Management Moving Needs
It’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 ECCLESTONE

Country Thinking Trying
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.

When people want to built new tracks, they want to look at Silverstone. We don’t want it built like that. It’s quite embarrassing.

Looks People Track
You’re born with certain gifts and you use them as best you can in life. You begin to learn and recognize that you have certain skills and aptitudes that you apply and use them to carry you forward.

Aptitude Skills Use
My 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.

Daughter Personality Strong
Two races we’ve lost which I’m genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.

Country Race Two
I think I would find it easier to talk with Nico [Rosenberg] than Lewis [Hamilton], as Lewis is into things that are very distant to me.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Easier Hamilton Thinking
I am happy that we have somebody like Lewis [Hamilton]. I also couldn’t be like Lewis. I don’t like gold jewelry!

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.

Lot Sports Team Technical
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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Before Normally Thinking Two Winning
I was delighted with Baku. People said I was completely mad; I was so happy when it all turned out all right.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE

Mad People Said
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.
