Murray Walker

[Markopolo]

Murray?s legendarische fouten of opmerkingen:

?With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go.?
?Do my eyes deceive me, or is Senna's Lotus sounding rough??
?Anything happens in Grand Prix racing and it usually does.?
?And this is the third placed car about to lap the second placed car.?
?I can't imagine what kind of problem Senna has. I imagine it must be some sort of grip problem.?
?The car in front is absolutely unique, except for the car behind, which is exactly the same.?
"And we have had 5 races so far this year, Brazil, Argentina, Imola, Schumacher and Monaco! "
"Rally points scoring is 20 for the fastest, 18 for the second fastest, right down to 6 points for the slowest fastest."
"It's not quite a curve, it's a straight actually."
?And Damon Hill is following Damon Hill.?
?Jean Alesi is 4th and 5th.?
"And he's done that in a whisker under 10 seconds, call it 9.7 in round figures".
"And the rain came down and washed the circuit dry."
"Rene Arnoux is coming into the pits ... lets stop the startwatch."
?........and Schumacher has just completed lap 77 out of 73.?
"McLaren and Ferrari have won six races each this year. Mika Hakkinen has won three, David Coulthard has won three, Michael Schumacher has won five and Rubens Barrichello has won five."
"If you look closely at Ralf Schumacher you can make out parts of his cooling device peeping out of the edge of his balaclava... Oh no, actually, that's his hair."
"Schumacher's appeal for ignoring the chequered flag is next Tuesday."
"Andrea de Cesaris...the man who has won more Grands Prix than anyone else without actually winning one of them."
"Two lights on, three lights on, four lights on, five laps on..."
"This will be Williams' first win since the last time a Williams won."
?When it rains in Malaysia, it doesn't come down by the bucketful, but by the OCEANful.?
?He can't decide whether to have his visor half open or half closed.?
?Either the car is stationary or it's on the move.?
"The two McLaren drivers are so hot they look like 2 fried lobsters in silver suits."
"I've no idea what Eddie Irvine's orders are, but he's following them superlatively well."
"Mansell is slowing it down, taking it easy. Oh no, he isn't! It's a lap record."
"...and the gap is 4 seconds...no, 31 seconds...!"
?And Michael Schumacher is 37 seconds ahead, so he can refuel the car, change all four wheels, take off his helmet, have a smoke and a cup of tea, and rejoin in first.?
Toen de Sauber van Pedro Diniz vuur vatte, zei hij: "Fire! Fire!, Diniz in the oven!"

Ik mis zijn commentaar met gebroken stem toen zijn goede vriend Damon Hill als Kampioen over de finish reed in Japan 1996:

"I have to stop now, as I have a lump in my throat..."

Those were the days, Murray Walker op BBC op zondagmiddag, géén reclame en géén Olav Mol

of deze over Monaco:

"There appears a dry line in the tunnel. Obviously, 'cause it has a roof..."
