Damon Hill works hard but the gods of comedy work harder in the Saturday qualifying session of the 1993 British Grand Prix [x 30:00]

I conveniently cannot remember what Damon said in the car but he came up to me afterwards and said, “Murray, do something for me will you?” “Anything, Damon. What is it?” “In future just keep your mouth shut, will you?!”

From Murray Walker’s 2002 autobiography Unless I’m Very Much Mistaken

Transcript under the cut (thank you @christiangeistdorfer!!) :

Murray Walker: Damon, you are not only on pole but Georgie [Damon’s wife] has just been watching you with a tremendous smile on her face! You start the British Grand Prix in pole position and that’s the second race in succession. Congratulations! You must have put 20 000 people on the gate for tomorrow!

Damon Hill: Murray. Sorry, I nearly hit another car because I’m talking to you but um, I have to say I’m extremely happy. This means a lot to me and I’m going to do my very best tomorrow and hopefully we can get the same result as-

Williams pitcrew: Damon, I’m sorry- Alain has pipped you [to pole position]

MW: Aw Damon, I’m sorry. We’ve just given you the good news, now the bad news and that is your teammate, Alain Prost, has beaten you by one tenth of a second. So I’m afraid your joy was short-lived, but you are still on the front row of the grid!

DH: Well Murray, what can I say? It’s all up and down, isn’t it, with motor racing.

Murray Walker telling half of the grid that Michael Schumacher could wipe the floor with them, right to their faces, will never not be funny [x]

Clive James: In the presence of all these drivers, you haven't mentioned the one guy who must be haunting all of them, and that's Schumacher.

Murray: Simply because he's not here, but...

Clive: Well...

Murray: Clive, if Schumacher is in a Ferrari this year, which is as good as he deserves it to be, none of those chaps behind me will see which way he went.

Murray Walker once said "If is F1 spelled backwards." This is because Murray Walker was dyslexic.
