Murray on Montoya´s Move?

Sonatrap · 30 Sep 2001, 23:32 (Ref:154024)

I watch the action on P.S.N. and I miss M´s infectious enthusiasm .
I would love to know how Murray reacted to the moment when Montoya shot past Shumacher senior this afternoon.

Not sure, I didn't think it was that special of move myself... They really didn't have much of a battle. Juan had a faster car and moved passed Michael almost like a faster care lapping a slower car. Then the Williams gearbox gaveout...

Somebody else posted here somewhere that Murray said :"Hot Dog!". It was a fantastic move, and MSch said he didn't even see it coming because one moment JPM was way back, and the next second he was past. This was in the post race interview. I think that with the new regs on front wing height, more slipstreaming is happening this year, and more overtaking is possible.

You should have also caught the quip in the Oz commentary when Alan Jones admitted he didn't know that his Williams was sponsored by Bin Laden - had he known, he would have run over the little bugger .

Thanks VB.

I agree, If Shumacher didn´t even see it coming it was hardly just another move.

I've never heard him use " HOT DOG " before, could this have been a 'special' as they were in USA ?

I'm gonna miss you Murray

It sounded to me like Brundle was more inpressed by Montoya's move than Murray.

It was the highlight of the race and managed to keep me awake at 4.50 in the morning.

We all can't way for the next season...

And it will be a very boring silly season...

Sodemo2 · 1 Oct 2001, 12:52 (Ref:154224)

I think i'm right in saying he said "WOW, fantastic!!, and boy did the crowd love that!"

paulzinho · 1 Oct 2001, 19:31 (Ref:154429)

What about his speed from the slipstream through the speedtrap...Before move the fastest was 342kph by alesi and montoya. During the move the speed was 348kph..AWESOME!!!

He definitely said this...

"This is Grand Prix racing with a capital 'G' and a capital 'P'!"

BJAY · 10 Oct 2001, 13:54 (Ref:158533)

After Martin Brundle was describing the move, Murray then yelled out, in his usual tone, "FANTASTIC. And the crowd roooooaaaarrs. This truly is Grand Prix racing with a capital G and a capital P".
When I was watching it, I truly thought that Schumacher had lost control when he moved out of the way for Montoya. I was almost out of my bed, seeing as I'm in Australia, at about 4:30am, cheering for Montoya.

Sour grapes anyone?....LOL

What was special about it is that it look an easy one even if it was not. Thats is when you see talent at his best.
