In a special edition of The Race’s Bring Back V10’s podcast, we pay tribute to the legendary Formula 1 commentator Murray Walker, who sadly passed away over the weekend at the age of 97.
Mark Hughes, Edd Straw and Simon Arron join host Glenn Freeman to reflect on the key moments from Murray’s time in F1, and what made him so special to those inside the paddock as well as the millions of fans watching at home.
They discuss his unique relationship with his BBC co-commentator James Hunt and Murray’s special bond with British drivers – but also his popularity among the whole paddock, including their rivals!
There’s a look at how the art of F1 commentary has evolved over the years and how Murray worked with Martin Brundle, before ultimately deciding to retire his microphone in 2001 and remain a much-loved – and now missed – motorsport legend.
