I think we don’t need some people in Brussels trying to run countries that are some distance apart, who don’t speak the same language, don’t eat the same food. There’s a bit of difference between, Holland, if you like, and Italy.

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.

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

Gold Hamilton Jewelry
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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

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

Appliances Dressed White
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.

Car Guy Two
I believe when you say you’re going to start a race at 2 p.m. then you should stick to that and start the race at 2 p.m. There’s no maybe, could be or should be. You start the race on time. It’s very simple.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Believe Race Simple
I always thought that dads in the old days where rather macho types who wouldn’t get close to a baby, let alone change nappies.

Baby Dad Nappies
Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Famous Limelight Want
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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Car Difficulty Somebody Thinking
I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.

People want to build new circuits around the world and they say: ‘We’ll come to Silverstone and have a look how it’s done’, and I tell them to stay away.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Done Looks People
I’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 ECCLESTONE

Mistake Suits Writing You
Two races we’ve lost which I’m genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.

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

Needed Regret Sports
I 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

Come Ideas Knowing Up
If somebody says, “You like putting out fires,” and I say, “It’s not a case of liking it, but I do put them out, and if there aren’t fires left I make them, so I can put them out.” It’s what we do.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Cases Fire Left
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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Decision Issues Waiting
You need to have proper management if you’re going to move forward.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

With [Vladimir] Putin, he says he’s going to do something, he gets on it, does it.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Going Say Something
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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

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

Long Race West
I never neglected my daughters – quite the opposite – but I suppose I could have and should have spent more time with them.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Daughter Opposite Time
