⚰ Death

“There’s nothing wrong with the car except it’s on fire”

“With half the race gone there is half the race to go”

“I imagine the conditions in those cars are totally unimaginable”

“Either that car is stationary or it’s on the move”

“Do my eyes deceive me or is Senna’s car sounding a bit rough?”

“And the first five places are filled with five different cars”

“And this is the third-placed car about to lap the second-placed car”

“The battle is well and truly on if it wasn’t on before, and it certainly was”

“Two laps to go, then the action will begin. Unless this is the action, which it is”

“I’m going for first” (Explaining away a British Touring car driver putting up his middle finger)

Murray: “There’s a firey glow coming from the back of the Ferrari!” - James Hunt: “No Murray, that’s his rear safety light”

“Let’s watch this typical Formula Ford start!” (instead they promptly all ran into each other)

“It’s a sad ending, albeit a happy one, here at Montreal for today’s Grand Prix”

“Andrea de Cesaris, the man who has won more grand prix than anyone else without actually winning one”

“Unless I’m very much mistaken… I am very much mistaken!”

“And now excuse me while I interrupt myself!”

“The young Ralf Schumacher has been upstaged by teenager Jenson Button, who is 20”
“It would have been Senna’s third win in a row if he’d won the two before”

“I’m ready to stop my start watch”

I don’t make mistakes. I make prophecies which immediately turn out to be wrong.

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

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

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

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.

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

And more

He was what made F1 tolerable back in the day.

Yaphet Kotto has died at the age of 81. Personally I remember him best from Homicide: Life on the Street, an excellent series as I recall.

I don’t recall seeing him in anything except Live and Let Die.

Which is ironic.

Yes, I gather he was in that, but I’ve never seen it.

He played two characters. It’s worth seeing, if only to remind yourself that Moore’s Bond wasn’t always the comic parody of his later efforts.

Not a fan of Bond films (or indeed of Roger Moore) generally, so I doubt I’d notice the difference.
