"...which is testimony to current Grand Prix engineering" "...and it is winning" "...except for the one behind, which is identical" "...and is incredibly fast" "There is nothing wrong with the car..."

"...four of them are Michael Schumacher" "...we are in for a great race" "...it's anyone's guess who will win this one" "...what a collection of talent that is" “Andrea De Cesaris, the man who has won more Grand Prix than anybody else in the history of Grand Prix racing..."

I remember each of these! Wasn’t there a summary of examples in a Car and Driver article by John Phillips III? Murray was great except when he wasn’t! I have to admit though I miss him doing commentary - the current opening lap shout-fest really grates on me.
