Answer 1

"And Mansell is slowing down, taking it east.  OH NO HE'S NOT!  IT'S A NEW LAP RECORD!"

"Unless I'm very much mistaken....I AM very much mistaken!"

"It's raining and the track is wet"

"Only a few more laps to go and then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is."

"Michael Schumacher leading Damon Hill by four tenths of a second or so, because it's moving...[cut to Hill under Schu's rear wing] AND THAT'S NOT FOUR TENTHS OF A SECOND! That's Michael Schumacher!"

"As you can see, visually, with your eyes..."

"The atmosphere is so tense you could cut it with a cricket stump"

"There goes Panis in the Prost. For years we knew them as Ligiers, because that is what they were called."

"I should imagine that the conditions in the cockpit are unimaginable!"

"...and HERE COMES DAMON HILL IN THE WILLIAMS!!!!.....this car is absolutely unique!....except for the one behind it....which is exactly the same..."

Answer 2

My favourite quote is "that car is absolutely unique, apart from the car following it which is identical".

"There's nothing wrong with the car except that it's on fire" is also a classic.

Answer 5

Answer 6

The classic Murray Walker commentary moment to me was when covering an Autocross/MotoCross event. It was a wet muddy stretch off road, Murray makes the cment and so and so is in the lead, so important as they can see where he is going.. and right on cue the driver steers striaght into a hay bale wall and is out of the race.

Answer 7

.

I can't find the "beak of Ayrton Senna's chicken" referring to the raised nose that reminded him of a chicken for some reason....too many years in the city probably...

"I'll stop the start watch......, now!"

"A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play" from his advertising days.

Absolute genius that drew so many fans to the sport with his infectious energy!!

Answer 8

Murray Walker is one of the best unknown comedians!

" We are on the 73rd lap, and the next one will be the 74th..."

" Either the car is stationary, or its on the move..."

" And now the boot is on the other Schumacer..."

" You can't see a digital clock because there isn't one..."
