More quotes by Martin Sorrell
The web attacks traditional ways of doing things and elites, and this is very uncomfortable for traditional businesses to deal with.
Martin Sorrell
It is always easy to criticize, as Bernie Ecclestone is somebody with extreme opinions.
Martin Sorrell
Technology will have moved on to an unimaginable level in ten years.

[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
Donald Trumps' senior advisor said on CNN that the US Presidential election was the ultimate reality TV show! Appeal to those you want to reach!
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.

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.

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.

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
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
Think through whom you are trying to reach. Tailor what you do and how you do it to appeal to those communities.
Martin Sorrell
If I were to be super critical, I would say Formula One is too tactical and not strategic enough. And that brings us back to the digital issue: you may have to invest in order to gain - sacrifice some short-term effects in order to make high returns in the future.
Martin Sorrell
F1 is exciting, its values are attractive and it could be an even better family sport.
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
That is again a romantic notion: the hero. I think people enjoy a much more levelled playing field where you have the ability for many people to become heroes.

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
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
If you are a driver of a team and have a certain set of sponsors, who is the target market for those sponsors? But, of course, it is also a question of nationality.
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!
