- At the 1997 European Grand Prix, the top three drivers qualified with exactly the same laptime. Cameras in Murray's commentary box and in the production studio show how this unfolded behind the scenes!
Featuring a cameo of a very young Ted Kravitz. - Авто та транспорт
Love the hand on the shoulder when MB wants to say something
You took the words right out of my mouth... unless I'm very much mistaken.
Just a great partnership!!
Called respect
what i love about it is that he literally has to do it just to get a word in, in the early days atleast. this video shows just how amazing murray was at commentating this sport. he invented this shit!
now THAT is how you commentate!!
Ricky Williams - his epic commentaries were AB-SUR-LUTE-LY BRIIIIIIIIIILIANT!
Trek001 he could make an egg rolling down a hill exciting..
Ricky Williams - And here they are... Hakkinen with a battery egg and Schumacher was a farm fresh one...
SCHUMACHER!!!! ITS SCHUMACHER!!! SCHUMACHER is OUT of the BATTERY EGG grand prix...
OFF! OFF! OFF! OFF! OFF! OFF GOES HAKKINEN!
R.I.P. Murray Walker - the voice of our childhoods
Can we please scan in murray Walker's voice in a computer, and use some sort of AI to let it commentate on F1 broadcasts? That would be great!
Get rid of David croft
Hamilton's slowing down... slowing... and he's got the fastest lap!
He is still alive. He said that "never said never" regarding commenting again.
@@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977 He's 96. I wouldn't think he would want to do the full season again, even if he is able to.
@@keyboardwarrior327 maybe one race. Just one. Please.
The master at work. And a huge loss for us all. Rest well, Murray. You've earned it.
Most modern commentators would gloss over or make a passing mention of the timing screens blowing out. Murray Walker made it part of the excitement!
If you’re clicking on today, I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Murray Walker has passed away today, at 97 years of age. The voice of Formula One, the voice of my childhood for so many years. And now I’ve got to stop, because I’ve got a lump in my throat. Rest in peace Murray, we love you.
The odds of 3 drivers setting the exact same time is probably slimmer than winning the lottery. Insane qualifying session. Doubt it will happen again.
leadlefthand actually not really, usually about 4-8 Cars are inside 1 second, so the "chance" is about 1:200
correction: I didn't read your comment properly, the chance for 3 drivers is about 1:40000
Hmm... at 1:40000 ... Considering we had 954 grand prix so far since F1 began (as of Azerbaijan 2017), and considering we have 21-race schedules in the future, that means that this should happen again by the year 3808 :)
I remember watching it live.
But when i watch it again taday, i dont know ...
Maybe there was some failure of the Time-Messure-System ... i dont know ?
It looks nearly unbelivable.
It didn't. Fake commentating.
AL BUNDY - " I was Watching Live ! Too ;-) You don't know who I am or what form I was in that day in 1997 ;-) ;-)
Very subtle, but I finally see just how well Murray and Martin worked together! Knowing how much Murray gets excited, whenever Martin wanted to chime in, he would very calmly place his hand on his shoulder and wait for him to finish what he had to say, and add to it (and, another detail I notice, he never corrected Murray TOO often, only occasionally). It doesn't sound like an important detail, but Martin was the PERFECT co-commentator for Murray's style, and this video is a good example of it.
As for the correcting, I remember Derek Warwick subbed in for Martin while he was gone racing at LeMans for the Canadian Grand Prix one year, and it felt like he spent the whole hour and a half correcting Murray's mistakes and "Murrayisms". Very intelligent comments otherwise, but it made it clear that it was Murray/Martin that was the true combination!
MW: "It doesn't look to me like Ralf Schumacher's run of of fuel. What do you think?"
MB: "I think that's Michael, actually."
The hand on the shoulder is the best, they both know exactly what the other is about to do. Great to have video of these guys working together in their element, somehow I don't imagine the same sort of chemistry is displayed in the comm box today with Crofty.
Croft is awful in my opinion. I hate how he screams over the entire first lap and a half even if nothing exciting is happening. I prefer Leigh Diffey or Ben Edwards of the current lead announcers for F1 broadcasts. They don't overpower their co-commentators.
Rejean LeBlanc good catch, sir
Yeah the partnership of these two was superb and I think sometimes people focus too much on Murray’s mistakes and forget that is actually extremely knowledgable about the sport
Murray Walker = Legend
best commentator ive ever heard in motorsport...very intense and the choice of words for each moment is perfect...its like he puts you in the drivers seat....find another murray walker...ha ha ha yeah rite
amazing stuff.
God i miss Murray Walker commentating on f1.
pharohbender someone invent anti age potion
same, and motorsport in general
You can see it in Brundle's face when Frentzen posts the same exact time. "Something is wrong here!"
Well he is a cynical chap :)
I think he feels there was something dodgy going on with the times but obviously can't say it. From where they crossed the finish line as the time was going, looks like Frentzen, Villeneuve then Schumacher for the fastest lap. Too much of a gap between the clock and line from each driver to have identical times
I heard a max Mosley interview on this he thought Bernie had fixed it and turned and said that to him and max said when he saw the shock on Bernies face he knew he didn’t. John Williams had said the Williams time had worked out the correct order through a 4the digit. JV got pole by 2 - 10 thousandth of a second
Ted Kravitz on his works experience day there!!! He only looks about 15.
WHAT!? I didn't recognise him!
He was 23 back then
That was Ted Kravitz!? Blimey, totally missed that!
@@espenbaklid3178 That's coz he didn't carry a block of cheese around with him then
Thank You Murray Walker for making Formula One Racing compulsive viewing. R.I.P.
when I think of F1 commentary Murray pops in my mind, his passion is unbeatable
RIP. You can feel his love for the sport
Thanks for the memories Murray, rest in peace.
You just can't beat Murray Walker! What a legend! No one can match this guy!
I remember this, it was the first full race weekend I followed. Monaco 97 was the first GP I saw, this was the first qualifying I saw.
And this 1:21.072 will be a time I will remember for the rest of my life. Unbelieveable this is almost 20 years ago...
ferrari2k me too I’ll remember that time for all time, if anyone said give me a lap time that would be what I’d say! 1:21.072
RIP Murray Walker
Some of my best times in front of the television. Murray Walker is hands down the best commentator we've ever had, an absolute national treasure. I want the future to be a synthesized Murray voice that can 'watch' and report on all races. Actually make that all sports. My interest in F1 went at the same time Murray hung up his mic. I miss these times...
Lol Ted Kravitz
LewisHamilton1991 haha i didn't realise that, didn't know he has worked for bbc
This was ITV's first season
Yes, he looks like he's on school work experience, lol
The other funny thing besides a young Ted Kravits, Is how all the TV networks lost there timing screens, Our old mate Bernie had a trick in his pocket for the last race:)
Glad i'm not the only one to think this! :D
Bernie had nothing to do with it. Someone shut down the computer instead of just unplugging the controller.
Your voice was a influence to many for the name Formula One has today. And for that Murray Walker.... we say thank you. Rest In Peace.
Rest in peace Murray
Sad to see him gone. RIP
R.I.P. Murray Walker :(
RIP Murray Walker💔
Rest in Peace
The Master and the Apprentice (at the time anyway - now definitely the Master). Thanks for all the memories Murray and more power to you Martin, long may you continue. I'm a long-time Williams fan so I remember this qually session vividly. We thought this was amazing but then came the race...
I wish you Williams new success with Alex Albon. Haha.
The voice of F1
Murray Walker
rip murray, my favourite commentary of his
We miss you Murray...
The best of the best.
A fab team MW and MB were. Nice to see a young two seconds Ted producing!
Rest In Peace legend🙏🏻❤️
Is he a Sir ? He deserves the title 'Sir' .
"Oh shit, exactly the same time!"

Rip Murray
RIP Murray
rip legend!
Such passion. Such enthusiasm. Such energy. RIP Murray
R.I.P Murray
Oh my god I’d love to see the whole thing that this clip is from. It was The Murray Walker Story shown I believe in 1997 or very early 1998. The session being shown in the clip is the final Qualifying Session at Jerez 1997! Absolutely Magical!
I watched F1 for over a quarter of a century (before Hamilton came along). This qualifying session, is the most stunning qualifying session ever. I remember watching this live, totally mesmerising. And to hear the legend that is Murray Walker, is always so very special.
Now for footage of James Hunt and Murray Walker....those two kept me interested in F1 no matter how boring the racing got.
crusherbmx There's a small bit of footage out there of Murray and James commentating on Senna's opening lap at Donington. The difference is James insisted on sitting unlike Murray and the producers gave them a single mic to share. James would simply raise his hand if he had something to say and Murray would pass it over.
This makes you realise that it wasn't just the V8s that made F1 so much better to watch in the 80s / 90s. It was much more to do with Murray Walker.
Murray’s enthusiasm was just brilliant he made a f1 race.
Rip🥺
Rest in peace legend❤
The best thing ever happen in F1.
Rest in peace Murray ! You absolute legend !
You just cannot fault the camaraderie between Murray Walker and Martin Brundle. 🏎
'Reminds me of the old days' 🤣🤣
Rest Easy you legend
I miss Murray walker i love his commentary Rest in peace Murray rest in peace
Rip Murray you were a legend and you will always be the voice of f1
This was an unbelievable way to set up one of the most memorable moments in F1 history
The most exciting qualifying ever. The whole hour session is elsewhere on UA-cam.
Murray Walker almost spontaneously combusted at the end there! What a bloke. 👍
I’d love to see this again. It was The Murray Walker story. Shown on ITV. If anyone has it to post please do!!!
One of the epic moments of motorsports, amazing
That was a sensational qualifying session
This was from The Murray Walker Story! Oh god I’d love to see this whole thing again! It would be so nostalgic to see it again!
Watch for the light's red green go go go
PS 1 F1 1997 😍😍 favorite game ever
a real legend.... a REAL legend!!....thank you Mr. Walker!
absolutely fantastic
Murray really loves his job as a commentator. He is the voice of F1
I came after Canada 2024 Qualy
A master at work.
That's young Teddy K innit.
z00h ahh think you're right, didn't notice myself
One of my early F1 memories, is watching this.
poor Brundle, just standing there, hardly saying a word :D
Master at work
Murray had a descriptive style of commentating which made you feel you were riding with the drivers, and part of the action..
When F1 was mesmerising.
He will be missed ❤️🏎️
2:33 this was Murray Walker in full flow - Brundle knew not to interrupt on such occasions!
F1 was already only half as entertaining after Murray Walker retired.
He was the voice of F1. Some say he _was_ F1.
I seem to remember that this was from an ITV special called The Murray Walker Story or something like that.Wish I could find the whole thing somewhere - I remember watching it loads when I was 6.
Look at brundle's belly compared to now 😂😂😂
Martin Brundle still here today. Incredible
He held his own pretty well against new guard crews like Will and Natalie Pinkham. Hahahaha.
2:00 lol I love Murray’s hand gesture as he says ‘accelerate around the left handed’
Murray Walker is among the commentating greats like Vin Scully and Doc Emrick
R.I.P Murray Walker
Top 3 drivers with the same pole time and they were also Top 3 on points in the championship. And the video is 3:33 in length. Surely not a coincidence :)
The odds for my crush speaking to me must be higher than the odds for this to happen
Ors180717 but the odd of you having a partner is more lower than 3 people making a same qualifying time.
That’s why I do the lottery, it’s fixed
wow what a legend murray
People forget that Hill in the Arrows was just a teeny bit behind in 4th.
1:21.072 that is: THREE DRIVERS on 1 minute, 21 seconds, point zero, seven, two
Will Never Happen again.
I was watching Live ! when Live used to mean LIVE not 20 seconds behind real time.
Now imagine if James Allen were to commentate this. I would most likely still have ringing in my ears to this day
Love Murray Walker such a cutie
I was expecting him to go nuts when Frentzen tied too lol
Young ted kravitz
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE
Yet it happened
Lund Hedvig - not *impossible,* just highly *_improbable._*
Ted Kravitz has never really moved away from scanning lists and pointing at notebooks. From an entertainment POV, bloody tedious character.
Didnt know the commentators stand up while talking
Its really fun to see how animated Murray became during these broadcasts. The mom jeans, wow!
Of course, this is an incredible anomaly to have a triple dead heat to the 1/1000 of a sec. No clue how to calculate the odds.
I would have to check my library, but I dont think they ever had 3 cars set the same time for pole position even back in the 50's when timing was only done to the tenth of a second.
@@malcolmmcleod6020 don't think it's ever happened anywhere on the grid with 3 identical times... Was it a coincidence that the timing monitors all went down then miraculously get this unbelievable result for the title decider??
RIP
It's a bit suspicious isn't it that they had a complete blackout computer failure then suddenly that computer decides 3 drivers did the exact same time....hmmmmm
