Devastated to hear the news. Murray had the special ability to infuse his passion for motorsport into others, something that enthralled viewers of all ages. I can safely say that there are literally generations of fans across the world that wouldn't have found their way without his peerless abilitly (including myself) The world of motorsport is truly a worse place without him. Rest in peace legend.

I was allowed to stay up late and watch the races and will always remember Murray being the voice which got us talking about the sport. I've never been close to my Dad but some of my most fond memories with him were also spent with Murray chatting along too.

Being an American there wasn’t much exposure for F1. But hearing him practically jump through the microphone to bring you to the track was amazing. His humor, wit, and mistakes made him a legend. Thanks for the memories Murray

He was such gentleman and it meant so much to me to as a kid. Thank you for everything Murray. The world of motorsport will never be the same without you.

It's difficult to explain. It felt like you were there somehow and his enthusiasm was addictive. I was up at sometimes 2am on a school day to watch the magic that was the F1 Spectacular. When things went wrong, such as Senna's crash, the genuine shock, disbelief and careful choice of words made it real, as though you had watched it happen in front of you. The man was easily one of the best commentators, let alone sports or racing commentators.

What a legend. The voice of my childhood and the man who helped fuel my enthusiasm for the sport.

His voice will keep ringing to our ears

Farewell, Mr. Walker. You will be missed, greatly. Though not intentional, you have left an indelible mark in millions of people. Thank you.

This truly made me tear up. I really wished I would've had the chance to meet him. Greetings from Finland, rest easy Murray. At least we still have Buxton, legend doing a tribute about another legend!

Rest in peace Murray. I will never forget his words from the 2001 Malaysian grand prix (the race that got me into F1 and racing in general as a 6 year old) "Jos Verstappen is a fighter every inch of the way!" The way Murray took the fans along with his enthousiasm is something only a few commentators are gifted with. Lets hope he's commenting the great race in the sky from now on.

From a little boy the first F1 race I witnessed was 1998's Belgium GP, a spectacular crash but most importantly the passion you could feel through your television from this great man...from that day I've been hooked for 24 years to such a fantastic sport, thank you Murray...thank you.

You think of F1 and how you got hooked in by the action and the drama, when in reality it was Murray's excitable descriptions of the events that contributed so much. He will always be remembered.

His voice is so iconic. On races there where iconic moments but his commentary made it even better and iconic. Rest In Peace. Legend.

A true Gentleman and a very much loved man, you will be so missed Murray but NEVER forgotten ❤

I got into F1 in the 1990s and I for one would not have anywhere near the level of interest in it without Murray's passion. Such sad news. There will never be anyone like him.

This is a great tribute to someone who brings back so much nostalgia. I remember sitting down with my grandad on a Sunday after our lunch and watching F1, not having a clue what is happening but 6 year old me, spending time with my grandad, I couldn't have asked for anything else. Thank you Mr. Walker. You will be missed by millions of fans

No words can describe how brilliant Murray was, not just his career as a commentator in f1, his love and enthusiasm for motorsport in general shared with the audience. Nobody will ever match this mans passion and commitment.
