With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go.

Unless I am very much mistaken…I AM very much mistaken…!

Schumacher wouldn’t have let him past voluntarily. Of course he did it voluntarily, but he had to do it.

[Andrea De Cesaris is] the man who has won more Grands Prix than anybody else in the history of Grand Prix racing without actually winning one of them.

That’s history. I say history because it happened in the past.

Nigel Mansell is the last person in the race apart from the five in front of him

I’m in my usual state up here in the commentary box: high tension, heart beating like a trip hammer, whatever that is.

I’m a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I’m commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.

Somebody said once ‘Follow the money‘ and that is what it is all about.

I should imagine that the conditions in the cockpit are totally unimaginable.

IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.

I’ve no idea what Eddie Irvine’s orders are, but he’s following them superlatively well.

There are seven winners of the Monaco Grand Prix on the starting line today, and four of them are Michael Schumacher.

Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does.

And now, excuse me while I interrupt myself.

You have to say what comes into your head, and sometimes the wrong words come, in the wrong order or I’d make prophecies which immediately turned out to be wrong.

And there’s no damage to the car. Except to the car itself.

I wish we had a system where you are given a bill including service and that people were paid properly so they didn’t have to rely on tips. In different restaurants there are different policies and it’s all very confusing.

This would have been Senna’s third win a row if he’d won the two before

This circuit is interesting because it has inclines and declines. Not just up, but down as well.

Do my eyes deceive me, or is Senna’s Lotus sounding rough?

I want to say so much more than I have time for.

I can’t believe what’s happening visually, in front of my eyes.

Well, now we have exactly the same situation as at the beginning of the race, only exactly opposite.

The lead car is unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

Like everybody, I have invested in things that have gone bad, because there’s never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.

Mansell is slowing it down, taking it easy. Oh, no he isn’t! It’s a lap record.

Eight minutes past the hour here in Belgium – and presumably eight minutes past the hour everywhere in the world.

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.

The European drivers have adapted to this circuit extremely quickly, especially Paul Radisich who’s a New Zealander.

A battle is developing between them’ I say developing, because it’s not yet on.

You might not think that’s cricket, and it’s not, it’s motor racing.

Either the car is stationary, or it’s on the move.
