F1 is exciting, its values are attractive and it could be an even better family sport.
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.

It is always easy to criticize, as Bernie Ecclestone is somebody with extreme opinions.
Martin Sorrell
If you pay 50 million for something, you probably pay another 50 to 100 million to activate it. And the more you spend, the better you do. There is no point in just buying rights.
