I am going to have a good look at how things work to see if I can come up with something more equal for all the teams, the Premier League has a good way of distributing the prize money, so maybe that could work for us.

If you're going to try and explain it to the public properly, it's not just a case of 'Okay, the guy was the last one, bye-bye', we'll have to deal with it.

I think there’s lots of things we can do and will be doing, what people needed was a bit of a shake up. I seem to be the only person that has thought we should do something in Formula One, to wake everybody up a little bit. And maybe that’s what’s happened.

The bottom line is simple: in the end, the major shareholder really doesn't want to sell. That's really the truth of things, people keep tempting him. And one day maybe...at the moment, there's people that may be doing a little more than in the past. But I think it will be difficult to get him to say yes.

It's strange that a company as large as Renault are taking such a long time to make a decision, to be honest with you, they've been waiting for us to make a contribution to give them a reason to do something, which we've done two weeks ago. So I don't know.

We got a calculator and worked out what nine years would be, what we've done for them is not anything that we need to do, or had to, but we've done it to try and be helpful and keep Renault in Formula One.

We should have never ever, ever allowed Manor to do what they’ve done. It’s our fault. I predicted this would happen, they had no intention of racing in Australia. Zero. They couldn’t have raced if someone had gone there with a machine gun and put it to their head.
