"Unless I'm very much mistaken....I AM very much mistaken!"
Murray: "There's a car coming into the pits now, they're so
unreliable with all those electronics on board. "
James Hunt: "Actually, Murray, one of his wheels has just
fallen off! "
"We now have exactly the same situation as we had at the
start of the race, only exactly the opposite."
"The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind
it which is identical."
"He's obviously gone in for a wheel change. I say obviously
because I can't see it."
"With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go."
"Anything happens in Grand Prix racing and it usually does."
Describing how the leader can see the driver following him:
"... Mansell can see him in his earphone... "
Murrary: "What's that? There's a BODY on the track!!!"
James Hunt: "Um, I think that that is a piece of bodywork,
from someone's car. "
As an introductory piece for a rallysprint race, Murray
was put in the navigator's seat in a Chevette HSR: "And
there's a 600 foot drop on my left. AND we're doing 120
mph... AND we're approaching a hairpin...OH MY GOD we're
going to die..."
Murray: "And look at the flames coming from the back of
Berger's McLaren."
James Hunt: "Actually, Murray, they're not flames, it's the
safety light. "
"...and there's no damage to the car.....except to the car
itself. "
"The beak of Ayrton Senna's chicken is pulling ahead."
"...and I interrupt myself to bring you this.... "
"This is an interesting circuit because it has inclines, and
not just up, but down as well. "
"Only a few more laps to go and then the action will begin,
unless this is the action, which it is. "
"This has been a great season for Nelson Piquet, as he is now
known, and always has been."
"And the first five places are filled by five different cars.
"
"Tambay's hopes, which were nil before, are absolutely zero
now. "
"Martin Brundle's got a bald spot - he won't be pleased about
that..."
"...and Andretti is going very slowly - he must have an
electrical problem of some sort..." (Andretti was driving on
three wheels, having hit something on the track.) "As you can see, visually, with your eyes... "
"Andrea de Cesaris...the man who has won more Grands Prix
than anyone else without actually winning one of them. "
"...and now, just in case there is any confusion this is the
race order on lap 19: David Coulthard leads and has yet to
stop; Hakkinen leads and has yet to stop... "
"Nigel Mansell - the man of the race - the man of the day -
the man from the Isle of Man."
"An Achilles heel for the McLaren team this year, and it's
literally the heel because it's the gearbox..."
"And now the boot is on the other Schumacher."
"The atmosphere is so tense you could cut it with a cricket
stump."
"Alain Prost is in a commanding second place."
"Mansell is slowing it down, taking it easy. Oh no he isn't!
It's a lap record!!"
"It's not quite a curve, it's a straight actually."
"...and Damon Hill is following Damon Hill."
"Jean Alesi is 4th and 5th."
"Schumacher has made his final stop three times! "
"Nigel Mansell had a problem with the wheel-nut on his
Williams, then he went on to win brilliantly for Ferrari!"
"And Damon Hill is going under the drier part of the Monaco
circuit, that's of course because it's got a roof."
"Into lap 53, the penultimate last lap but one."
"Nigel Mansell is the last person in the race apart from the
five in front of him. "
"And I usually say that if anything is going to go wrong with
the car, it has done by now, but I'm not going to say that
about Jacques Villeneuve.... Oh, I already have. "
"Rally points scoring is 20 for the fastest, 18 for the
second fastest, right down to 6 points for the slowest
fastest."
"Heinz-Harald Frentzen. The man with all the luck, and it's
all bad. "
Murray : "And Coulthard is now on the inside, AND HE'S GOING
THROUGH!!! "
Martin : "That's a replay, Murray. "
"And the first three cars are all Escorts, which isn't
surprising as this is an all Escort race."
Murray: "And there are flames coming from the back of Prost's
car as he enters the swimming pool. "
James Hunt: "Well, that should put them out then. "
