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

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

Probably when I gave things to Slavica [ Ecclestone], you know the shares of the company, and things like that. And she put it all in trust and the trust sold the shares. Um, would I turn the clock back if I could and so I still owned the company completely? Probably yes. It probably wasn't a good decision, but it was the decision that had to be made. Was I happy that I made it? No.

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.

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

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