[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.

Character Formulas One
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.
