When you have two people challenge for the same job and you keep them both and call them co-CEOs, or the whole fiasco of a 'merger of equals'... there is no such a thing. So if there should be dreams of dual leadership, the chances of success are limited. But Bernie [Ecclestone] is still at the top of his game I have noticed.

What still amuses me a bit is that in F1 people see the race basically on TV screens. But I am sure new tracks will be built.

You have to see it on a broader level. But you also have to activate it properly.

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
You must not only focus on the consumer, but also on what it does to you internally - getting people aligned to the strategic mission of the company - what it does to the suppliers, governments, all your stakeholders.
Martin Sorrell
It is always easy to criticize, as Bernie Ecclestone is somebody with extreme opinions.
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
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
F1 is exciting, its values are attractive and it could be an even better family sport.
