In an era of transparency, you can have innovation without branding, but you cannot have branding without innovation.

When you have two people challenge for the same job and you keep them both and call them co-CEOs, or the whole fiasco of a 'merger of equals'... there is no such a thing. So if there should be dreams of dual leadership, the chances of success are limited. But Bernie [Ecclestone] is still at the top of his game I have noticed.

What still amuses me a bit is that in F1 people see the race basically on TV screens. But I am sure new tracks will be built.

Somebody who is unique - and this will get me into trouble - by definition cannot be replaced.

Technology will have moved on to an unimaginable level in ten years.

The web attacks traditional ways of doing things and elites, and this is very uncomfortable for traditional businesses to deal with.

I'm in a business where there's complete anarchy. You can't control it - you can only react to it. The control that people traditionally had over their message is gone. Look at Wikileaks: you have to approach everything you write on the basis it's going to be on the front page of the newspaper.
