What I love about Murray is he was like your Dad or Uncle doing commentary in the house. He was so relatable because he was so spontaneous and didn't sound as though he was coached into commentary like others they all have this specific professional way of doing it, but Murray was more himself and genuine. Like me or you. He just felt free to say whatever he wanted however he said it. It was so different from others. He truly is one of a kind.
He was incredibly knowledgeable and loved the sport like no other, his enthusiasm was infectious. It's an Incredibly difficult job to talk for 2 hours non stop, of course he would make occasional blunders, who wouldn't. Legend.
When I was 13, I wrote a letter to him C/O BBC. Thought no more of it until a few weeks later I received a hand written reply from the man himself. Will treasure it forever. I love you Murray. Forever the voice of Formula One

@@luggatz4460 still nowhere near as bad. Back then there was a spare car. That crash happened today you would have what less than 6 cars left for the race
Occasionally he did make prophecies that turned out to be correct. Before the start of the Monaco GP in 96 he stated it was a 75 lap race. Two hours later it would indeed end on the 75th lap
Meanwhile, some thirty-something dude drives well in a circle, gets knighthood for "services in motorsport". You know, he IS a great driver, but what did Murray do in contrast? Nothing? Served in the war, worked in a job and did all of his sports commentary alongside that, starting around 1949? I question the selection process of the royal British crown...
Murray’s greatest quality as commentator was that he never tried to wow anyone with the wealth of knowledge he certainly had, but he had this ability to make it seem as though he was like all of us watching at home shouting at the scream and waving our arms in fanaticism. Truly a legend the sport will never see again
May Murray Walker rest in peace. I never watched a race with him commentating but I think his voice made everyone glued to their televisions. Rest easy
Murray: "I hate to say this, but a lot of people here are really debating whether Ricardo Rosset is Formula One material" Martin: "Well, that's a fairly short debate Murray" ----------Awkward pause--------------- Murray: "End of message. And uh... thrEe minutes to go"
We all miss him. I started watching F1 as a teenager and I got hook with Murray voice and knowledge of the sport. Yes he did have those famous expressions that we will never forget. He was and still is the voice of F1.
Please for the first race of the season, insert a clip of Murray saying “GO GO GO” to start the Grand Prix or do it for the British GP. If there’s any tribute worthy to honor his legacy, it would be that. It would touch all of us hearing his voice just one last time.
The power of Murray Walker is so great, that even tough we know the outcome of these clips, we still get excited to see them. As far as I know there wasn't any commentator like him, and there probably won't be anyone like him.
Some of Murray's greatest moments (not featured here) occurred when a British driver was involved in something. He was the fiercest supporter of all of them. When Schumacher wiped out Hill in 94, you could hear Murray's blood boiling.
For those who note how often he would say "this is fantastic" even in negative situations, it used to be used like "incredible" - which literally means "unbelievable". Both are words which can be used in positive or negative circumstances, but often when something unusual happens which can benefit one person whilst being non-benefitial to someone else.
I think people should be able to figure that out but of course, so many of them have to try and turn everything into a joke these days. Memes both help the sport and make the fanbase seem braindead at times lol
He also sounded enthusiastic and genuine, unlike many of todays commentators who either sound like fake hypemachines or like they want to be somewhere else....
@@kenlykkeslett7501 Alex Jacques, Jack Nicholls and even Ben Edwards beg to differ. They're obvs. not Murray-level quality but it'd be very unfair to say that they don't find genuine excitement covering the races.
@@carlosbarton763 Fair enough. Not really too fond of Ben Edwards, and Alex can be a bit grating when he is alone (but combined with Davide Valsecchi, who is absolutely awesome actually, works quite well.

So with that said, there are exceptions, but for the most part many of the commentators just lacks that bit of eye catching aura.
Amazing. I've seen many of these races, 8:56 is my favourite, you can hear the natural passion and delight for Damon in his voice right there! Murray was the reason I grew fond of F1, and how I've learnt what it is all about, right down to each individual team and driver.
One of my faves is Murray shouting "Coulthaaard!' in pure exasperation when he crashed out of the '99 Nurburgring GP. Also, anything he said for the '95 F1 game is burned into my brain forever.
and some responded in kind. Senna would talk to him whenever he saw him, even asking him to restart mispronouncing his name. Murray had started pronouncing Ayrton correctly, Senna heard it, and the next time they met he asked Murray to go back to the wrong way because it didn't sound right
"I've got to stop, because I've got a lump in my throat... Forgive us all if we feel a bit emotional, because that is our boy" Same could be said of you, Murray. You were our boy to billions and billions of people who grew up with your voice, inexplicably linked to Grand Prix racing forever. To quote Murray himself - "He is absolutely unique... Except for the other one, which is identical." There's no "other one" though... Murray Walker was unique, he was spirited, and he made watching formula 1 immensely more enjoyable to watch. We miss you, Murray. Thank you for everything you left us with, you are an absolute treasure.
So brilliant thanks for the memories Murray. You were Mr Formula One and you had no idea but you gave me so many happy memories over the years. I started watching f1 in 1978 and spent a very happy time listening to you and James Hunt then you and Jonathan Palmer then you and Martin Brundle. Thanks so much for everything you did to make my Sunday afternoons so exciting. Rest in peace Murray Wallker
Murray could make the dullest of races so exciting with his ever-enthusiastic commentary that you were on the edge of your seat for two hours. Even after the race was over.
My favourite of all his calls. I even used it when at a school sports carnival, I was watching from the sides when suddenly one competitor flipped off another. I said "He means he's going for first." And the teacher for a moment thought that was what he was implying. Before he was removed for unsportsmanlike behaviour.
11:10, most people fell in love with Michael for his signature war cry, but for me, it was the fantastic(*in Murray’s voice) commentary of Murray that got me hooked!!
0:02 Did Murray just predict sprint races? But no seriously. He was a massive part of my childhood. I would have imaginary races with matchbox F1 cars on an Estoril circuit play mat, mimicking Murray's commentary. I was 5 years old at the time, no bully :( Rest in Peace Murray.
I used to make a cardboard and paper version of Monaco, cut out some cars I draw and coloured, and use a dice to have fake races. And when something fun happened, I would fake commentate in Murray Walker style. You are not alone in creative childhood love of F1 and Murray!
I wish l had the oportunity to meet Murray in person. Now l have the lump in my throat... Rest in peace dear Murray Walker. Thanks for share your passion with the world.
The man’s passion was palpable. My favorite instances were when his passion for the moment impeded his will ability to accurately speak, which is something very endearing, human and understandable to us all.
Murray Walker was so wonderful. We shall all miss him, but I love to look back at his commentary, having not ever heard it in my youth, because I did not watch Formula One back then, when he was still commentating.
@@neilonaniet Yes, and I've had to say this so many times before, but it was just my idea for an account name, and I'm not really Lightning McQueen! Just an autistic guy who loves the Cars movies, and Formula One, of course!
I didnt hear him in live broadcast, but every single time I hear Murray Walker comment the race I feel like sitting in the time machine and watching our all time heroes, no matter if you loved Schumi, Mika, Senna or anybody else. Heaven racers have been joined by the best commenator so far, and, as he would say, seeing his starting grid - "Oh my godness, this is fantastic!" Rest in peace and big thank You for everything. Absolute legend.
Murray was the reason i started watching F1 in 1987 aged 7 , i would say to my dad , who is that shouty man, i was hooked watching F1 from then on because of Murray , he is responsible for some of my greatest childhood memories and so much excitement over the years in f1 , thank you Murray , Immortal Legend
He can now commentate the heaven gran prix, with, james ,lauda senna, Ratzenberger, Sir stirling moss , gilles villeneuve and all the other drivers who sadly passed Edit : I have edited this comment to avoid further arguments being made into this reply section
I can imagine... 1 LIGHT, 2 LIGHTS, 3 LIGHTS, 4 LIGHTS, 5 LIGHTS...AND ITS GO GO GO! AND SENNA SPRINTS AWAY JAMES HUNT FOLLOWS RIGHT BEHIND HIM! HERE COMES HUBERT AND BIANCHI LITERALLY FIGHTING EACH OTHER'S REAR AND LAUDA IS DECKING WITH RATZENBERGER AND GILLES VILLENEUVE! OH THIS IS AMAZING!
When he said "I've got to stop because ive got a lump in my throat" I remember watching that race as a 10 year old kid, hearing how much it meant to Murray made it mean that much to me
gets me emotional listening to Murray, he made F1 for what it is, his passion for the sport was unreal, I have always wanted to be a commentator and Murray Walker truly inspires me!
Not sure if you changed what Murray said at 12:07 for a joke, which I am missing if so, so apologies. But he did say 'because i've got a lump in my throat'
I was 5 years old when I first saw a Grand Prix (Hungary 1989) and heard the epicness of Murray Walker commentary, and I was hooked on F1 immediately. He'll never be forgotten
A once in a lifetime voice. I started watching F1 regularly in 2007 but watching a lot of the earlier moments made me absolutely love this man. He was THE voice of F1 and while others tried to replicate that same excitement, it was never the same. I'm gonna miss him lots.

4:30 aaaaaaoooooooo
I remember Murray so well in the 90's. He was so much more vocal when Nigel and Damien won race's. He will be missed, a true legend 🙌
We'll definitely need a part two of this.
I wish l had the oportunity to meet Murray in person. Now l have the lump in my throat... Rest in peace dear Murray Walker. Thanks for share your passion with the world.
I could watch this for hours. In fact we all did for years and loved all of it. What a man he was.
The man’s passion was palpable. My favorite instances were when his passion for the moment impeded his will ability to accurately speak, which is something very endearing, human and understandable to us all.
*literally bad things happening on track*
THIS IS AMAZING!
INCREDIBLE!
That's why we love Murray.
Legend.
Condolences to his family.
3 lights, 4 lights, 5 laps... "yeeees yeeees this is magnificent" 🤣
Murray was just absolute gold 😉
the best 12mins of my lifetime!! thanks for the memories Murray!
His "Ohhaaaggh" at 4:30 when DC stacks it up entering the pits absolutely kills me.
Murray Walker was so wonderful. We shall all miss him, but I love to look back at his commentary, having not ever heard it in my youth, because I did not watch Formula One back then, when he was still commentating.
Has no one ever pointed out that you've spelt "Lightning" wrong in your username?
@@neilonaniet Yes, and I've had to say this so many times before, but it was just my idea for an account name, and I'm not really Lightning McQueen! Just an autistic guy who loves the Cars movies, and Formula One, of course!
"Murray Walker greatest moments". Also the best moments of F1.
I didnt hear him in live broadcast, but every single time I hear Murray Walker comment the race I feel like sitting in the time machine and watching our all time heroes, no matter if you loved Schumi, Mika, Senna or anybody else. Heaven racers have been joined by the best commenator so far, and, as he would say, seeing his starting grid - "Oh my godness, this is fantastic!" Rest in peace and big thank You for everything. Absolute legend.
In 2001, the first Formula One race, I haven't missed a single one since ... your voice lives on forever. rest in peace, legend.
They'll Never be another Murray Walker 😥 Rest in peace Mr Formula One
Murray was the reason i started watching F1 in 1987 aged 7 , i would say to my dad , who is that shouty man, i was hooked watching F1 from then on because of Murray , he is responsible for some of my greatest childhood memories and so much excitement over the years in f1 , thank you Murray , Immortal Legend
You were our boy too Murray. Thanks for all the Sunday afternoons, you are a legend.
He can now commentate the heaven gran prix, with, james ,lauda senna, Ratzenberger, Sir stirling moss , gilles villeneuve and all the other drivers who sadly passed
Edit : I have edited this comment to avoid further arguments being made into this reply section
I can imagine...
1 LIGHT, 2 LIGHTS, 3 LIGHTS, 4 LIGHTS, 5 LIGHTS...AND ITS GO GO GO! AND SENNA SPRINTS AWAY JAMES HUNT FOLLOWS RIGHT BEHIND HIM! HERE COMES HUBERT AND BIANCHI LITERALLY FIGHTING EACH OTHER'S REAR AND LAUDA IS DECKING WITH RATZENBERGER AND GILLES VILLENEUVE! OH THIS IS AMAZING!

It's been nearly 1 year since he passed rest in power Murray walker
Unforgettable. The voice of F1 when I grew up.
3:33 Murray trying to talk: "This is what we we're fff.. ffear..." Murray's mind: "Hoping" , bless the man, loved the excitement as much as we did :)
This year is Michael Schumacher! YEEEESS! I need a 10 hour version of this, such a pure emotion always makes me smile!
When he said "I've got to stop because ive got a lump in my throat"
I remember watching that race as a 10 year old kid, hearing how much it meant to Murray made it mean that much to me
Rest In Peace Legend ❤❤
gets me emotional listening to Murray, he made F1 for what it is, his passion for the sport was unreal, I have always wanted to be a commentator and Murray Walker truly inspires me!
Legend of The F1 Commentary himself.
9:29 The funny part of the video
12:07 "But I'm got to stop, because I'm gonna a lot in my throat."
Not sure if you changed what Murray said at 12:07 for a joke, which I am missing if so, so apologies.
But he did say 'because i've got a lump in my throat'
Ehwoohoo
I was 5 years old when I first saw a Grand Prix (Hungary 1989) and heard the epicness of Murray Walker commentary, and I was hooked on F1 immediately. He'll never be forgotten
Murray Walker and Martin Brundle, name a more iconic duo. Brilliant. Rest in peace.
It must be said
Nope Murry and James Hunt that was the inconic Duo
Murray Walker and James Hunt
Prost crashes Senna in 1989, Murray says: " This is fantastic!"
Senna crashes Prost in 1990, Murray says: "This is amazing!"
1:07 the moment where Chile made history 😂🙌
@@TheLibermania Eliseo Salazar was from Chile, and he went down in history for getting in a fight with triple world champion Nelson Piquet.
@@blueshift7320 I looked it up. I was with Murray and thought he is Columbian. My mistake. That's why i deleted my comment
A once in a lifetime voice. I started watching F1 regularly in 2007 but watching a lot of the earlier moments made me absolutely love this man. He was THE voice of F1 and while others tried to replicate that same excitement, it was never the same. I'm gonna miss him lots.
Would loved to have heard Murray commentate on some of the more recent races, Turkey '20, Hockenheim '19 and Canada '11, b..rr..rilliant!!
