@Gregz0r1 Thanks for the confirmation. We didn't have Eurosport in my house when I was a kid and Marriott's voice has aged somewhat since this clip so I wasn't absolutely sure. I knew Nichols from videos my parents bought me and I think I've seen video of Phoenix '91 with his commentary for Eurosport on here somewhere too, though I didn't know about that gap in their coverage from Imola onwards. Thanks again.
@theycallhimsim It's Andrew Marriott. Richard Nichols came on the scene for 1991, but the then Sky TV-backed Eurosport, turned into Sky Sports after Imola and that was that for F1 on Eurosport.
F1 didnt return to the new Eurosport until the start of 1992.
My apologies 'thecallhimsim'. I think you may be right.
If I remember correctly, John Watson wasn't commentating on EuroSport when they covered F1 in 1989 - it may have been Andrew Marriott and Richard Nichols that year?
@BioBiro The one thing I know with certainty is that the man with Wattie isn't Richard Nichols. What I don't know is who it actually is...maybe Andrew Marriott, perhaps, possibly, but probably not.
