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.
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
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
[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.

Technology will have moved on to an unimaginable level in ten years.
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
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.

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
The web attacks traditional ways of doing things and elites, and this is very uncomfortable for traditional businesses to deal with.

We do things much the same way as we did 50, 60 or even 70 years ago. The answers may not be wrong, but we haven't experimented to see whether they are or not.
Martin Sorrell
F1 is exciting, its values are attractive and it could be an even better family sport.
Martin Sorrell
In an era of transparency, you can have innovation without branding, but you cannot have branding without innovation.
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?
Martin Sorrell
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.
Martin Sorrell
If you look at the sponsorship yields, Formula One - because it happens every year - generates more sponsorship money for a four-year cycle than anybody else. So it is very powerful.
Martin Sorrell
It is always easy to criticize, as Bernie Ecclestone is somebody with extreme opinions.
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
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
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
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.
