You have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEYou have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.
BERNIE ECCLESTONENico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEIf we didn’t have Nico [Rosberg] and Lewis [Hamilton] in those cars – there’s one or two guys down the field who in those cars would have delivered the same.
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’d rather get to the 70-year-old guy who’s got plenty of cash.
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 ECCLESTONEIt’s the best thing to happen to a sport, that you have a superstar. In football there is always something to write about the Beckhams, same as people want to write about Rooney or Hooney or whatever his bloody name is.
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 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 ECCLESTONEYou need to have proper management if you’re going to move forward.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI always thought that dads in the old days where rather macho types who wouldn’t get close to a baby, let alone change nappies.
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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEWhen people want to built new tracks, they want to look at Silverstone. We don’t want it built like that. It’s quite embarrassing.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEI have earned the money and changed the nappies!
BERNIE ECCLESTONEGenerally 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.
BERNIE ECCLESTONEPeople want to build new circuits around the world and they say: ‘We’ll come to Silverstone and have a look how it’s done’, and I tell them to stay away.
