    RIP to an absolute icon. The voice of F1 for me growing up was Murray and his commentary was one of a kind.

    Oh I used to love F1 when Murray was on there. I remember when Damon Hill won he was really choked up. Lovely man. I had no idea he was 97 - I would have guessed in his 70s. Bless him. RIP.

    An absolutely brilliant man, both defined his era and suited it perfectly.

    I read his Autobiography many years ago and there was one particular story that stuck with me for some reason...

    In his younger years he used to work for an advertising company that sent him on a research trip to a massive pet store company in the U.S. He noticed that at one end of the store they sold all the Cats & Dogs & Tigers etc, and at the other end of the store they sold all the bowls and leads and food guff as ‘optional extras’. He took that idea of ‘optional extras’ and brought it back to the UK car industry - so where you used to get a radio or a leather steering wheel as standard, they became ‘optional extras’. 

    I grew up with his voice as the soundtrack of motorsport and lost a lot of interest in F1 when he retired. RIP Murray.

    First became aware of Murray Walker commentating on rally cross, and enjoyed his comments for the rest of his career.

    Apart from the obvious commentary lines this is another of my favourite Walker moments!!

    “This would have been Senna's third win a row if he'd won the two before”



    RIP proper broadcasting legend.

    A sad day for sport. His calm yet excitable voice always for me enthused even if I wasnt really a Motorsport fan. His voice was so intrinsic with the racing, that to watch a race with the sound off would be pointless. 
    RIP Mr F1

    One of very few commentating greats, whose voice is synonymous with a sport.

    RIP Murray.

    If somebody mentioned F1 I would think of Murray Walker.
    To live to 97 and have such a fulfilling life, well played.

    Yet another iconic voice of first my childhood and then adult life. Murray was a legend . Every one remembers his gaff. The tragic day that Ayrton Senna died he was compassionate and truly professional

    Can't stand formula 1 but Murray was a broadcasting legend and always seemed an approachable normal person.  His enthusiasm and love for his sport was like Bobby Robson's love of football.

    RIP

    One of the all-time greats, in my opinion. I hope Murray would have forgiven for posting this link -https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/m4egou/some_of_murray_walkers_best_colemanballs_rip/.
