I could listen to Murray talk about his experience in F1 for hours and hours. A man that is responsible for millions of people's love of Formula 1 (including my own) and a true role model for those who want to share their own passion of the sport.

Remarkable fact : Kimi is the only current driver on the grid that Murray did TV commentary on . He did partial commentary of Alonso's and Raikkonen's rookie season and his last TV commentary before retirement was Mika Hakkinen's last win. He did also of course commentate on Max's dad. Where has all that time gone.

Not often you read a KZread comment thread with only positive comments, only Murray could pull that off. We’ll miss you.
I suggested this on the Sky F1 channel and will repeat here: At the halfway point of this year’s Silverstone race, put Murray’s image and ‘With half the race gone...’ quote on all the boards and screens to pay tribute. He had a fantastic sense of humour and it’s an affectionate reminder of a legend.
Murray Walker, the voice of F1. What a legendary commentator. This second season of Beyond the Grid just gets better and better.
Listening to this on the day of Murray's passing and wow is it powerful.
I just checked his age on wikipedia - apparently 95! That made me want to see if he was older or younger than Nicholas Parsons, also going strong, and it appears they are exactly the same age to the day - both born on 10th October 1923!

This man is a legend. I'm from Uruguay and thanks to the Internet I discovered BBC broadcasts and I could listen to him, absolutely brilliant.
Murray is a legend. Why do people have to grow old :( Legend of the sport.
OH MY GOODNESS, AND IT'S HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY.

Rest In Peace Murray. I’m so grateful you did this interview. You truly dedicated your life to making F1 what it is today. You will forever be the voice of Formula One. Enjoy the champagne up there mate.

There is a chapter in Unless I'm Very Much Mistaken where he talks about it. I'm not sure which languages the book was published in though.
Murray brought to life some of the biggest names in F1 and a lot of the smaller names. He will forever remain in my heart as the voice of F1.
I never watched any race that he's commentated but you can just feel the energy in his voice. What a legend. Murray Walker, you will be missed.
Really glad F1 managed to interview Murray Walker in-depth while he's still around! Priceless!
Hard to beat an interview with Murray Walker
I hope im still this sharp in thought when im 95. Absolute Legend! Only wish him the best for the future, and thanks for the great content F1. Super interesting to listen to the man behind the microphone.
And this has to appear in my recommendations on the day he died. Rest well legend, Senna, Hunt, along with other legends now have a proper commentator up there with them.
F1 never been the same without him
Rest well, man. You've more than earned it.
Rest in peace, a legend of the sport.
No one will be able to replace the unique talents of Murray Walker and those Murrayisms.
We will miss you and your voice Murray.
I sometimes search out clips of 80’s F1 and the best part is hearing Murray and James. Hearing his voice takes me back 30 years and is a big part of my memories of growing up. Thank you Murray ❤️.
I was shocked to hear the news of the passing of Murray Walker Forever on our hearts...😭
Hate to see that’s his has passed what a amazing commentator
Gone but will be remembered
As a young formula one fan who hasn't been watching for many years, hearing all the insight on older generations of F1 was amazing!
95 years of pure legend, mister Walker sir you are amazing and so are your stories! I wish you the best of health!
Thanks for sharing your passion legend... Rest in Peace Murray.
What a legend! Watching this again in Murray's memory. Rest in Peace.
I couldn't click on this video fast enough. GO GO GO
Rest in peace fella.

I listened to most of this on the way home from work this afternoon. Absolutely fantastic interview with a legend of Formula 1. You've outdone yourself with Season 2 Tom, keep up the brilliant work.
Now,I just want to hear voice to reflect his beautiful voice of "Murraynism" even he's already done his job in Formula 1 and Motorsport in this world
Rest in peace Murray

We will miss you... SO MUCH. Hats off to mr. Murray Walker 😔😥
So honoured I got to see him in the flesh after the 2012 British GP... and he screamed 'GO GO GO!' on stage 🥰
Cool! Living legend 😃 Could listen to Murray all day
I was born in 97 and so don’t remember the brilliant days of Murray’s commentary. But, according to my mum, I was mesmerised by Murray’s voice as a toddler. What an absolutely legend! 🏎

What a lovely episode, I have been waiting for an episode with Murray Walker for so long.
always considered Walker a legend, the undisputed best in his field, but damn this guy is even more of a legend than i knew, truly the greatest by far. and the way he reacted a race start, perfect beyond words.
Rest in peace LEGEND!
