If the racing series does not exist for a year, then it disappears in its entirety. Teams that have been operating very close to the limit just wouldn't survive. They rely on racing to generate income and to fulfill their obligations to the promoter.

Drivers are not good at having nothing to do.

I'm very much a people person.

The Red Bull Ring is a ready-made facility, it can be ready in a very short period of time to fit the FIA's criteria.

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

It's a competitive business and obviously a lot of money is involved in the sport and the regulators sometimes have difficult decisions to make, but hopefully for the benefit of Formula 1 and all the fans across the world, we can move forwards into 2008 with all the focus on the race track rather than in the courtroom.

It's always dangerous quoting numbers and expectations.

F1 is a very strong business and it's got enormous heritage.

The competitor within craves to get going, to get racing.

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

It is unnatural for drivers and team members to be sitting on their hands when we would usually be racing.

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.

I did a deal with my parents to take a year out before university at the end of 1992 to try and forge a career in motor sport. I still haven't gone. I left school at 18 and that was it.

Winning is very addictive, that's why it's very hard when suddenly - boom - you are not the favorites any more.

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

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

We're in a good position with the Red Bull juniors. When I look around at what other schemes there are, Red Bull has invested a huge amount in youth and should be commended for giving these guys the opportunity that might otherwise have gone missing.

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 am great believer that, if you put your mind to anything, you can achieve anything.

It's the fear of failure that drives all of us at Red Bull.

I think F1, ultimately, is man and machine at its absolute limit. It is modern day chariot racing.

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

The costs in F1 are extremely high, it is down to the regulators to control those costs through having stable regulations, every time you change the rules, there is a huge cost involved.

F1's ability to problem-solve is second to none and our ability to make rapid prototype parts is again second to none.
