BERNIE ECCLESTONEIf you say ‘Good Morning’ in America and it’s five past twelve you end up with a lawsuit.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEYou need to have proper management if you’re going to move forward.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEA wise man who was always helpful to me: Mr (Enzo) Ferrari. He always supported me.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI’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 ECCLESTONEI have always been happy to have daughters rather than sons. You never really can be mad at girls for anything in life.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEYou have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI 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 ECCLESTONEActually 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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI have no regrets about the amount of work I put into the sport. This is what I needed to do with my life.

BERNIE ECCLESTONEI 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.

BERNIE ECCLESTONEMy daughters have strong personalities. I’m close to them but they don’t really need me to advise them on how to manage their lives and they don’t ask me to do that.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI’m a dealer. That’s exactly right. I’m a used car dealer.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEIf 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.
