimistic is that there is more competition. Red Bull has become more competitive, the races have become more attractive - and that is what fans want!
Martin Sorrell
F1 is exciting, its values are attractive and it could be an even better family sport.
Martin Sorrell
Despite streaming, despite the rise of tablets and smartphones - all the implications which in theory would make linear TV less important - live sporting events are extremely powerful. But it's not the event alone - it's also what's surrounding it.
Martin Sorrell
[Formula One racing looking after Jackie Stewart in 1968] was not so intense and, yes, it was much more dangerous - what was definitely different back then was the level of safety.
Martin Sorrell
It doesn't make much sense and it's nil premium. They're going to have co-CEOs...which is a very uncomfortable structure.
Martin Sorrell
If you run a country and want to put it on the global map you don't have so many choices. You can get the Olympics, the World Cup or a Formula One race. And the first two are only every four years - and you have them only once.
Martin Sorrell
Formula One gives a platform to companies like Rolex - and that's just in media space, watching television or reading newspapers, digital or physical. You see the brand in the context of the competition and bring it to the attention of everybody on a regular basis.
Martin Sorrell
There is much romanticism about Formula One of the past. Today it has to be more of a family sport, not less. It is a fixture in the Sunday afternoon TV programmes, and probably flamboyance - those white silk suits and devil-may-care attitudes - would be outworn attributes today.
Martin Sorrell
I believe that Virtual Reality will hit it big time. I know that some of my colleagues disagree, but I believe in it.
Martin Sorrell
In fact, if you were interested in a global platform there are only three sporting events: probably the most powerful - or equally powerful [to F1] - are the World Cup and the Olympics, and then Formula One. And there it gets interesting.
Martin Sorrell
Vodafone is building a digital stadium in Istanbul. It is really worth going to see that. The whole experience will change with the possibilities viewers will have.
Martin Sorrell
Think through whom you are trying to reach. Tailor what you do and how you do it to appeal to those communities.
Martin Sorrell
Formula One does very well. It is a very interesting asset. Could it be run in a different way? Sure it could be. Could it be improved? I'm sure it could. But all I can say is, it seems to do pretty well.
Martin Sorrell
It is always easy to criticize, as Bernie Ecclestone is somebody with extreme opinions.
Martin Sorrell
Monaco was my first race of the season and I spoke with a number of people and all seemed to be very optimistic.
Martin Sorrell
The last person in the UK who described his product as being crap in public was one Gerald Ratner - and he was gone immediately.
Martin Sorrell
I recently interviewed Bernie Ecclestone in London. He had a go at women, said [Vladimir] Putin should be running Europe and so on. He enjoys it - he's been doing it for such a long time. He has an entrenched position. The truth be known, he is unique, right?
