Murray Walker's inaccuracies and mangling of the language were a constant source of amusement to me, especially when his co-commentator was the 1976 F1 world champion, James Hunt.
Walker, excitedly: And that, that is Patrick Tambay! You can visibly see Tambay closing the gap to Nigel Mansell at this moment of the present time! At this rate he will gain a place ahead of him before the end of the race, if things don't go wrong for him, but anything can happen in Formula One racing, and it usually does!
Hunt, calmly: That is René Arnoux lapping Elio de Angelis.
