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

Generally 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.

Let's be realistic about that. I think Mercedes when it started the engine [development] didn't have a budget. It spent. And then lots of teams don't and can't. I mean Red Bull, for example, that won four world championships, didn't know the word "budget", and it's a case that it hadn't got the ability to have the engine that it should have had. Because somebody else [Mercedes] had the engine, wouldn't let them have it, because they didn't want competition.

Each new deal is another opportunity.

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.

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.
