Default guess which automotive personality said these

  • "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."
  • "I can't imagine what kind of problem Senna has. I imagine it must be some sort of grip problem."
  • "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 fifth."
  • "He is shedding buckets of adrenaline in that car."
  • "It's raining and the track is wet."
  • "Only a few more laps to go and then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is."
  • "So, Bernie (Ecclestone), in the 17 years since you bought McLaren, which of your many achievements do you think was the most memorable?" Ecclestone: "Well, I don't remember buying McLaren." (He once owned Brabham).
the answer should be pretty easy for JW members, but it's a entertaining read.

dont' have a clue who said any of those things, but he sounds about as stupid as John Madden. He's a former football coach who does announing for FOX i think during NFL coverage, and some of the stuff he says is even dumber than those quotes above.

/\/\ He'd have to suddenly grow a brain after all those years in order to accomplish that feat.

Murray Walkers definately a legend, his mistakes were part of his commentary and his personality: part of what made him probably the greatest F1 commentator
