He was before my time watching F1. This gives a great feeling of how much I missed. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/murray-walker-obituary-f1-broadcasting-legend-dies-aged-97/5715829/

Love watching historic races on YouTube with Murray's commentary. A legend. RIP :(

In my household growing up Murray was known for his British Touring Car Championship commentary as much as Formula 1. BTCC in the 90s was amazing stuff (it's not bad today to be honest). This was a classic:

"Hell hath no fury like a woman rammed"

Didn't really get to hear him call races - other than the ones I drove in so many of the F1 video games.

"If I am not mistaken.... I AM mistaken..."

And now with Youtube, even my kids recognize the voice as they deep dive into old race clips.

He will be missed by so many fans.

Too bad we didn't get more of him in the states. Certainly was aware of him though. A legend.

Williams had that quote on their halo.

I said it because I couldn't remember which team had it on their halo and I was hoping someone would remind me. Thanks!!!!
