[@thegh0st307]

If every commentator would be like him the pleasure to watch sports will go from 100% to 1000%.impossible anyways he was unique...

[@theracingbros2247]

His Murrayisms could be the UK'S national anthem!

[@owl_lxvi]

He was the benchmark of commentating

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

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.

[@andyparker2119]

He made the sport in my view, watching the classic f1 races, it's good to hear that voice talking about f1 if occasionally getting it wrong.....in his own unique way 😎👍

[@ryanthunderhammer9970]

David Croft - He said “best”, not “worst” 😂

[@arv-Hackney-London]

Exactly.

[@neelshattingh4930]

Silverstone should name a corner in his honor. Murray made many of us passionate about the sport when we just started watching. Always warms my heart to hear him.

[@Cloxxki]

I nominate no-name corner at Spa. Drivers will have to grow fond of it for Murray's sake.

[@Jtngetabettername]

@@Cloxxki Well, it has been named Ickx

[@asharfirdaus4147]

I nominate the chicane before start line straight at Silverstone. Or the right hander before Pilgrims Drop at Brands Hatch

[@stephentrout7879]

The last corner at Bathurst is called Murray's Corner.

Yeah, that would be fun.

[@hotstreak648]

Definitely

[@jelwing]

Agree!

Well hes 95 years old so for him it's maybe too tough to do like he did in the past

Underrated haha

[@TheTrooper115]

"And the first three cars are all Escorts, which isn't surprising as this is an all Escort race." Has got to be one of my favourite Murrayisms. Honourable mention to "The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical."

[@fluorosco]

You're clearly refering to the recent future

[@TheSt1092]

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.

[@Elfwald]

He did a one off radio commentary back in 2007 (European gp) for bbc 5 live though. So he has commentated for Hamilton albeit not on tv.

[@TheSt1092]

@@Elfwald Correct.

[@LS-Moto]

Also cool fact about Kimi: He is the only remaining driver to have raced on the old Hockenheimring, even though he retired I believe.

[@harroldinab]

Wrong, he commemtated during the 2007 European gp

[@3starskiwi]

Murray is without doubt the 🐐 on the mic. He is a total legend and a total gentleman

[@bashes1]

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.

[@DirtyJokesFan]

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.

[@LIAM-zn9qn]

Murray is a legend. Why do people have to grow old :( Legend of the sport.

[@Niftified]

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!

[@elbecko7969]

There is nothing wrong with this interview except that its on fire. Had to start with some cheeky Murray Walker quote. I would like to thank F1 for putting this up and well I would like to thank Tom as well for coming up with beyond the grid as it is truly a phenomenal podcast. I was listening to DC's podcast today in the morning and was surprised to know that Mikka is deaf from one ear after his horrible crash in 1995. My respect for Mikka went even higher after knowing about this and it is just these small bits of information that makes F1 even more enticing than what it already is.

[@wbsfoo]

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.

[@Craig32Curtis]

So honoured I got to see him in the flesh after the 2012 British GP... and he screamed 'GO GO GO!' on stage 🥰
