Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Complete this Murray quote from yesteryear: "As you look at the first four places, the significant thing is that..."

Answer: Alboreto is fifth

Typical of the man - always getting his numbers, positions and lap numbers wrong!
2. I don't know what he was thinking when Murray Walker once said: "...and the beak of Ayrton Senna's _______ is pulling ahead."

Answer: chicken

The man certainly could come up with an interesting metaphor from time to time.
3. One of my personal favourite Murray quotes: "This is an interesting circuit because it has _______, and not just up but down as well."

Answer: inclines

He always would turn a simple statement into a point of amusement.
4. On the prospects of Patrick Tambay, Murray once said: "Tambay's hopes, which were nil before, are ______ now."

Answer: absolutely zero

...In case it wasn't clear to the viewers at first.
5. Who was Murray referring to here: "[He] is undoubtedly the best driver that Grand Prix racing has ever produced."

Answer: Ukyo Katayama

Perhaps he meant, best Japanese driver? But even then... The mind boggles.
6. Again, a similarly mystifying statement from Mr. Walker: "Andrea de Cesaris, the man who has ______ more Grands Prix than anyone else without actually winning one of them."

Answer: won

We know what you meant here, Muzza... Or do we! Presumably he meent to say 'started'.
7. Murray Walker explaining the points system for a rally event: "Rally points scoring is 20 for the fastest, 18 for the second fastest, right down to 6 points for the ________."

Answer: slowest fastest

Need I comment on this?!? Truly a classic "Murrayism", and one that still makes me laugh.
8. This was a truly hilarious moment when Murray was commentating on a Monaco GP one year: "And there's a _______ appearing in the tunnel" (pause while he realises what he's just said) "Obvious, really as it has a roof".

Answer: dry line

It was raining at the track, and obviously the track was wet everywhere except under the tunnel.
9. This is another of my favourites from Monaco in 1981. Murray, describing the situation as water pours through a leak onto the track in the tunnel: "...and that could be, to put it very mildly indeed, __________"

Answer: suicidally dangerous!

...to put it very mildly indeed!
10. A fantastic description of Hakkinen and Coulthard in the late 90's: "The two McLaren drivers are so hot they look like _________"

Answer: two fried lobsters in silver suits.

A great line; of course this was from the days when McLaren were sponsored by West, and the team livery was almost all silver.
