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

BERNIE ECCLESTONEI believe when you say you’re going to start a race at 2 p.m. then you should stick to that and start the race at 2 p.m. There’s no maybe, could be or should be. You start the race on time. It’s very simple.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEIt’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 ECCLESTONEI was delighted with Baku. People said I was completely mad; I was so happy when it all turned out all right.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEWomen should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEForget what others whisper in your ears. Most of that is pure rubbish that obstructs the view to what really is important. Always make your own decisions. That is what makes us human.
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 ECCLESTONEOur 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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI’d rather get to the 70-year-old guy who’s got plenty of cash.
BERNIE ECCLESTONE[Donald] Trump, I think, is the sort of guy that if he maybe thought he’d made a little bit of a mistake, would find a way out, he wouldn’t want to say, “Well, that’s what I’ve done and I’m sticking to it, and I don’t give a damn.” Which is what the other people in America would be like.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI have earned the money and changed the nappies!
BERNIE ECCLESTONEWith [Vladimir] Putin, he says he’s going to do something, he gets on it, does it.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEBut when it comes to F1 I am a huge Lewis [Hamilton] fan because he is a super promoter of the sport. From a pure business aspect – sorry Nico if I have to say this – you are not so good for my business.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI am happy that we have somebody like Lewis [Hamilton]. I also couldn’t be like Lewis. I don’t like gold jewelry!
BERNIE ECCLESTONEAs I small child and hearing all the stories about him I, of course, looked up to him as some kind of miracle. Then I got to eight years old and suddenly I was taller than [Bernie Ecclestone].
BERNIE ECCLESTONEMy dad always took to his heels when a nappy change was necessary. I am so much looking forward to our child. It is such a wonderfully exciting time right now.
