I don't know how familiar you are with Murray Walker but he is a legend in british F1 broadcasting.
If you are british then just press play and watch this for the first time or again.
For you who don't know anything about him - he's been a commentator since 1948 which means that his career is older than Formula One itself!
If this man says something about F1 then you better believe it's true! ..well actually not always because he is also famous for saying weird and funny stuff like this:
"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"
"Do my eyes deceive me, or is Senna's Lotus sounding rough?"
"Anything happens in Grand Prix racing and it usually does"
"Alboreto has dropped back up to fifth place"
"As you look at the first four, the significant thing is that Alboreto is 5th"
"I can't imagine what kind of problem Senna has. I imagine it must be some sort of grip problem"
"He is shedding buckets of adrenalin in that car"
"It's raining and the track is wet"
"And there's just a few more corners for Nigel Mansell to go to win the Canadian Grand Prix...and...he's going rather slow....HE'S STOPPING HE'S STOPPING!"
"and this is the third placed car about to lap the second placed car"
[During a F1 race, 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 BODY-WORK, from someone's car."
"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 he's lost both right front tyres" (which may have been accurate back in the days of the Tyrrell P34, but it was from 1995!)
