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.

BERNIE ECCLESTONEI have earned the money and changed the nappies!
BERNIE ECCLESTONEIt’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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONELewis [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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEWaiters are like hookers, never around when you want them.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEYou might have asked [about skill] of an artist or a musician or whatever… but with me it just happens.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI suppose it’s knowing when you’ve come up with an idea that works, when you’ve got it right, whatever it is.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE[Donald] Trump, I think, is the sort of guy that if he maybe thought he’d made a little bit of a mistake, would find a way out, he wouldn’t want to say, “Well, that’s what I’ve done and I’m sticking to it, and I don’t give a damn.” Which is what the other people in America would be like.

BERNIE ECCLESTONEI think in the end officials in each country’s judicial system will do what they believe is right because if they do something bad to somebody it’s on their conscience for the rest of their lives.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI have 100 percent confidence in the German judicial system.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI’d rather the handshake for somebody that I can trust than a contract. Because you can read the bloody contract – perhaps if you made a little bit of a mistake writing it – in a way to suit you.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEIf 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.
