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.

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.

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.

Before they go to the race, people want to think four or five guys could win, but now… Normally you’d say, “One of those two, and I think it’s going to be Lewis [Hamiltom],” because that’s what had been proved up to now – thank God that Nico [Rosberg] has won some races.

Generally I still believe that Lewis [Hamilton] is the best champion that we have had in a long, long time. He manages to get to all different walks of life: red carpet, fashion business, and music – you name it.

You can’t compare eras. But drivers of each era adapt to the needs and climate of their time. There are good and bad points to every era of the sport. I’m not really nostalgic about the past.

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

If I feel like something’s gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.

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.
