"Unless I'm very much mistaken ... yes, I AM very much mistaken."

"The lead car is absolutely unique - except for the car behind which is identical."

"There's nothing wrong with the car except that it's on fire."

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

"I imagine the conditions in those cars are totally unimaginable."

"The atmosphere is so tense you could cut it with a cricket stump."

"Prost can see Mansell in his earphones."

"Either that car is stationary or it is on the move."

"And now excuse me while I interrupt myself."

"And now the boot is on the other Schumacher."

"Do my eyes deceive me or is Senna's car sounding a bit rough?"

"Damon Hill is leading ... behind him are the second and third men."

"Tambay's hopes, which were previously nil, are now absolutely zero."

"I've just stopped my startwatch."

"That was exactly the same place where Senna overtook Nannini that he didn't overtake Alain Prost."

"A mediocre season for Nelson Piquet, as he is now known, and always has been."

"There's only a second between them. One. That's how long a second is."

"The young Ralf Schumacher has been upstaged by the teenager, Jenson Button, who is 20."

"There's no doubt in my mind that if the race had been 46 laps instead of 45 it would have been a McLaren first and second. But it didn't, so it wasn't."

"And it's Mansell ... Mansell ... Nigel Mansell," screamed Murray in top gear while describing the 1990 Monaco Grand Prix - only to realise in a fit of apologies that viewers were actually watching Alain Prost.

The above quotes appeared in The Sun newspaper  on Tuesday 12 December 2000

"A sad ending, albeit a happy one"
