Here you will find audio commentary of all classic F1 races!
(Usually from the brilliant Murray Walker Where possible)
Unfortunately, over the years, FOM & the FIA have a bad habit of deleting peoples often brilliant F1 related content because of the visuals.
So, here, hopefully being able to just listen to commentary and the beauty that is the various F1 engines over the years will be a joy!

So it was to be the final race of the 2001 Season.A dominant one for Michael Schumacher & Ferrari, Schumacher's victory was his ninth of the season, tying his own record from 1995 and 2000 and Nigel Mansell from 1992. As a consequence of the race, Schumacher finished the year with a season-record 123 championship points scored in the World Drivers' Championship, breaking Alain Prost's all-time record for most career points scored.Many things would be the lasts for drivers and teams.Last races EVER for Jean Alesi, Tomas Enge & Mika Hakkinen.While it would also be the last race for Bennetton who would be rebranded as Renault for 2002 and after this race, the Prost team would be shut down forever, thus turning into quite the sad end from the Ligier days.Drivers Standings AFTER the race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 1232 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 653 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 564 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 495 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 376 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 317 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 128 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 129 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 1210 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 911 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 812 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 613 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 614 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 515 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 516 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 317 | (GBR) Jenson Button | 218 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 1Constructors AFTER racE:-1 | Ferrari | 1792 | McLaren-Mercedes | 1023 | Williams-BMW | 804 | Sauber-Petronas | 215 | Jordan-Honda | 196 | BAR-Honda | 177 | Benetton-Renault | 108 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 99 | Prost-Acer | 410 | Arrows-Asiatech | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

Just a few drivers changes for this one..Both drivers represented their countries in F1 for the first time.Thomas Enge =, the Czech driver, reaplced the injured and bruised Luciano Burti after his horror smash in Belgium.Alex Yoong also became the first ever Malaysian Driver to compete in F1 replacing Tarso Marques, who stayed on as the teams reserve and test driver.Montoya had 2 previous pole positions but had failed to convert them into wins..Could it be different this time?He would have stiff competition esepcially in the form of Ferraris 2nd driver who was in great form also.Drivers standings AFTER the race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 1072 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 573 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 544 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 485 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 256 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 247 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 128 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 119 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 910 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 911 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 812 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 613 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 514 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 515 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 416 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 317 | (GBR) Jenson Button | 218 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 1Constructors AFTER the race:-1 | Ferrari | 1612 | McLaren-Mercedes | 813 | Williams-BMW | 734 | Sauber-Petronas | 205 | BAR-Honda | 176 | Jordan-Honda | 167 | Benetton-Renault | 108 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 79 | Prost-Acer | 410 | Arrows-Asiatech | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

Lot of emotion in this one!This would not only prove to be the Race winners LAST EVER F1 victory, but it ironically came 2 weeks after he said he would be taking a sabbatical from the sport in 2002 with a replacement on the horizon.It would also turn out to be Murray Walkers FINAL EVER race he would commentate on and James Allen would be taking the reigns from here on out.A Legend of the sport, I hope you enjoy this last race with the Commentator of a generation.Drivers Standings AFTER the race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 1132 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 613 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 544 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 485 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 346 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 257 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 128 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 129 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 1210 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 911 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 812 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 613 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 614 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 515 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 516 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 317 | (GBR) Jenson Button | 218 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 1Constructors AFTER the Race:-1 | Ferrari | 1672 | McLaren-Mercedes | 953 | Williams-BMW | 734 | Sauber-Petronas | 215 | Jordan-Honda | 196 | BAR-Honda | 177 | Benetton-Renault | 108 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 99 | Prost-Acer | 410 | Arrows-Asiatech | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

This was a bit of a bizzare race!Drivers Stalling, new drivers in new teams, a weird situation where a car was up on its jacks at the start lights and a HUUUUUGE Shunt for Luciano Burti would mean it would be his last ever F1 start.It would also be Tarso Marques' last F1 start for Minardi as he would be replaced by Alex Yoong after this race.It would also be the last podium for the 3rd place man for his current team and his last until 2003.The last EVER points finish for the man in 6th which would bring a sad end to what SHOULD have been more in his career.Ferrari would be the 1st Constructor to reach 650 race starts and with it, they would break Alain Prosts all time win record.Drivers Standings AFTER race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 1042 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 573 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 484 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 445 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 246 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 157 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 118 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 119 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 910 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 911 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 812 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 613 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 514 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 515 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 416 | (GBR) Jenson Button | 217 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 118 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 1Constructors AFTER race:-1 | Ferrari | 1522 | McLaren-Mercedes | 813 | Williams-BMW | 594 | Sauber-Petronas | 205 | BAR-Honda | 166 | Jordan-Honda | 167 | Benetton-Renault | 108 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 59 | Prost-Acer | 410 | Arrows-Asiatech | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

Few Driver Swaps happening here..Jean Alesi went from Prost to Jordan, and he was replaced by Heinz Harald Frentzen who was sacked by Jordan a few races prior.So this was it.David Coulthard, try as he might was 37 points behind the Immovable German, M. Schumacher.He NEEDED a miracle to keep the championship fight alive.Could the Mclarens deal some damage, or would the Ferrari combination be too strong..Well, all types of records would be broken and matched this day..Campiones! (1st Constructor to win 11 Championships)It also might not have meant much, but this would be the final ever fastest lap for Mika Hakkinen.It would also be the last ever start for Luciano Burti due to a huge crash in practise at the next GP.Drivers Standings AFTER the race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 942 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 513 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 464 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 445 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 216 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 157 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 118 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 119 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 910 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 911 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 612 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 513 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 414 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 415 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 416 | (GBR) Jenson Button | 217 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 118 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 1Constructors Standings:-1 | Ferrari | 1402 | McLaren-Mercedes | 723 | Williams-BMW | 594 | Sauber-Petronas | 205 | BAR-Honda | 166 | Jordan-Honda | 157 | Benetton-Renault | 68 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 59 | Prost-Acer | 410 | Arrows-Asiatech | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

Mike Schumi could take one giant leap forward to his 4th world championship with a win here.But as the story usually goes at a home GP, it is never that simple.Montoya took his first ever pole.One HUGE Crash on the start line would have implications for the rest of the race.Few things to note, this was the last time the race was held on this classic track.The race for 2002 would be on a shorter version of the circuit.This would also be BARs 2nd and last podium until 2004, and the last for a Canadian Driver until 2017.Drivers Standings AFTER race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 842 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 473 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 414 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 405 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 196 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 157 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 118 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 109 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 910 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 911 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 612 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 513 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 414 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 415 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 416 | (GBR) Jenson Button | 217 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 118 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 1Constructors AFTER Race:-1 | Ferrari | 1242 | McLaren-Mercedes | 663 | Williams-BMW | 564 | Sauber-Petronas | 195 | BAR-Honda | 166 | Jordan-Honda | 157 | Benetton-Renault | 68 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 59 | Prost-Acer | 410 | Arrows-Asiatech | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

Round 10 saw Ralf Schumacher who was already having a very good season pick up his first ever pole position.Always nervy when its your first.. But could the younger schumacher stave off the competition form his brother, team mate and the flying Scot Coulthard?Drivers Standings AFTER the race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 782 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 473 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 314 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 305 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 126 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 97 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 98 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 99 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 710 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 711 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 612 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 513 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 414 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 315 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 116 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 117 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 1Constructors After Race:-1 | Ferrari | 1082 | McLaren-Mercedes | 563 | Williams-BMW | 434 | Sauber-Petronas | 165 | Jordan-Honda | 156 | BAR-Honda | 127 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 58 | Prost-Acer | 39 | Arrows-Asiatech | 110 | Benetton-Renault | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

Mclaren had been mighty strong the last 2 years with David coulthard winning them both.This year he had the chance to be the first British driver to do it since The great Jim Clark.As always, the Ferrari and Schumacher was strong but so was the Mclaren package.DC NEEDED a win to keep his slim titel hopes alive..But the eventual winner would be an almighty popular one given his season was pretty dreadful up to this point.Drivers standings AFTER the race:-1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 842 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 473 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 344 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 315 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 196 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 157 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 108 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 99 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 910 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 711 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 612 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 513 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 414 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 315 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 116 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 117 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 1Constructors AFTER race:-1 | Ferrari | 1182 | McLaren-Mercedes | 663 | Williams-BMW | 464 | Sauber-Petronas | 195 | Jordan-Honda | 156 | BAR-Honda | 127 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 58 | Prost-Acer | 39 | Arrows-Asiatech | 110 | Benetton-Renault | 1Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!

Was the championship starting to dwindle already?Could Coulthard breathe some life back into it?Well, IT was to be an historic day with the winner and 2nd place making history!3rd Place would go to a man who SORELY needed it!For One of the podium finishers, this would already be his 90th marking him as the 2nd ever driver to reach this feat!Drivers standings AFTER the race:- 1 | (DEU) Michael Schumacher | 582 | (GBR) David Coulthard | 403 | (BRA) Rubens Barrichello | 244 | (DEU) Ralf Schumacher | 225 | (DEU) Nick Heidfeld | 86 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 87 | (CAN) Jacques Villeneuve | 78 | (FIN) Kimi Raikkonen | 79 | (ITA) Jarno Trulli | 710 | (COL) Juan Pablo Montoya | 611 | (DEU) Heinz-Harald Frentzen | 612 | (FRA) Olivier Panis | 513 | (GBR) Eddie Irvine | 414 | (FRA) Jean Alesi | 315 | (NLD) Jos Verstappen | 116 | (ITA) Giancarlo Fisichella | 117 | (ESP) Pedro de la Rosa | 1 Constructors AFTER the race:-1 | Ferrari | 822 | McLaren-Mercedes | 483 | Williams-BMW | 284 | Sauber-Petronas | 155 | Jordan-Honda | 136 | BAR-Honda | 127 | Jaguar-Cosworth | 58 | Prost-Acer | 39 | Arrows-Asiatech | 110 | Benetton-Renault | 1 Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you like it, Follow me!
