Oh man this makes me miss the 90s. My childhood is full of memories of Murray shouting 'Senna! Mansell! Piquet! Prost! Villeneuve! Barichello! Herbert! Patrese! Hakkinen! Berger!' with Sunday dinner smell in the background.

THE voice of F1. There is no exception. It was a pleasure to listen to him light up a race with his unique style of commentary. His love for the sport was genuinely spellbinding and you could almost feel him jumping out of the screen at you such was his palpable excitement. Thank you for the memories Murray. You will be greatly missed. You were the soundtrack to my childhood watching F1. What I wouldn't give to hear you say AND ITS GO GO GO just one more time. Modern commentary on F1 is great but his was special and only those who watched/listened in that era can appreciate that. There will only ever be one Murray Walker and I am absolutely fine with that. Nobody does it like him and they never will again. Fly high Sir.

Murray Walker was one of, if not the best, changing the way how F1 was being commented on. However, he did greatly benefit from having Hunt and Brundle next to him in the booth. A second pair of eyes and complementary knowledge have been instrumental.

I am German and hate the german commentary by Heiko Wasser and Christian Danner. Jochen Maas back then on RTL... I loved to hear the english version Eurosport provided at this time! Soooo I started learning english, so I could understand this great commentator, I didnt know back then... After a while, a friend of mine bought TOCA for PSX! Which featured him. Murray Walker not only is the best commentator, I have ever listened to, he is also responsible for my interest in learning english in my youth. And I need this today at my work! So Murray had a huge impact on my whole life!!! THANK YOU MURRAY!!! Nothing but love from this once little boy, now a grown man, who even had visited the UK by now. xD I just love you guys from England. :)

blimey, the footage of Murray in the box in full flow is fantastic, the arm waving is great! With today's red button and endless channels, Murray cam would sometimes be better viewing than the track action! The Barcelona 91 Senna Mansell pass, James was talking when it happened, but you can hear Murray exploding in the background!

1997 was my first full year watching F1, and it was my favourite year watching F1 as well, especially with Murray there commentating all of those memorable moments (ably assisted by Martin). Even if Murray did have the worst case of commentator's curse that year!

I have a few sporting passions in my life, one I play still at 53 which is Rugby, the others in no particular order cricket and F1, there is in my mind (my era) a simpatico of the best commentators. Those that are synonymous with their sport, but why? The TMS crew on cricket (too many to mention) but the late great Bill McLaren and of course the late Murray Walker. Why they had a mode/style/tempo that was and is unique to them individually, a deep interest (love?) respect for the participants/ players/racers. Most had had played or raced at some level. But what seems to be the winning methodology was the preparation prior to a match or race.

"I don't remember buying McLaren." 🤣 "Gosh I've done it again." 😂. I miss those days. They're all too professional now and quite a bit less passionate and opinionated. They're called commentators for a reason, they're supposed to comment on what's going on, not just confirm what your eyes have already seen.

Für mich gibt es wirklich keinen Grund die GBR zu besuchen aber, da ich ein Motorsport Enthusiast bin und in England der Motorsport heilig ist und voller Leidenschaft gefeiert wird, sollte ich mit den Kumpels zusammen einen heben oder auch mehrere.. Das sieht man auch an den Kommentator wirklich ohne ihn denke ich würde die F1 nur so halb populär!!
