“If we didn’t have Nico [Rosberg] and Lewis [Hamilton] in those cars – there’s one or two guys down the field who in those cars would have delivered the same.”

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 can’t remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.

If you’re going to take the attitude, I don’t think it will work, you will never do anything.

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.

I have a lot of faith in justice systems around the world even though there were cases in the past where that faith wasn’t justified in some countries.

I have 100 percent confidence in the German judicial system.

[When I’ll be old I see myself] as a world champion, on a big farm with an Italian-style, big family with a whole bunch of grandchildren. And the foundations for that I have already laid!

Lewis [Hamilton] is a hero in the UK. The British love Formula One. Sebastian (Vettel) is also not doing much for F1. People hardly recognize him on the street.

Our sport is ruled whether it’s for good and bad, or whatever, for technical things. There’s lots of teams out there that could and should have done better if they’d have had technical things. I suppose in the end that basically revolves around how much money they’re gonna get.

When people want to built new tracks, they want to look at Silverstone. We don’t want it built like that. It’s quite embarrassing.

I’ve never told anybody this, so I don’t know if maybe you shouldn’t print it, but I’ve made plans. I’m only going to continue doing this for another 25 years.

It’s the best thing to happen to a sport, that you have a superstar. In football there is always something to write about the Beckhams, same as people want to write about Rooney or Hooney or whatever his bloody name is.

It’s not as easy as that… it’s disappointing to think that all these countries spend a lot of money trying to get the Olympics.

I had a sympathetic role in ‘thirtysomething,’ and in two weeks I’m going to do the role again.

You never know what class you belong to unless you’re one of the two or three people that have been in the same echelon for a long, long time.

The real two-party system in America is the Meanies and the Weenies.

Well, he had two stabs at the cherry

Such caution seems especially warranted with regard to the sharp rise in equity prices during the past two years. These gains have obviously raised questions of sustainability.

Most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.

In the last two years, the Mexicans have detained nearly 400,000 migrants whose intent was to come to the United States.

When I start writing, I do two pages a day; if I’m gonna do 320, that’s 160 days.
