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.

You might not think that's cricket, and it's not, it's motor racing.

And now, excuse me while I interrupt myself.

I'm in my usual state up here in the commentary box: high tension, heart beating like a trip hammer, whatever that is.

There's nothing wrong with the car except that it's on fire.

I wish we had a system where you are given a bill including service and that people were paid properly so they didn't have to rely on tips. In different restaurants there are different policies and it's all very confusing.

You can cut the tension with a cricket stump.

I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.

Now he must not go the wrong way round the circuit, and unless he can spin himself stationary through 360 degrees I fail to see how he can avoid doing so.

That's history. I say history because it happened in the past.

I've no idea what Eddie Irvine's orders are, but he's following them superlatively well.

This circuit is interesting because it has inclines and declines. Not just up, but down as well.

Either the car is stationary, or it's on the move.

IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.

And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing.

I should imagine that the conditions in the cockpit are totally unimaginable.

Well, now we have exactly the same situation as at the beginning of the race, only exactly opposite.

He can't decide whether to leave his visor half open or half closed.

A battle is developing between them' I say developing, because it's not yet on.

Motor racing can never be totally safe and it never should be in my opinion.

Even in five years time, he will still be four years younger than Damon Hill.

I can't believe what's happening visually, in front of my eyes.

Eight minutes past the hour here in Belgium - and presumably eight minutes past the hour everywhere in the world.

You can cut the tension with a cricket stump.

The lead car is unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does.

Theres nothing wrong with the car except that its on fire.

The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go.

Schumacher wouldn't have let him past voluntarily. Of course he did it voluntarily, but he had to do it.
