Murray Walker:

"And we have had 5 races so far this year, Brazil, Argentina, Imola, Schumacher and Monaco!"
"And Damon Hill is coming into the pit lane, yes it's Damon Hill coming into the Williams pit, and Damon Hill in the pit, no it's Michael Schumacher!"
"...and now, just in case there is any CONFUSION (operative term here) this is the race order on lap 19: David Coulthard leads and has yet to stop; Hakkinen leads and has yet to stop..."
"The atmosphere is so tense you could cut it with a cricket stump"
"And Senna wins the 1999 Monaco Grand Prix" [from the 1990 Monaco GP]
"And that's Alboreto OFF!" [long pause - somber voice] "Now Michele Alboreto did not in fact qualify for the race, so how we managed to see him go off I don't know. We'll let you know."
"Rene Arnoux is coming into the pits ... lets stop the startwatch"
"And the first three cars are all Escorts, which isn't surprising as this is an all Escort race

"And here is Gabriele Tarquini in 3rd place who has already driven for 31 Formula One Grand Prix teams.... Ahum.... I don't know if we've have that many but i'm sure that if we did so Gabriele didn't drive for all of them!!!"
"The thought of, um... er Nigel, twinkle twinkle little star, makes the mind boggle."
"David Coulthard in his nun's outfit"
"The two McLaren drivers are so hot they look like 2 fried lobsters in silver suits"
