More gems from Murray (these quotes and the ones in the previous post are all taken from the wikipedia pages):
* "Jos Verstappen is a fighter in the each of the way!"
* "And just to clarify, Häkkinen leads and has yet to stop, Coulthard leads and has yet to stop"
* "Now we go into lap 53, the penultimate last lap but one."
* "Excuse me while I interrupt myself..."
* "With half the race gone, there's half the race still to go."
* "If the gloves weren't off before—and they were—they sure are now!"
* "That's a good stop. Just under 10 seconds. Call it 9.7 in round figures."
* "Now he must not go the wrong way round the circuit and unless he can spin himself stationary through 360 degrees I fail to see how he can avoid doing so."
* "Now Laffite is as close to Surer as Surer is to Laffite."
* "There's a difference of only one second between these two cars ...one... that's how long a second is"
* " 'If' is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, 'if' is F1 spelled backwards."
* " Watch the lights appear to countdown the start! —One light! —Two lights! —Three lights! —Four lights! —Five laps!"
* "The interesting thing about this circuit is that it has inclines; not just up, but down as well."
* "This has been a mediocre season for Nelson Piquet, as he is now known, and always has been."
* "And the track temperature has in fact risen in degrees!"
* "And here comes Damon Hill in the Williams. This car is absolutely unique—except for the one following it, which is identical."
* "Do my eyes deceive me or is Senna's Lotus sounding a bit rough?"
* "Tambay's hopes, which were nil before, are now absolutely zero."
* "Alboreto into the pits and I'm going to stop the startwatch!"
* "And it's a sad ending, albeit a happy one, at Montreal for today's Grand Prix"
* "It's the first time Schumacher's won here since 1959" (Michael Schumacher was born in 1969)
* "Schumacher in the McLaren, Häkkinen in the Ferrari." (At the time, Schumacher was a Ferrari driver and Häkkinen was a McLaren driver)
* (Approaching Bernie Ecclestone) "Bernie, it's some 17 years since you bought McLaren, you've had some good times, you've had some bad times, what do you remember best?" Bernie replies: "I don't remember buying McLaren..." Murray: "I've done it again, haven't I?"[5]
* On Gerhard Berger's Ferrari failing at Suzuka 93 "That's Ayrton Berger!"
* "Mansell knows exactly where Senna is because he can see him in his earphone."
* "Seven of the previous champions are on the starting line, and four of them are Michael Schumacher"
* "And we have had 5 races so far this year, Brazil, Argentina, Imola, Schumacher and Monaco!"
* "Anything can happen in Formula 1, and it usually does!"
