"I had a wheel hit me in Spain and I knew all about it!" says Murray.

Gawd I miss him not commentating so much he was the king.

I dont see the entertainment in watching cars go round in circles all the time.

F1 is far more interesting the tracks very every track has its own personality..oval racing just sucks. my opinion though

''Jacques, you rear wheel is faster than you, Can you confirm you understand this message''

Since I was 4 I've been wondering about what that wheel hit. Anyone know if it hit a person or not?

only villeneuve can do so stupid

@DarudeF1 For me, oval racing is okay. Street racing is my dislike.

Always scares me seeing tyres bouncing around the place, there's been many unfortunate and tragic accidents caused by stray debris, tyres especially.

@quasiphatpaul Not really. Ralf did have a team order not to pass his teammate, but Damon has stated that he had to ignore it anyway because of Jean Alesi
