[Maurizio Arrivabene is quite a character] but only for himself and not for Formula One.
Bernie EcclestoneActually 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.
Bernie EcclestoneI am happy that we have somebody like Lewis [Hamilton]. I also couldn't be like Lewis. I don't like gold jewelry!
Bernie EcclestoneProbably 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.
Bernie EcclestoneIt's the engine. They should have never had that. The biggest mistake people have made... I say, "people," because it wasn't just me alone, was not insisting Mercedes supply Red Bull an engine. Because had they supplied the same engine as they had, you would have seen good racing, you would have seen Red Bull up there last year.
