Bernie Ecclestone

“I've been called a dictator, an autocrat, a Svengali - all sorts of things. But nobody has ever called me a fool.”

“I don't think we are going to have a <strong class="highlight">womanstrong> in F1 in the near future because they are not strong enough.”

“I don't think you can regret things. I did them at the time, and I did them for what I thought was the best reason.”

“Most of the things I've done in my life I've done by instinct. I haven't been programmed.”

“We have a product, which is Formula One, and we have to sell it. We are not here to make friends.”

“The only thing I ever want is to be able to look in the mirror and say, 'I've done my best.'”

“Women should be dressed in white, like all the other domestic appliances.”

“The trouble with democracy is it’s a bit too much messing around.”

“I don't have any heroes. I admire people who get on with the job and do it.”

“Retirement is the worst thing that can happen to a person. It's like a pre-death sentence.”

“It’s a case of how much you are prepared to give up.”

“You have an opinion, I have an opinion, and somebody else has an opinion. Who is right? The one who is strongest.”

“If you have a feeling for racing, you have it. It’s not something you can learn.”

“I'd rather get to the destination and feel I'd gotten there ridiculously quickly. I'd rather have the hell scared out of me than be bored.”
