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.

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

Bernie [Ecclestone] is the commercial rights holder so the more outgoing the champion is, the better. Of course. I also do think about our sport and want to make an effort - but in my own way. I am Nico [Rosberg] and not Lewis [Hamilton]!

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

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

If somebody says, "You like putting out fires," and I say, "It's not a case of liking it, but I do put them out, and if there aren't fires left I make them, so I can put them out." It's what we do.

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