1
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,240
Someone called me and said I got
somebody that wants to buy Formula One.
2
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,760
I said there's been a few people
who have been trying to do that.
3
00:00:20,784 --> 00:00:23,440
Are they serious, yeh,
we need to talk to somebody.
4
00:00:23,464 --> 00:00:25,360
You want to talk to somebody that owns it.
5
00:00:25,384 --> 00:00:27,640
Probably the best thing to do
because it's not me.
6
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,880
The banks had a majority of the board
7
00:01:06,904 --> 00:01:08,320
and if they had wanted to,
8
00:01:08,344 --> 00:01:09,680
they could have fired me.
9
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,200
But then Donald Mackenzie who ran CVC,
10
00:01:14,224 --> 00:01:15,880
a very successful hedge fund,
11
00:01:15,904 --> 00:01:17,440
wanted to buy Formula One.
12
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,800
And Donald said to me if we buy,
would you stay on and run the company.
13
00:01:26,824 --> 00:01:30,040
Donald said we have to sort the money out.
14
00:01:30,064 --> 00:01:33,120
It's a case of what we could
borrow and the interest rate.
15
00:01:33,144 --> 00:01:36,800
Let's see if we can help them
so I called Fred Goodwin from RBS.
16
00:01:36,824 --> 00:01:41,080
I said Fred, it's a good deal
you're here in my opinion.
17
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,680
So Donald borrowed the money from RBS.
18
00:01:44,704 --> 00:01:46,880
Lo and behold, I had another boss.
19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,360
But I had a few up to now
so I knew exactly how to behave.
20
00:01:52,384 --> 00:01:54,560
If I ever have.
21
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,040
180 miles an hour around the outside
I've never seen anything like it.
22
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,400
Fourth championship again.
Thank you for all these years.
23
00:02:18,183 --> 00:02:20,280
I've decided together with the team
24
00:02:20,304 --> 00:02:21,680
at the end of this year that
25
00:02:21,704 --> 00:02:25,120
I'm going to retire from racing.
26
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,304
Congratulations on Lewis Hamilton
who's such a wonderful prospect
27
00:02:29,304 --> 00:02:32,944
in British motor sport.
Double winner in GP2 this weekend
28
00:02:32,944 --> 00:02:34,640
winning yesterday and winning today.
29
00:02:34,664 --> 00:02:37,464
You're coming through the ranks now.
Everything you've done from Karting
30
00:02:37,464 --> 00:02:40,384
all the way up you've won in every Formula.
You're very much looks like you're
31
00:02:40,384 --> 00:02:43,024
going to win this GP2 season
if you continue at the pace.
32
00:02:43,024 --> 00:02:46,704
But in your eyes now, you know that you've
got an association McLaren, but where do
33
00:02:46,704 --> 00:02:49,304
you really think you can go from here?
Is it truthfully into a McLaren car
34
00:02:49,304 --> 00:02:51,224
or is it somewhere else
down the Formula One pit lane?
35
00:02:51,224 --> 00:02:53,784
I think anything is possible
as you know, there's possibly
36
00:02:53,784 --> 00:02:58,400
a seat available at McLaren, but
that would be a dream to go
37
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,560
into the second McLaren seat.
But I think my aim at the moment
38
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,704
again is to win the GP2 title,
but then we just have to wait
39
00:03:05,704 --> 00:03:08,824
and see. I don't expect to
jump straight into a McLaren.
40
00:03:08,824 --> 00:03:11,464
I would have thought I would go
into one of the lower teams,
41
00:03:11,464 --> 00:03:13,200
but we'll just have to wait and see.
42
00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:23,400
Putting anyone beside Fernando
could be trouble.
43
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,640
This could be the lead going for Hamilton.
44
00:03:28,664 --> 00:03:30,200
Alonso senses an opportunity.
45
00:03:30,224 --> 00:03:32,320
They are side by side down
46
00:03:32,344 --> 00:03:33,960
the pit straight in Indianapolis.
47
00:03:33,984 --> 00:03:36,200
Hamilton holds his nerve.
48
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,720
Ron, I don't think he ever looked
as Lewis being a number 2 driver.
49
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,080
We come to Grand Prix's with a clear
50
00:03:47,104 --> 00:03:48,560
intention of running our
51
00:03:48,584 --> 00:03:50,960
cars equally, giving both
52
00:03:50,984 --> 00:03:53,960
drivers every opportunity to win.
53
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Hamilton deliberately disobeyed
54
00:04:04,544 --> 00:04:06,000
instructions to let the lighter
55
00:04:06,024 --> 00:04:07,800
Alonso passed to go for pole.
56
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,760
Alonso having to wait.
57
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,520
There's Lewis Hamilton
queueing up behind him.
58
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Now Alonso's not getting on with it.
59
00:04:19,024 --> 00:04:20,200
Only a minute forty to go.
60
00:04:20,224 --> 00:04:22,120
Is he blocking Hamilton here?
61
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,440
That was a little bit naughty I think.
62
00:04:25,464 --> 00:04:27,520
I think he deliberately did that.
63
00:04:27,544 --> 00:04:29,360
That is extraordinary.
64
00:04:29,384 --> 00:04:32,480
A bit of gamesmanship within
his team by Fernando Alonso.
65
00:04:32,504 --> 00:04:36,960
Ron Dennis got out of his chair and was
waving his hands around clearly furious.
66
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,680
Well, the McLaren team try to insist
it was a team error but the stewards,
67
00:04:41,704 --> 00:04:44,760
they decided that they didn't believe
what Alonso had to tell them and
68
00:04:44,784 --> 00:04:47,120
they moved him five places
back on the grid.
69
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:50,000
People used to ask me, tell me, what do you
70
00:04:50,024 --> 00:04:51,560
actually do? I tell I'm a firefight
71
00:04:51,584 --> 00:04:54,000
because there was always fires.
72
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:14,000
On the morning of the Hungarian Grand Prix,
Ron rang me and he said, I just had Alonso
73
00:05:14,024 --> 00:05:17,480
in the motor home and he says he's got
information. He's threatening to give it to
74
00:05:17,504 --> 00:05:21,760
the Federation. And then Ron said, but
there isn't any information. So I said,
75
00:05:21,784 --> 00:05:24,840
well, so it's an empty threat.
Yes, a completely empty threat.
76
00:05:24,904 --> 00:05:26,840
There's no information.
There's nothing to come out.
77
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:31,040
I can assure you that if there was
something Max, I would have told you.
78
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:34,880
The FIA say they have the smoking gun.
Proof that McLaren had used Ferrari
79
00:05:34,904 --> 00:05:39,160
secrets to make their own cars go faster.
The new evidence was an email between
80
00:05:39,184 --> 00:05:42,680
test driver Pedro de la Rosa and race
driver Fernando Alonso, discussing
81
00:05:42,704 --> 00:05:46,360
Ferrari's weight distribution, their
flexible wings, braking system and
82
00:05:46,384 --> 00:05:50,320
pit stop strategy. Ron Dennis insists
there was never any Ferrari intellectual
83
00:05:50,344 --> 00:05:52,520
property actually on the McLaren car.
84
00:05:52,544 --> 00:05:56,880
It's very difficult for me when somebody
I've known 40 years, looks me in the eye
85
00:05:56,904 --> 00:06:01,840
and says Max, I'm telling the truth with
complete sincerity and you believe him.
86
00:06:01,864 --> 00:06:07,440
And it was only when I got the list from
the Italian police 323 I think SMS phone
87
00:06:07,464 --> 00:06:11,040
calls going over a three month period.
There has to be more to this,
88
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,640
this is something serious.
89
00:06:12,664 --> 00:06:16,720
I said to Ron beforehand,
when you come into the meeting,
90
00:06:16,744 --> 00:06:21,600
don't come in with 10 lawyers and a doctor
and whatever. I said, just come to yourself
91
00:06:21,624 --> 00:06:28,960
and simply say the truth, I may have made a
mistake in letting what happened happen.
92
00:06:28,984 --> 00:06:33,680
Probably a big mistake
and I'm sorry about this.
93
00:06:33,704 --> 00:06:41,400
I just want to be very clear at no stage
did I ever say any lie to anybody. I put my
94
00:06:41,424 --> 00:06:46,120
integrity above everything, above this
sport and certainly above Formula One.
95
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,960
In the end, Max got really upset
about the whole thing.
96
00:06:50,984 --> 00:06:56,120
I said, Ron you have polluted the
championship in 2007. You've probably
97
00:06:56,144 --> 00:07:00,280
polluted it in 2008 because we have no way
of knowing what information you're using
98
00:07:00,304 --> 00:07:04,680
for what in your 2007, 2008 cars.
So you better stay out of the championship
99
00:07:04,704 --> 00:07:08,560
until 2009 if you're still around because
that way we know it's completely fair.
100
00:07:08,584 --> 00:07:13,080
In the end, I managed to convince the
World Council at that time, all we needed
101
00:07:13,104 --> 00:07:20,120
to do was take away what they would have
earned normally if they did run for two
102
00:07:20,144 --> 00:07:27,400
years and not ban them because if we banned
McLaren they'd never come back and it was
103
00:07:27,424 --> 00:07:29,760
terrible to lose a team like McLaren.
104
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,680
This gentleman here, front row.
What's your next course of action?
105
00:07:43,704 --> 00:07:46,120
Will you accept the penalty?
Are you going to fight it?
106
00:07:46,144 --> 00:07:49,520
Okay. We believe we've got the grounds
for an appeal, but of course we're going
107
00:07:49,544 --> 00:07:52,600
to wait for the findings of the FIA,
which we believe are going to be
108
00:07:52,624 --> 00:07:56,200
published tomorrow and we'll
consider those carefully.
109
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,520
Pity that we lost Ron.
110
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,440
He's one of the old timers that was really
was behind Formula One from very early on.
111
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Kimi Raikkonen is World Champion of 2007
and the dream is over for Lewis Hamilton.
112
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,560
The pictures that have shocked
the world of motor racing.
113
00:08:24,584 --> 00:08:29,520
Spain is under pressure to act after Lewis
Hamilton was racially abused in Barcelona.
114
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,120
Hamilton is not popular in Spain after
a public falling out with Spanish driver
115
00:08:37,144 --> 00:08:38,680
Fernando Alonso last year.
116
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:50,920
It's been reported that a few people,
spectators is to sort of black themselves
117
00:08:50,944 --> 00:08:57,360
up a little bit was leaning on the fence.
So I said, well let's go and find them,
118
00:08:57,384 --> 00:09:02,680
which we did. And I explained to them
which I what I thought I said, I'll tell
119
00:09:02,704 --> 00:09:09,000
you what we ought to do. You're gonna be
here tomorrow. Yeah, they said they were
120
00:09:09,024 --> 00:09:12,400
gonna be there tomorrow. I said, well
tomorrow we'll get hold of you and bring
121
00:09:12,424 --> 00:09:17,960
you into the paddock and you can face up
with Lewis and explain to him
122
00:09:17,984 --> 00:09:19,640
why you've blacked yourself up.
123
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Which they thought was amusing until I
made it clear I wasn't doing it to amuse
124
00:09:28,024 --> 00:09:31,800
anybody. But if they wanted to make a
statement, that would be a good
125
00:09:31,824 --> 00:09:37,360
opportunity to make it.
Funnily enough, they didn't make it.
126
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,440
Welcome to the Singapore Grand Prix.
127
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,480
Some races always produce something
different and interesting
128
00:09:56,504 --> 00:09:58,480
like Singapore for example.
129
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,880
Massa away in the lead.
Hamilton 2nd, Raikkonen 3rd.
130
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,760
In comes Alonzo. Now, he's going to
slip back behind all the traffic.
131
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,040
Oh, big crash. That's Nelson Piquet and
that is likely I would have thought
132
00:10:23,064 --> 00:10:24,960
to bring out a safety car is it?
133
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,520
It looks a mess, but it's a relatively
minor incident. There's a lot of pieces
134
00:10:31,544 --> 00:10:35,800
all over the track. That's gonna work out
very well for those that anticipated
135
00:10:35,824 --> 00:10:37,520
there would be a safety car.
136
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,480
Pit lane is now open.
137
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,040
When this all sorts itself out, Alonso is
going to be leading the Grand Prix.
138
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,280
Massa pits.
139
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000
Oh no! That's a big mistake. Massa's gone.
140
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,840
That is the race leader. Ferrari's made a
catastrophic mistake here in Singapore.
141
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,360
The green flag.
Race is resumed here in Singapore.
142
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Alonso leads the Grand Prix.
143
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,840
Fernando Alonso coming through
to take the checkered flag in
144
00:11:25,864 --> 00:11:29,040
Formula One's first ever night
race and extending his
145
00:11:29,064 --> 00:11:32,200
championship lead.
Lewis Hamilton finishes 3rd.
146
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,440
Felipe Massa crawling
across the line in 13th place.
147
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,240
Piquet's father, Nelson had spoken to his
son to ask him what the hell happened. Why
148
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,360
can you just do stupid things you did?
And I think Piquet explained to his dad
149
00:11:50,384 --> 00:11:52,320
that he was told he ought to do this.
150
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,000
One thing's for sure in my opinion,
it was never Flavio because
151
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,400
he would have never, ever, ever
thought of how to do things like this.
152
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:21,560
Max was really, really unhappy.
I suppose he would have liked Flavio to
153
00:12:21,584 --> 00:12:26,200
confess that it was him that would have
made life easy for Max then
154
00:12:26,224 --> 00:12:29,040
anyway he didn't get the confession.
155
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,800
The penalty for Briatore is that he can no
longer be associated with the team, he can
156
00:12:35,824 --> 00:12:40,960
no longer be associated with the series,
he can no longer come to the paddock of any
157
00:12:40,984 --> 00:12:46,280
FIA championship event and he can no
longer manage drivers in Formula One.
158
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,320
Do you still count that race as a
proper race, victory for yourself?
159
00:13:01,344 --> 00:13:03,360
Yes, I do.
160
00:13:03,384 --> 00:13:06,320
Even though the team
effectively manufactured it.
161
00:13:06,344 --> 00:13:10,160
But I think that's uh interpretation.
162
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,960
Massa! Massa!
163
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,640
Massa! Massa!
164
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Massa! Massa!
165
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,920
So Lewis all he really wants is
5th place or better this afternoon.
166
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,600
The final stages of
this world championship.
167
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,280
Oh my goodness me, Vettel has taken
a place and that could cost
168
00:13:42,304 --> 00:13:43,920
Hamilton the World Championship.
169
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,640
Only a few corners to go now
and desperation starts to creep
170
00:13:49,664 --> 00:13:51,160
in for Lewis Hamilton.
171
00:13:57,560 --> 00:13:59,680
Is that Glock? Is that Glock going slowly?
172
00:13:59,704 --> 00:14:03,440
Oh my goodness me, Hamilton's
back in position again.
173
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,840
He is going to claim 5th place
which is all he needs to do
174
00:14:09,864 --> 00:14:14,360
to become 2008 Formula One World Champion.
175
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,520
Slavica was fed up my traveling.
I think in fairness to her,
176
00:14:59,544 --> 00:15:04,400
I think I promised her so many times.
This is going to be the last year
177
00:15:04,424 --> 00:15:07,080
and I'm gonna step down.
178
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,000
I think she knew it wasn't true,
it wasn't gonna happen.
179
00:15:12,024 --> 00:15:15,560
Even if it was my intention,
she knew I wouldn't carry it out.
180
00:15:15,584 --> 00:15:19,960
So she decided she was 50 years old.
181
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,560
She was well off.
And I think she thought she could have a
182
00:15:28,584 --> 00:15:35,160
much happier life and
she decided she should leave.
183
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:43,080
So it was the end of me being with Slavica.
I've been with her for 28 years odd.
184
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:55,240
It really is one of the biggest failures
that I had when I wanted to do something to
185
00:15:55,264 --> 00:15:57,680
make something happen and it didn't happen.
186
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:32,680
We renew with CVC or we theoretically as
the basketball teams in America did many
187
00:16:32,704 --> 00:16:39,040
years ago with the big success, create our
own company like NBA just to run to the
188
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:48,920
races, the TV rights and so
and third to find a different partner.
189
00:16:48,944 --> 00:16:53,400
I don't know whether the teams
wanted to actually run Formula One
190
00:16:53,424 --> 00:16:55,080
in the way they thought it should be run.
191
00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:00,160
This will be very important the team
decisions because at the end of 2012
192
00:17:00,184 --> 00:17:04,480
our contract will expire.
So theoretically CVC doesn't own anything.
193
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,800
In fact they discussed the fact that they
should get together Formula One Teams
194
00:17:09,824 --> 00:17:13,720
Association where they thought they
could be in a much better position.
195
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Formula One has been thrown into chaos with
eight of its major teams saying they're now
196
00:17:18,344 --> 00:17:22,040
planning to set up a rival championship.
The threat is over a row with the
197
00:17:22,064 --> 00:17:26,400
motor sports governing body over proposals
to limit how much each team can spend.
198
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,760
Do you think there will be a resolution?
199
00:17:30,784 --> 00:17:32,840
I have no idea. Speak to Max.
200
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,680
We must operate up the cost cap if you
possible under present circumstances
201
00:17:37,704 --> 00:17:40,080
is to operate any other way.
202
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:47,400
Max wanted it to be restricted to an
absolute maximum of 40 million a year.
203
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:51,760
The basic issue is very simple.
We cannot go on spending the
204
00:17:51,784 --> 00:17:54,240
sort of money that's been spent.
So what we're saying is,
205
00:17:54,264 --> 00:17:57,360
limit the expenditure and then a
clever engineer within that
206
00:17:57,384 --> 00:17:59,720
expenditure can do
whatever he likes on the chassis.
207
00:17:59,744 --> 00:18:04,560
This is a row about money and power.
Teams don't like the idea of having budget
208
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:09,440
caps imposed upon them from above,
but the FIA regards smaller budgets as
209
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:13,640
essential if the sport is to survive
in these difficult economic times.
210
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,400
It's in the nature of a loony that
you don't really have a leader that
211
00:18:16,424 --> 00:18:19,240
you also loonies together.
Generally speaking, they find it very
212
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:20,400
difficult to agree on anything.
213
00:18:20,424 --> 00:18:21,400
What's your next step?
214
00:18:21,424 --> 00:18:25,280
The next step that we're going to take
because trying to take something which
215
00:18:25,304 --> 00:18:30,440
isn't yours is not really in accordance
with the law. So next week we will be
216
00:18:30,464 --> 00:18:34,240
issuing legal proceedings against,
against Ferrari and also against FOTA.
217
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,440
This weekend, Bahrain is hosting a
Grand Prix. When Moseley's traveled there
218
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:55,960
in the past, he's received a royal welcome.
But the crown prince of Bahrain here on the
219
00:18:55,984 --> 00:19:01,040
right has written to him asking him to stay
away this time, informing him that his
220
00:19:01,064 --> 00:19:02,680
presence there would be inappropriate.
221
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,880
Mex had another problem. This is how he was
reported and carrying out sort of sexual
222
00:19:08,904 --> 00:19:14,160
acts and beatings and all sorts of things.
Whatever journalists could even think about
223
00:19:14,184 --> 00:19:15,640
or even wish could happen.
224
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,760
But Max Mosley insists that there were no
Nazi connections to anything that happened.
225
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:27,400
I said to Max, we've gone to millions of
meetings together. The one meeting I would
226
00:19:27,424 --> 00:19:29,480
have loved to have gone with,
I never got an invite.
227
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:35,640
Motoring organizations, Formula One
teams and manufacturers and personalities
228
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,720
around Formula One have been suggesting
that Max Mosley must step down as
229
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,160
president of the FIA,
the ultimate governing body of the sport.
230
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,880
Corporation like Toyota and the team can't
really accept behavior of that nature.
231
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,280
If he had been working for any
multinational corporation public company,
232
00:19:55,304 --> 00:20:01,640
a theory would have already had to resign
because the moral issue is part of that.
233
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:08,920
A person in his position with his
background, it's unbelievable.
234
00:20:09,044 --> 00:20:12,360
Significantly this morning, his long term
partner at the head of Formula One,
235
00:20:12,384 --> 00:20:15,760
Bernie Ecclestone refused to give an
interview that would either criticize or
236
00:20:15,784 --> 00:20:20,040
even defend his old friend instead just
saying that Moseley's future is now
237
00:20:20,064 --> 00:20:22,680
entirely a matter for the FIA.
238
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,640
I had an awful lot of pressure.
The sponsors called me.
239
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,760
All the teams called me.
Promoters called me.
240
00:20:32,784 --> 00:20:37,440
There was no one that didn't call.
So you must insist that Max goes.
241
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:42,760
The sport is losing certain power,
certain sponsorships and a break up
242
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:46,180
is possibly imminent if he doesn't
make that decision quite soon.
243
00:20:46,204 --> 00:20:51,820
It's the first time you know that I've done
such a thing, which I knew was wrong to do.
244
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,700
So the World Council meeting, I
apologized to Max in front of everyone.
245
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,900
I was more hurt. I think Max was in it
when it all happened that I'm not
246
00:21:15,924 --> 00:21:20,920
supporting him but have been against him.
And it's something I should never forget.
247
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,320
Speed is everything in Formula one.
But even so the pace of today's deal
248
00:21:29,344 --> 00:21:33,280
between FIA President Max Mosley and
Ferrari's Luca di Montezemolo
249
00:21:33,304 --> 00:21:34,640
caught many by surprise.
250
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,000
Ah dear oh dear.
251
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,680
Yeah, I mean but, good quality people.
252
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,240
In those days, they used to get a
percentage of the television revenue
253
00:21:48,264 --> 00:21:52,400
having made an agreement where they got a
percentage of everything the company made.
254
00:21:52,424 --> 00:21:59,440
Which was about 70%.
No FOTA and no more money for the teams.
255
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:07,000
One of the goal that we shared with Max
one year ago was to maintain the most
256
00:22:07,024 --> 00:22:12,520
important teams and the car manufacturers
in Formula One. There is a commitment to
257
00:22:12,544 --> 00:22:17,720
stay in Formula one at least until 2012.
But as far as Ferrari is concerned,
258
00:22:17,744 --> 00:22:21,520
this is not only Ferrari is
indefinite for, for the future.
259
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:28,640
Had the teams decided they wasn't
going to sign, it would have been
260
00:22:28,664 --> 00:22:32,600
very easy to get another group of
people to produce Formula One cars
261
00:22:32,624 --> 00:22:38,360
and do exactly that. Formula One
teams are like actors in the film.
262
00:22:38,384 --> 00:22:44,000
It's a film that makes the actors
not the actors that make the film.
263
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,560
Whilst on the face of it, this was an
argument about cutting costs, what the
264
00:22:49,584 --> 00:22:53,280
teams really wanted was a greater say
in the running of Formula One
265
00:22:53,304 --> 00:22:55,140
and they wanted Mosley out.
266
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:05,480
Max was ready to stand down from the FIA.
He had more or less enough of what he was
267
00:23:05,504 --> 00:23:13,160
doing. And he didn't do this until he knew
he could find somebody that could replace
268
00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:20,760
him and he spoke to Jean Todt. He spoke to
me about this and we agreed probably
269
00:23:20,784 --> 00:23:22,640
Todt would be the right guy.
270
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:28,720
I love racing, you know, I mean why I've
been aiming for this position because I
271
00:23:28,744 --> 00:23:34,220
love cars, I love racing and
I'm motivated to go for it.
272
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,680
Max had never managed to
achieve what he really wanted
273
00:23:38,704 --> 00:23:43,920
to achieve. It wasn't being
president of the FIA at all.
274
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:55,943
He was a politician basically and he
would have been a super Prime Minister.
275
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,560
He's a controversial billionaire who's
been the boss of Formula one for three
276
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,680
decades and in that time Bernie
Ecclestone's rub shoulders with world
277
00:24:06,704 --> 00:24:12,400
leaders. Today in an interview with The
Times, he criticized contemporary
278
00:24:12,424 --> 00:24:14,920
politicians and commented on Adolf Hitler.
279
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:21,640
I get a little bit upset when people say
I'm anti-Semitic or against black people
280
00:24:21,664 --> 00:24:24,200
or anything is completely utterly wrong.
281
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,720
He believes in a form of dictatorship
because he always believed that no one
282
00:24:29,744 --> 00:24:33,440
else will agree, he'll have to pull them
together and it will be his way or no way.
283
00:24:39,620 --> 00:24:42,960
While few will argue against the need for
strong leadership, it is Ecclestone's
284
00:24:42,984 --> 00:24:45,880
reference to Adolf Hitler
that upsets some people.
285
00:24:45,904 --> 00:24:49,400
Typical of journalists and I don't blame
them, they have to write something the
286
00:24:49,424 --> 00:24:56,280
majority of people like to hear. I'm not
anti-Semitic, never have been, never will
287
00:24:56,304 --> 00:24:59,640
be. And I'm not against black people.
288
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:13,120
Seb is mothered by Red Bull. He's a very
sensitive guy. So it's good for him at Red
289
00:25:13,144 --> 00:25:20,160
Bull. Seb and I got on from day one. We
used to go on holiday together and meet
290
00:25:20,184 --> 00:25:26,240
each other, come to the house at Christmas
because he lives in Switzerland. I taught
291
00:25:26,264 --> 00:25:32,680
him to play Backgammon. He's a winner and
does get upset if he doesn't win.
292
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Christian Horner, the team manager used to
say to me, make sure when you play
293
00:26:05,784 --> 00:26:10,960
backgammon before the race that you beat
him because he gets so aggressive.
294
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,400
We have four contenders.
Who will be champion today?
295
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,620
Sebastian Vettel,
you are the World Champion!
296
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,200
If there's one team who knows
how to party, it's Red Bull.
297
00:26:40,663 --> 00:26:44,200
The new World Champion
Sebastian Vettel.
298
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,960
You're a triple world champion.
299
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,600
Sebastian Vettel wins at India.
300
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,280
I said if we have to lose a team
and which is the one we can't
301
00:27:33,304 --> 00:27:38,540
afford to lose I'd say
Red Bull and Ferrari.
302
00:27:52,980 --> 00:27:56,480
A number of different disciplines are
required to run this business. Any other
303
00:27:56,504 --> 00:28:01,480
business engineering, as well as business
practices, accounting, etcetera, is a
304
00:28:01,504 --> 00:28:02,940
combined board that will run the business.
305
00:28:03,064 --> 00:28:08,040
Frank was one of those guys. He was
always very positive about everything.
306
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,160
Even after this accident.
307
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:16,660
It's just too much for me.
Really nice thanks.
308
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:33,880
He was a special, special person.
309
00:29:01,180 --> 00:29:04,000
Michael, he was never born
to be with Mercedes.
310
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,820
It is without doubt that we did not
achieve our goals to develop a world
311
00:29:17,844 --> 00:29:22,400
championship fighting car. It's good to
say goodbye and that's what I'm doing
312
00:29:22,424 --> 00:29:28,160
here with by the end of the season and
it might this time even be forever.
313
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Nikki realized what a valuable driver
Lewis was and he found some way of
314
00:29:51,024 --> 00:29:55,800
persuading him he should be driving for
Mercedes. If he didn't get paid what he
315
00:29:55,824 --> 00:30:01,560
wanted, Lewis, he wasn't going to agree.
So I said at least somebody that I think
316
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Mercedes needs, I'll pay the difference.
But eventually Mercedes paid.
317
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,960
After nearly four decades in charge,
Ecclestone finds himself in the
318
00:30:15,984 --> 00:30:19,400
high court in what is the biggest
challenge of his career.
319
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:28,520
German media company Constantin Medien
claimed that he finalized a multi-million
320
00:30:28,544 --> 00:30:33,200
dollar payment to a banker called
Gerhard Gribkowsky resulting in F1 being
321
00:30:33,224 --> 00:30:37,880
deliberately undervalued when it was sold
and then losing out on commission and so
322
00:30:37,904 --> 00:30:40,520
they're suing for 140 million dollars.
323
00:30:40,644 --> 00:30:44,560
Ecclestone is accused of entering into a
corrupt agreement with this man,
324
00:30:44,584 --> 00:30:50,280
German banker Gerhard Gribkowsky who was
selling his bank's stake in Formula One.
325
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,520
It's alleged the deal facilitated
that sale which included its lucrative
326
00:30:54,544 --> 00:30:59,640
TV rights to Ecclestone's chosen buyer
who in turn would agree to keep
327
00:30:59,664 --> 00:31:01,840
him on as boss of Formula One.
328
00:31:01,864 --> 00:31:05,560
Today we've been hearing evidence from
Donald Mackenzie who is the chairman of
329
00:31:05,584 --> 00:31:11,800
CVC partners, the private equity group
who bought F1, 7 years ago. He said if
330
00:31:11,824 --> 00:31:16,200
Bernie Ecclestone has done something
criminally wrong, he would be fired.
331
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,320
The judge ruled that the
shares weren't sold too cheap.
332
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,080
Today a legal victory but it may not have
felt that way for Ecclestone with the high
333
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:31,800
court ruling he paid a bribe to secure
a deal to sell F1 back in 2005.
334
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
I never bribed anyone.
335
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,320
You emphatically maintain
your innocence, don't you?
336
00:31:39,344 --> 00:31:40,120
Absolutely.
337
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,120
No corrupt agreement, no corrupt bargain.
338
00:31:43,144 --> 00:31:44,120
No, no.
339
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,760
You confident that you can stay at
the control and at the top of Formula One?
340
00:31:48,784 --> 00:31:51,880
I'm happy doing what I do.
The minute I'm not, I leave.
341
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:11,520
After the trial in England, it opened the
doors a little bit. The people to start
342
00:32:11,544 --> 00:32:18,560
thinking that maybe there was something
else. So I was prosecuted in Germany.
343
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,560
They were very nice about these things.
I went a couple of days a week.
344
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:30,600
The whole trial with evidence obviously in
German so I sat there peacefully.
345
00:32:30,624 --> 00:32:37,120
I'd obviously managed to acquire it but
turned out decent lawyers to defend me.
346
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:44,800
We are in a situation where we can make
our statement and have a fair chance to
347
00:32:44,824 --> 00:32:49,280
explain how the events run at that time.
348
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,400
And during the break for lunch,
they bring me up to speed.
349
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:14,800
We've been there I think three months or
four months or something and Sven decided
350
00:33:14,824 --> 00:33:20,640
that this could go on forever and maybe
there was a good way of sorting this out.
351
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:27,920
Basically in a very crude and not very
nice way to put it, you can buy your way
352
00:33:27,944 --> 00:33:35,160
out of these things. So I met with the
prosecutor. Just tell me how much you're
353
00:33:35,184 --> 00:33:41,480
looking for to settle this.
He said, well you're very rich.
354
00:33:41,504 --> 00:33:46,640
Would you like to make an offer?
And I've got to have three figures.
355
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,880
100 million.
356
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,000
I said there's three figures
what you're asking for
357
00:33:56,024 --> 00:34:00,680
Put out my hand to shake hands with him
358
00:34:00,704 --> 00:34:06,200
in the normal used car dealer fashion
which he said, shook hands.
359
00:34:06,224 --> 00:34:13,080
The judge is happy to accept that
and he said to me, can you pay that?
360
00:34:13,104 --> 00:34:21,120
I said if we hurry before the
banks close, I think we can manage.
361
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,760
Am I happy? I'm happy
to get back to the office.
362
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,760
Hamilton wins the Italian Grand Prix.
The margin three seconds over his
363
00:34:40,784 --> 00:34:44,920
teammate Nico Rosberg.
It's another one-two for Mercedes.
364
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:50,760
Has he got the cap?
365
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,520
They're a bit optimistic thinking that
that flag might be celebrating
366
00:34:55,544 --> 00:34:59,400
one of the three podium men.
The disappointing season for Ferrari.
367
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,760
It was a little bit of a surprise
when Luca decided to disappear
368
00:35:20,784 --> 00:35:25,600
from Formula One because nobody
could ever expect that to happen.
369
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:38,520
My first meeting with Bernie Ecclestone
was in the middle of 1973 in a hotel in
370
00:35:38,544 --> 00:35:44,760
the airport where we used to have a
meeting to Formula One and I'd be
371
00:35:44,784 --> 00:35:47,400
sent there from Enzo Ferrari.
372
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:57,680
I mean he was Ferrari, no doubt about that.
Everybody looked at him as Ferrari.
373
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:10,240
Lewis Hamilton is the 2014 World Champion.
374
00:36:13,940 --> 00:36:14,780
Well done.
375
00:36:15,820 --> 00:36:19,480
World Champion.
First Mercedes Benz champion since Fangio.
376
00:36:47,540 --> 00:36:48,360
Good day.
377
00:36:48,384 --> 00:36:49,600
For you.
378
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,340
Lewis Hamilton and he's now
a three time World Champion.
379
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,920
You start thinking about, you know
everything, you've gone through the trials
380
00:37:25,944 --> 00:37:30,240
and tribulations, what my dad did to get
me there, the sacrifice that my dad had
381
00:37:30,264 --> 00:37:33,680
four jobs at one stage, he was just
putting for sale signs up in vending
382
00:37:33,704 --> 00:37:36,560
machines and doing anything he could
just to keep me Go-Karting.
383
00:37:36,584 --> 00:37:37,480
And then you sack him.
384
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,400
Well, yeah.
385
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:54,280
Donald Mackenzie rented a really nice boat.
Chase Carey and Sean Bratches and their
386
00:37:54,304 --> 00:38:03,280
wives wanted to see royal. We had dinner
together and talked about things in general
387
00:38:03,304 --> 00:38:08,960
and never really much about the business,
but more about Monaco and Formula One.
388
00:38:08,984 --> 00:38:14,960
Business wasn't discussed there at all. I
think what they really thought in the end,
389
00:38:14,984 --> 00:38:20,080
the bottom line was simple. Here we've got
an 80 year old guy that's been running
390
00:38:20,104 --> 00:38:25,560
this company for 40 years. Imagine us
proper American business people,
391
00:38:25,584 --> 00:38:29,000
if we had the company, what we could do.
392
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,600
Hello Bernie, I haven't talked to you on
the grid for a while.
393
00:38:34,624 --> 00:38:38,360
Is there something big going down
in Formula One ownership?
394
00:38:38,384 --> 00:38:44,440
I don't think so. A lot of conversations
good for the press, you know, they've got
395
00:38:44,464 --> 00:38:46,380
nothing else to write about.
This is all good.
396
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,840
I believe the deal is going to happen with
a minority shareholding initially with
397
00:38:50,864 --> 00:38:56,240
Liberty Media guy called Chase Carey
coming in as chairman, presumably
398
00:38:56,264 --> 00:39:00,520
executive chairman, which obviously has
implications on where Mr. E.
399
00:39:00,544 --> 00:39:03,280
fits in it all and...
If that's the case, is your hunch
400
00:39:03,304 --> 00:39:05,880
that this could be the
end of Bernie Ecclestone.
401
00:39:05,904 --> 00:39:08,960
If the deal gets concluded,
changes will take place.
402
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,960
Welcome back. Bernie Ecclestone says he is
prepared to stay in his role as the chief
403
00:39:15,984 --> 00:39:20,760
executive of Formula One following
Liberty Media which belongs to John Malone,
404
00:39:20,784 --> 00:39:24,760
the news that has bought the company that
has a controlling stake in Formula One.
405
00:39:24,784 --> 00:39:29,120
The company that has that stake is CVC and
now Liberty Media has bought a
406
00:39:29,144 --> 00:39:33,640
controlling stake for $4.4 billion.
Take debt involved in the actual size
407
00:39:33,664 --> 00:39:37,200
becomes about $8 billion.
Ecclestone is set to stay for now but
408
00:39:37,224 --> 00:39:39,120
there's a new chairman. Chase Carey.
409
00:39:39,820 --> 00:39:42,200
We have somebody who knows
what they're doing for a change.
410
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:44,980
I'm just here learning from Bernie,
411
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,440
I shall have to retire one day for sure.
412
00:40:10,464 --> 00:40:12,360
Looking forward to it or
413
00:40:12,384 --> 00:40:14,760
Why, nobody looks forward to dying.
414
00:40:14,784 --> 00:40:18,280
I remember you winding me up
years ago when I first met you.
415
00:40:18,304 --> 00:40:23,280
And then one day I had a call from then
new Chief Executive of the company saying
416
00:40:23,304 --> 00:40:29,200
could we meet up on Monday. I said sure,
sure. What time not to 10 o'clock. I said
417
00:40:29,224 --> 00:40:36,240
yeah fine. So I appeared smartly dressed
with a tie. Well I thought you know
418
00:40:36,264 --> 00:40:41,360
make a good appearance in case they want
me to hang on so I'll be looking for a
419
00:40:41,384 --> 00:40:48,120
job so let's see what happens. And I was
greeted although Chase was a bit late.
420
00:40:48,144 --> 00:40:54,520
He said we bought the company.
I said I know. I knew because
421
00:40:54,544 --> 00:40:59,880
I had all the shares that they bought.
So yeah I know and he said ...
422
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:08,920
I'll take your job. So I said you bought
the car you might as well drive it.
423
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:18,120
And then well that lawyer had been
with me for years working for me
424
00:41:18,144 --> 00:41:25,840
appeared with a bit of paper written out.
They said this is a sort of leaving the
425
00:41:25,864 --> 00:41:30,520
company saying you're gonna leave because
I had still had a three year contract
426
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:38,440
to go. So I said yeah so she said to me,
there it is and I said what is it?
427
00:41:38,464 --> 00:41:44,960
She said it's you're resigning. So I said
where do I sign? Got a pen and signed
428
00:41:44,984 --> 00:41:48,280
and that was the end of that.
429
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:58,480
It's really like a marriage really.
Easy to get in, difficult to get out.
430
00:41:58,504 --> 00:42:00,760
So I got out.
431
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:06,020
So that was the end of Formula one for me.
432
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:29,400
And then I was gone.
433
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,920
I can honestly say I've never planned
anything. I've seen opportunities.
434
00:42:40,944 --> 00:42:46,120
If I think they're worth it,
I take them and try and make them work.
435
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:53,120
Sometimes they work well and sometimes
I wish I hadn't have jumped in.
436
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,200
But overall I've been lucky.
437
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,080
Bernie is really a gardener.
438
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:18,520
He found this piece of land and planted
some seeds that grew quickly and others
439
00:43:18,544 --> 00:43:25,520
that would take many seasons. Sometimes
he had to cut things down even if they
440
00:43:25,544 --> 00:43:31,560
were very beautiful because Bernie always
knew what the garden would be.
441
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:40,360
Bernie's garden will look after
itself when his garden was made to last.
