Getting excited about the race this Sunday...

"Eight minutes past the hour here in Belgium - and presumably eight minutes past the hour everywhere in the world."
Murray Walker

"Either the car is stationary, or it's on the move."
Murray Walker

"Even in five years time, he will still be four years younger than Damon Hill."
Murray Walker

"He can't decide whether to leave his visor half open or half closed."
Murray Walker

"I can't believe what's happening visually, in front of my eyes."
Murray Walker

"I don't know what happened, but there was a major malmisorganization problem there."
Murray Walker

"I don't make mistakes. I make prophecies which immediately turn out to be wrong."
Murray Walker

Classic lines all of them, Murray walker was a legend. On a more sentimental note always remember him speaking nearly in tears after Senna was killed.

Cant wait until Sunday either lets hope hamilton doesnt try and fcuk it up again like last year or like last weekend. Going out to a supplier in Jiading on Friday, might skive off to F1 circuit to check out the touts outside and see what the prices are like, might get my ticket in adavnce then.

Murray was great. Rumours are that he might be back, as the coverage moves from ITV back to BBC next year.

Thazt would be great the if he came back his voice used to get as high as the engines on full throttle when excited. Commentators now dont have the same charisma and ability to make a fcuk up like Murray
