Each new deal is another opportunity.

I have earned the money and changed the nappies!

It'd be good for the world if [Donald Trump] won.

Anyone who doesn't speak English isn't worth speaking to

I'm a dealer. That's exactly right. I'm a used car dealer.

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

I have 100 percent confidence in the German judicial system.

What we need now is a Treaty of the World not a Treaty of Rome.

I'd rather get to the 70-year-old guy who's got plenty of cash.

Under the engine cover, no one cares what's in there. Nobody cares.

You need to have proper management if you're going to move forward.

I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.

I can't remember a single occasion when I have been kind to a journalist.

If I feel like something's gonna be right, I invest in it, whatever it is.

Two races we've lost which I'm genuinely upset about were India and Turkey.

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

With [Vladimir] Putin, he says he's going to do something, he gets on it, does it.

A wise man who was always helpful to me: Mr (Enzo) Ferrari. He always supported me.

You have to hope that your opponents are unlucky. Never only rely on your own luck.

[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.

If you say 'Good Morning' in America and it's five past twelve you end up with a lawsuit.

If you're going to take the attitude, I don't think it will work, you will never do anything.

I was always determined that races should begin on time and I never deviated from that policy.

Nico [Rosberg] is not seeking the limelight as Lewis [Hamilton] does. Lewis wants to be famous.

When there is more money at stake it affects the atmosphere and things become more businesslike.

As the cancellation of the German Grand Prix indicates, Germany is a terrible market for Formula One.

They say Formula One is a market which it can't be, obviously. Our market is independent, it's a sport.

You might have asked [about skill] of an artist or a musician or whatever... but with me it just happens.

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

Take away Toto Wolff's Mercedes shirt and send Sebastian [Vettel] down a street - nobody would recognize him.

I suppose it's knowing when you've come up with an idea that works, when you've got it right, whatever it is.

I was delighted with Baku. People said I was completely mad; I was so happy when it all turned out all right.

I am happy that we have somebody like Lewis [Hamilton]. I also couldn't be like Lewis. I don't like gold jewelry!

[Donald] Trump would want to cosy up to him for sure, and he'd be right to do that. Which would be good for the world.

I have always been happy to have daughters rather than sons. You never really can be mad at girls for anything in life.

I never neglected my daughters - quite the opposite - but I suppose I could have and should have spent more time with them.

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

I won't be threatened or intimidated by anyone and I've always been prepared to do what is necessary to defend my interests.

I always thought that dads in the old days where rather macho types who wouldn't get close to a baby, let alone change nappies.

Actually 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.

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.

When people want to built new tracks, they want to look at Silverstone. We don't want it built like that. It's quite embarrassing.

I have so much respect for [Bernie Ecclestone] for what he did with this sport. He did so much more than people in tennis or football.

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.

You can't make decisions if there are no charges or issues to deal with. So it's quite normal to wait until there is some reason to react.

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.

I also would rather race than strut red carpets in Hollywood - and thank God this is not my job - but also the team principals should be more prominent.

People 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.

I don't have any talent as an artist but I do have an awareness for business and what you need to bring to that world. It helps to know what you're good at.

If 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.
