There is just no overlooking how incredible Murray was as an F1 commentator, regardless of whether he spoke a Murrayism or he was on point during a Grand Prix. The talent, the voice, the emotions, the ability to let you be a part of the race in the comfort of your own home...he had that talent, and it will never be replaced. RIP Murray Walker
I do love that DC, when discussing that faithful weekend, also mentions Ratzenberger...it's so easy to forget him next to Senna and we should never! R.I.P. Murray! Even though I didn't watch him always (being Dutch and having our own coverage) it was always a delight to hear him.
He was an amazing guy , advertising executive, and gran prix commentator at the same time until he reached business retirement age and then kept on going at commentating. Bless your memory Murray!
Wonderful tribute. I have to stop because I've got something in my eye. RIP Murray Walker and thank you for always managing to put the sport i love into words.
Murray walker was why I fell in love with f1. Culthard and webber were teo 9f my of my favourite drivers and pundits in f1. Your chequers flag may have waved for the final but your companies will live on as will you legendary voice. Rev those biked and ride over the rainbow 🌈 bridge RIP Murray Charles walker.
WHAT A MAN i JUST WANT TO CRY R.I.P. MR WALKER HOPE THE RACING UP THERE NEEDS A GOOD COMENTATOR COS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST !!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WHO MUST BE SO SO PROUD OF YOU !!
A very good tribute to a fantastic voice of racing I have listened to his commentary,s since I was a boy,motor racing was and still is my favourite sport Murray will be very munched missed RIP
This just came up in my feed again. Good man. I started following the sport in 84, and he was 'F1'. In the 80's we didn't get all the live races and you'd get the season starting in Brazil in those days, on our TV about 10pm. I'd be allowed to stay up to see it, you'd get "The Chain", then Murray saying "Welcome, to, Rio (nod head) de Janeiro (more nods) for 'Grand Prix'! Then you watched Prost, Piquet, Mansell, Senna, Rosberg duke it out in gorgeous cars. It doesn't get better than that 👍🏼
So many races i enjoyed since 1978.Murray and James Hunt were my life 16 races a year. You know you almost felt like you knew him personally he made you feel that way Then with Jonathan Palmer then Martin Brundle so many happy years so many brilliant commentaries so much excitement and sad memories too. Thanks Murray Wallker the voice of F1 and you allways will be. Rip Murray
What a amazing tribute to a F1 legend i had the pleasure of meeting you while my dad was part of Schumachers pit crew at Ferrari what an amazing guy and such a moving video with murray walking up the grid at the end god bless RIP Murray Walker
I have watched F1 since around 1985 and the one constant was Murry, he wouldn't always get it right but i took it as someone who was so enthusiastic about the sport his mouth was running a million miles a hour and his brain struggled to keep up but we loved him for it. There a few people who are truly great and will never see the likes again, Michael Jackson, Prince, Freddy, Senna Whitney, Jim Clarke, just a few off the top of my head, Murry is right up there. He made me fall in love with F1, RIP Murry, you are and always will be F1, God bless.
Murray Walker was the voice of Motorsport, I feel blessed to have listened to him over many years doing what he loved.... no other person can come close. RIP Sir.
Fitting tribute to a great and passionate man,,,, though Brundle's Sky tribute also had me choked a bit. Any race fan who grew up in the 70's & 80's in most of the English-speaking world heard and felt his love the the sport and the drivers. The Murray-isms were just the icing on the cake. My personal favorite interaction between him an James Hunt was at Monaco: Murray: "And there are flames coming from the back of Prost's car as he enters the swimming pool" ,,, Hunt: "Well,,, that should put them out then". Just wonderful.
Yeah I can totally get what you mean... The way he was able to paint the picture of the race was amazing. I remember watching the Grand Prix where Schumacher won his first Ferrari Championship and the way he described Suzuka was amazing. He really made the venues give them that unique feel to them. His enthusiasm is something we should all take and apply to our passions. What a gentleman
"literally everyone loved" - a silly statement ! - in your head has every human on the planet watched F1 and exclusively listened to the broadcasts Murray commentated, and loved him for ? Stupid statement.
Sorry to be different but his voice used to really annoy me and he always had to be corrected by his co presenter because he made so many mistakes. I was so glad when he retired. F1 is so much better now that we have ex drivers as commentors on the sport, we get all of the relevant and technical information as well, no stupid over the top presenting style with blunder after blunder.
His voice and commentary made the races more alive, flick through the channels on TV and his voice could make anyone watch the rest of the race. Motorsport commentary now is too boring and a bit detached for anyone not already deep into the sport. Particularly noticable when the racing has been really boring for a while.
@@StrongOneX well I disagree, his voice used to really annoy me and he seemed to know so little about the racing, he knew a lot about the races from years previous but he made far too many mistakes to be good, especially with modern technically superior cars, I could imagine him stumbling through a commentary not knowing a thing that he was talking about but ramping up the high pitch with his over the top commentary style. I much prefer what we have now with ex drivers that actually can explain the many technical issue with F1.
The voice of formula 1. A fatherly figure that guided you through a sport that contained excitement drama and at time tragedy. He connected with his audience and all who met him in a way that came easily and naturally to him. Just a lovely enthusiastic talent and an ultimate gentleman. Met him in 2008 and instantly felt connected to him. Incredible man. I will miss him.
“Murray Walker was a V12 voice” summed it up nicely

Murray Walker plus Fleetwood the chain.... F1 Heaven
RIP Murray... you will be missed by us all 😢
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting him about 30 years ago. Really really nice chap
Murray Walker & James Hunt is the best commentary duo we've ever had and ever will have, they will never be bettered or even gotten close to
I said before and I'll say it again, his Murrayisms were just to keep you on your toes.
He's going to be missed.
We will miss your voice, your wisdom & your blunders 😂
Rest in peace 🇬🇧
It seemed to be a golden age of F1, and Mr Walker was (for British fans) very much part of that. His style can never be emulated.
Wonderful tribute. I have to stop because I've got something in my eye. RIP Murray Walker and thank you for always managing to put the sport i love into words.
The man was an utter joy. awful loss.
Murray your voice is F1 and I will always be in my head forever RIP Murray Walker
I'm not crying, I've got an uncontrolled leak in a fluid system
Thank you will never, ever be enough, Murray.

An absolute legend who will always be remembered
Two years gone today, but not forgotten. RIP Murray
Another brilliant tribute. And very true - perhaps one of the very few fans of a sport that the sport loved him back. Legend.
Amazing tribute by D.C Murray Walker was the voice of motor racing. It was because of Murray I started watching it
Thank you for sharing this
Murray walker what a legend RIP
That v12 voice will echo into the future. People die, but inspiration and passion won’t be lost.

Would have been 100 today. Still very sadly missed
This and Sky’s tribute are both really well done. Great tributes to a great man. He’s not been on tv for years but will be really sadly missed
It's no coincidence that I really stopped enjoying F1 when Murray retired. He was F1, to my ears. A great great man.
Yeah I can totally get what you mean... The way he was able to paint the picture of the race was amazing.

Thank you for the memories Murray
Lovely tribute by DC to a legend.
This is a beautiful piece
Simply perfect tribute.
Murray and James with The Chain on the soundtrack. Perfect.
Lovely tribute by Channel 4 and DC.
Legend 👊👊👊
Muarry Walker the V10 of commentary voices.
The voice of F1 will always be better than F1 it'self.
Music is 'Forces of Attraction' from The Theory of Everything soundtrack, very well chosen by C4
Feel lucky and privileged to have watched f1 growing up in the 90’s and listening to murray. Rip mr walker
Same here.
I don't think I can think of anyone who literally everyone loved apart from Murray.
"literally everyone loved"
- a silly statement !
- in your head has every human on the planet watched F1 and exclusively listened to the broadcasts Murray commentated, and loved him for ? Stupid statement.
@@michaelanderson7715 stop taking it literally you knew what he fucking meant
Sir Murray Walker RIP
A true gentleman
A fitting tribute to a lovely man.
R.I.P Murray!
nice video :)
Much missed
0:53 Senna Donington 1993 😊
Great voices by Murray and Hunt.
Old Auz vids on here have Auz studio guys who used BBC's broadcast of some pre race bits and the whole race inc Murray and James..
"And now i got to stop, because i got lump in my throat!"
Race In Peace MW.
Murray was F1
F1 feels a little different without Murray. So so sad
1:11 But did he? 🤔
R.I.P. Murray. Who next Prince Philip :(
James McAvoy narrating? sounds like him
David Coulthard.
James McAvoy that’s funny. 😂
