BERNIE ECCLESTONEI won’t be threatened or intimidated by anyone and I’ve always been prepared to do what is necessary to defend my interests.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI can’t remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.

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.
