Waiters are like hookers, never around when you want them.

Bernie Ecclestone

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.

Cases Fire Left
Two races we’ve lost which I’m genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.

Country Race Two
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.

Mistake Suits Writing You
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.

Country Thinking Trying
I have a lot of faith in justice systems around the world even though there were cases in the past where that faith wasn’t justified in some countries.

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.

Believe Fashion Names
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.

Easier Hamilton Thinking
I think in the end officials in each country’s judicial system will do what they believe is right because if they do something bad to somebody it’s on their conscience for the rest of their lives.

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

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.

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