BERNIE VOICEOVER:
I don't know what happened to me
2
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,400
after Jochen died.
3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,000
I wasn't too good.
4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,320
I can't use the word ill
5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:14,960
'cause I don't know
what was wrong with me.
6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,600
I wasn't too active
for a little while.
7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,560
It wasn't just losing a friend,
we were like partners in everything.
8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,840
We had big ideas and plans
to go forward together
9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,640
into Formula One, have our own team.
10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,760
So, it wasn't such an easy thing
11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,800
to suddenly turn it off
and walk away,
12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,520
so, I thought we ought to carry on
13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,120
and see if we can't make it...
it happen,
14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,040
what Jochen and I wanted to do.

(THEME MUSIC)
16
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
I bought Brabham for 100,000 pounds
17
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,440
which today doesn't sound like it,
18
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,040
but those days
it was a lot of money.
19
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,280
It was a bit untidy.
20
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,000
Nobody quite knew
where everything was
21
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,960
and nobody was particularly doing
one job.
22
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,960
They were...It was all a bit
of a muddle generally.
23
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,960
The drawing office was a muddle,
everything was upside down.
24
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560
So, I thought the best thing
to do is,
25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,960
let's get things
that we don't need thrown out
26
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,240
and tidy up everything in general.
27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Each car had their own bay
28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600
with their own little workshop
beside it.
29
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,800
And stalls were organised properly
so people knew where everything was,
30
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,920
so, it saved a lot of time.
31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,480
And I wanted to get people
to be a little bit more tidy
32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,000
with the way they dressed,
33
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,440
so, things looked
a little bit more businesswise.
34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,720
It's what most of the teams
are doing today,
35
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,760
the way they sort out
their workshops.
36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,720
Awful lot difference in size
but the principle's the same.
37
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,400
I was lucky that I decided to keep
the right people.
38
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,120
Eddie Baker and Charlie Whiting
did a super job.
39
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,880
Gordon Murray was Gordon Murray.
40
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,920
At that time
he wasn't the designer of the car.
41
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,160
I'm Michael Blash,
my nickname is 'Herbie'.
42
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Herbie Blash was also close
to Jochen as it happened.
43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,720
So, all those people stayed.
44
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,640
In the early days
45
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
I didn't have any sponsorship
on that car
46
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,240
or any advertising at all.
47
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,600
It was a nice white car.
48
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,600
The F1CA, the Formula One
Constructors Association
49
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,080
wasn't a constructors'
association at all.
50
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,320
It was a group of guys
that ran Formula One teams
51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,080
that got together
to make some complaints
52
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,240

56
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,600

We used to call him 'Chopper',

Teddy was an American.
67

As a child he had polio,
68
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,240
didn't stop him
doing anything he wanted to do.
69
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,400
He's a brilliant skier as well.
70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,680
He ran McLaren.
71
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Although Frank had been
in Formula One for years,
72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200
he'd never really got himself
in the winning position.
73
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,280
He would always run out of money
74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,480
'cause he'd always spend
a little bit more than he had,
75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,080
and say, "Bernie could you possibly
lend me 5,000?"
76
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:23,600
He'd normally go to a place
in the King's Road in London
77
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,040
and buy some Cashmere sweaters
or something,
78
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,240
and that was Frank.

the other one out of business.

82
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,280
at the airport.
83
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,480
I don't think we could afford
84
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,400
to have a large meeting room,
85
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,520
so, we had a double bedroom.
86
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,680
And as a new kid on the block,
87
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,320

I better do something to help
88

'cause they're all very English.

So, I was the tea man.
90
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,640
I was lucky enough at that meeting
to come close to Max Mosley.
91
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,920
Max and I were so different
to each other.

00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Max could speak English properly.

I was a used car dealer,

108
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,680
The most important thing
for the promoter was that
109
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,000
they gave the least amount of money
to the teams.
110
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,320

"I'm getting this
what are you getting?"

It was always secret.

And everyone thought
that they were doing a good deal

the right amount of money.
117
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,000
And I said to the teams,
"Why don't we form a company
118
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,560
and we'll lay out
the terms and conditions

in fact automobile clubs

than they were being asked to pay.

And it was my intention
for making them pay more.
163
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,720

were basically the promoters

with the CSI
168
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,760
that there should only be 16 cars
running at the event.
169
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,400
We wasn't too happy with this idea.
I said, "This is completely crazy."

00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,600
I think that the 25 cars
on this circuit
171

is a perfectly safe operation.

why this one Grand Prix of the year,

we should have to run fewer cars
and...and not as normal.

However, Luca's the sort of guy,
350
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:59,840
if you asked him to go
and shoot somebody,
351
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,880
he probably wouldn't ask
the person's name.
352
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,480
In '74, someone
suddenly come on the scene
353
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,320
which nobody knew about,
really and truly, an Austrian guy.
354
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,160
And also quite a charming guy
355
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,120
'cause he'd managed to charm his dad
356
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,280
into giving him enough money
so he could deal with Max Mosley
357
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:26,960
who owned March at the time...
358
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,400
to buy a car and race.
359
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,600
So, that's how Niki
360
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:33,960
suddenly come
on the scene.
361
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:46,000
And I think Niki could sort of talk
his way through most problems.
362
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,960
And the ones he couldn't talk
his way through,
363
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,280
he drove his way through.

Philip Morris,
with the Marlboro brand,
365
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:58,000
paid Niki to go to Ferrari.

00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,160

and Niki were very intelligent.

Travelling from one country
to another is a drama.

You had to have documents
before you could move anything.
373
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,640
I made an arrangement
374
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,800
with a travel company
called Cazelli Mills.
375
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,640
I thought the only way to do it,
376
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,160
we move everything ourselves
all together.
377
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,320
Which would mean
the teams didn't have to worry,
378
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,280
so, they'd see the cars
leave their factory
379
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:45,560
and see them again
when they arrived at the circuit.
380
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,880
And I gave a personal guarantee
381
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,560
that everything that went in
382
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:51,840
would come out again.
383
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,440
I explained to the promoters
384
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,120
that they had to make a contribution
385
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,520
towards our costs
for appearing in races.
386
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,080
In fact,
it wasn't a contribution in the end
387
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,400
I think they paid all the costs.

He was one guy
that if he went over a curb
391
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,120
and damaged a wheel,
he'd be terribly upset

He'd be on the grid and look in

of in fourth place or fifth place,

that they were trying things on,

couldn't get the money together.
419
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,080
So, I said to the teams,
"We should run this race.
420
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,840
Why don't we run it?"
421
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,360
And the teams said,
"Oh, no, no, no, no.

that I was responsible
for paying the teams,

590
