MURRAY WALKER BLUNDERS.....NOT BLUNDELL 1. WITH HALF THE RACE GONE, THERE IS HALF THE RACE STILL TO GO. 2. IT'S RAINING AND THE TRACK IS WET. 3. THE JORDAN FACTORY IS AT THE JORDAN GATES. 4. AND THE FIRST FIVE PLACES ARE FILLED BY FIVE DIFFERENT CARS. 5. ALBERETO HAS DROPPED BACK UP TO FIFTH PLACE. 6. THIS IS AN INTERESTING CIRCUIT BECAUSE IT HAS INCLINES, AND NOT JUST UP, BUT DOWN AS WELL. 7. CRUEL LUCK FOR ALESI, SECOND ON THE GRID. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME HE HAD STARTED FROM THE FRONT ROW IN A GRAND PRIX, HAVING DONE SO IN CANADA EARLIER THIS YEAR. 8. AND THERE'S THE MAN IN THE GREEN FLAG. 9. ONLY A FEW MORE LAPS TO GO AND THEN THE ACTION WILL BEGIN, UNLESS THIS IS THE ACTION, WHICH IT IS. 10. MANSELL IS SLOWING IT DOWN, TAKING IT EASY, OH NO HE ISN'T! IT'S A LAP RECORD. 11. ALESI IS IN SECOND PLACE AND HILL IS IN SECOND PLACE. 12. SCHUMACHER HAS MADE HIS FINAL STOP THREE TIMES. 13. HEINZ HARALD FRENTZEN IN THE SAUBER MERCEDES BEHIND JOHNNY HERBERT, BEHIND JOHNNY HERBERT IN HIS FIRST RACE IN THE LIGIER RENAULT. 14. AS YOU CAN SEE, VISUALLY, WITH YUR EYES. 15. THEY'RE NOW ON LAP 68, WHICH MEANS THERE'S ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, LAPS TO GO BEFORE THE END OF THE HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX. 16. AND THERE'S A DRY LINE APPEARING IN THE TUNNEL. 17. JEAN ALESI IS FOURTH AND FIFTH. 18. AND DAMON HILL IS GOING UNDER THE DRIER PART OF THE MONACO CIRCUIT, THAT'S OF COURSE BECAUSE IT'S GOT A ROOF. 19. HE'S OBVIOUSLY GONE IN FOR A WHEEL CHANGE. I SAY OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE IT. 20. WE'RE NOW ON THE 73RD LAP AND THE NEXT ONE WILL BE THE 74TH. 21. AND THE WILLIAMS PIT ARE GETTING READY FOR HILL, THE TYRE COOLERS ARE COMING OFF. 22. AND SENNA WINS THE 1999 MONACO GRAND PRIX (FROM THE 1990 RACE) 23. AND DAMON HILL IS FOLLOWING DAMON HILL. 24. THE BENETTON HANDLING SUPERBLY AS EVER. WILLIAMS HAVE WORKED VERY VERY HARD ON THIS CAR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON. 25. .....AND HE'S LOST BOTH RIGHT FRONT TYRES. 26. AND DAMON HILL IS SIX.....1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! SECONDS AHEAD. 27. I'LL STOP MY START WATCH. (OUR PERSONAL FAVOURITE) 28. MANSELL CAN SEE HIM IN HIS EARPHONE. 29. .....AND THAT'S DAMON HILL, THE 1994 WORLD CHAMPION. (DAMON WON IN 1996) 30. DO MY EYE'S DECEIVE ME, OR IS SENNA'S LOTUS SOUNDING ROUGH? 31. .....AND THERE'S NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR, EXCEPT TO THE CAR ITSELF. 32. THE BEAK OF AYRTON SENNA'S CHICKEN IS PULLING AHEAD. 33. .....AND I INTERRRUPT MYSELF TO BRING YOU THIS. 34. THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT SEASON FOR NELSON PIQUET, AS HE IS NOW KNOWN, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. 35. .....THE LEAD IS NOW 6.9 SECONDS. IN FACT IT'S JUST UNDER 7 SECONDS. 36. THE ITALIAN GRAND PRIX AT MONACO. 37. SCHUMACHER'S APPEAL FOR IGNORING THE CHEQUERED FLAG IS NEXT TUESDAY. 38. .....THE ENTHUSIASTIC ENTHUSIASTS..... (COMMENTED IN ITALY 1994 RACE) 39. BUT HERE IS NOW AND THERE IS DAMON HILL. 40. UKYO KATAYAMA IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST FORMULA 1 DRIVER THAT GRAND PRIX RACING HAS EVER PRODUCED (NO OFFENSE TO UKYO HIMSELF INTENDED). 41. .....AND THE PEUGEOT CUP OF MISERY IS FILLED PAST OVERFLOWING. 42. YES, THE BEAUTY OF THIS RACE IS THAT IT IS TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE. 43. AND THERE ARE FLAMES COMING FROM THE BACK OF PROST'S CAR AS HE ENTERS THE SWIMMING POOL. 44. .....AND EDDIE JORDAN IS IN FIFTH PLACE (IT WAS EDDIE IRVINE IN EDDIE JORDAN'S CAR IN SPAIN IN 1995). 45. ALESI IS IN SECOND PLACE AND HILL IS IN SECOND PLACE. 46. WE HAVE HAD 5 RACES SO FAR THIS YEAR, BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, IMOLA, SCHUMACHER AND MONACO. 47. .....AND NOW, JUST IN CASE THERE IS ANY CONFUSION THIS IS THE RACE ORDER ON LAP 19: DAVID COULTHARD LEADS AND HAS YET TO STOP; HAKKINEN LEADS AND HAS YET TO STOP...... 48. AND NOW THE BOOT IS ON THE OTHER SCHUMACHER. 49. NOW THE FRENCHMAN JACQUES LAFITTE IS AS CLOSE TO SURER AS SURER IS TO LAFITTE. 50. WE'RE NOW ON THE 73RD LAP AND THE NEXT ONE WILL BE THE 74TH (MONACO 92') 51. THIS RACE WILL ACTUALLY DEVELOP INTO A GRAND PRIX. 52. SCHUMACHER HAS MADE HIS FINAL STOP THREE TIMES. 53. IT HAS ALL COME ALIVE IN HUNGARY. THERE IS THE PROOF! WILLIAMS! BENETTON! FERRARI! THE BENETTON IS BERGER AND THE FERRARI IS DAMON HILL. 54. I KNOW IT'S AN OLD CLICHE, BUT YOU CAN CUT THE ATMOSPHERE WITH A CRICKET STUMP. 55. AND HE'S DONE THAT IN A WHISKER UNDER 10 SECONDS, CALL IT 9.7 IN ROUND FIGURES. 56. AND THE BRILLIANT WILLIAMS DUO OF GRAHAM HILL AND GILLES VILLENEUVE ARE TURNING THIS INTO A MAGNIFICENT RACE. 57. INTO LAP 53, THE PENULTIMATE LAST LAP BUT ONE. 58. NIGEL MANSELL IS THE LAST PERSON IN THE RACE APART FROM THE FIVE IN FRONT OF HIM. 59. THERE GOES PANIS IN THE PROST. FOR YEARS WE KNEW THEM AS LIGIERS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE CALLED. 60. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MECHANICS USING A FEELER GUAGE TO MEASURE THE DEPTH OF TREAD IN THE SLICK (THIS WAS WHEN SLICKS WERE ACTUALLY TREADLESS). 61. .....AND THIS IS RALF SCHUMACHER THE YOUNGEST DRIVER IN F1 AT ONLY 21 YEARS OLD, AND OF COURSE HE IS THE SON OF TWICE WORLD CHAMPION MICHAEL.
