“But when it comes to F1 I am a huge Lewis [Hamilton] fan because he is a super promoter of the sport. From a pure business aspect – sorry Nico if I have to say this – you are not so good for my business.”

You can’t make decisions if there are no charges or issues to deal with. So it’s quite normal to wait until there is some reason to react.

If you say ‘Good Morning’ in America and it’s five past twelve you end up with a lawsuit.

I am happy that we have somebody like Lewis [Hamilton]. I also couldn’t be like Lewis. I don’t like gold jewelry!

My dad always took to his heels when a nappy change was necessary. I am so much looking forward to our child. It is such a wonderfully exciting time right now.

I think the way I do things would be difficult to teach somebody to do. They need to get another good used car dealer. That’s what they need. Find a good car dealer.

I have no regrets about the amount of work I put into the sport. This is what I needed to do with my life.

I won’t be threatened or intimidated by anyone and I’ve always been prepared to do what is necessary to defend my interests.

Forget what others whisper in your ears. Most of that is pure rubbish that obstructs the view to what really is important. Always make your own decisions. That is what makes us human.

I also would rather race than strut red carpets in Hollywood – and thank God this is not my job – but also the team principals should be more prominent.

Each new deal is another opportunity.

As I small child and hearing all the stories about him I, of course, looked up to him as some kind of miracle. Then I got to eight years old and suddenly I was taller than [Bernie Ecclestone].

Actually I think I have forgotten how it was back then. Or probably not – I didn’t qualify. There were only 16 cars in the race.

Don’t forget I started looking at China a long time before any of those races happened. I always thought go east, not west.

Waiters are like hookers, never around when you want them.

Under the engine cover, no one cares what’s in there. Nobody cares.

Women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.

I looked at everyone and wondered where they came from, and who they missed, and what they were sorry for.

Don’t be sorry. Just try not to let him touch you. When he touches you I see red. I can’t take it. I don’t want to see him or anyone else touch you

Would you tell Dank that I will alway love him? That I’m sorry that I can’t leave here. I’m protecting those I love. But I will think of him every day and I will hum his song to myself every night as I go to sleep.

I am sorry for all that I have put you through my dearest heart.

I am sorry for wounding you with my sharp edges before taking pain to refine and mend yourself.

I’m sorry, but I don’t get it. If we’re supposed to ignore everything that’s wrong with our lives, then I can’t see how we’ll ever make things right.

Be good, be kind, be humane, and charitable; love your fellows; console the afflicted; pardon those who have done you wrong.

I’m sorry I wasn’t up to your standards but I’m not sorry I didn’t downgrade myself to get there.
