I would put my money on both my drivers to win if it came down a streetfight.

When I started there was Frank Williams, Flavio Briatore, Ron Dennis, Eddie Jordan and Peter Sauber round the table. These were entrepreneurial team owners, mavericks in some respects.

There are no team orders within Red Bull Racing, other than that the drivers should race each other with respect.

When you don't experience something for a long time you realize how much you love it and how much you miss it.

Sport can change so quickly where confidence is such a big factor.

We're very clear in the race that priority will be given to the lead car and more risk will be taken with the tail car. Sometimes that will work out, sometimes it won't, but it's very clear going into the event that those are the rules of engagement.

The prospect of being able to run a race behind closed doors is absolutely feasible.

You've got different governments and manufacturers saying, 'Oh, we'll be electric and autonomous by 2030 or whatever.' In my view Formula One is at a crossroads. What is its purpose? We have Formula E, and a lot of manufacturers are morphing into that area. But the emotion, the entertainment, the excitement of those cars just isn't there.

I have a long-term contract with the team and have said many times that there is only one Bernie Ecclestone. What he has done for Formula One is incredible and in my opinion he is irreplaceable.

Red Bull is an energy drinks company operating a team in F1, of course it doesn't sit particularly well when you are competing against iconic brands like Ferrari and Mercedes. We are happy to be perceived as a bit of a maverick.

Our target is to compete with Ferrari and Mercedes.

The drivers are the stars; the drivers are the heroes.

Mercedes and Ferrari fear Red Bull more than any other team because they know the potency and capability that we have.

Sixty points is massive, especially when you are racing a Mercedes with another 70 horsepower.

The number one driver in this team is the one who is ahead on the track, the rule is simple.

I think too often you see parts being taken from one engine to go onto another... That's been too much of a theme over the whole hybrid era, and that must compromise dyno time, that must compromise endurance running, and so on.

We want to be a works partner. Ferrari and Mercedes have their own works teams so where would you be in the pecking order if you're a customer?

And I'd get back to the cars being physical challenges to drive - to tame the beast. The cars we have at the moment are fantastic bits of engineering, but it's a little too comfortable, a little too easy. I think I'd go back to making the driver a bigger variable.

The great thing about Daniel Ricciardo is you can't not like him, he's got a big smile, he loves what he does, he's a great personality.

You know, Theresa May, she's doing the best she can with not a great hand, a little bit like Chase Carey really.

When you win a Grand Prix, it's the culmination of everything coming together. Not just trackside, but behind the scenes.

I'm very much a people person.

The roll out of a new car is always filled with great anticipation; it's almost like going back to school for a new school year.

I've always felt that age is just a number - it's not how old or how young you are, it's how you conduct yourself.

We do the best we can and the great thing about this sport is every two weeks you know whether it is good enough or not.
