Very sorry to read that, I really liked his work, especially with James Hunt.

Very sad news. I loved Murray's style of commentating and was sad when he retired 20 years ago.
RIP Murray and thank you for the indelible mark you left on the world of motor racing.

Hopefully there'll be a good documentary on the BBC about him shortly.

Just seen the news myself always a over used term but Murray was a real F1/motorsports legend who revolutionised it's commentary and had a true passion for the sport throughout his life. RIP Murray thanks for the contribution to the presentation of motorsports over the years and the many memories, gaffs and laughs you gave us along the way. I hope this is a nice tribute.

Incredibly sad news. A true legend. I would never have got so interested in motor racing had it not been for Murray Walker. His enthusiasm and passion for Formula 1 had me hooked, and is the reason I still love the sport today. I’m sure that’s the same for many others. Murray was not just the voice of Formula 1 however. In an earlier career he was an advertising exec, and was responsible for coining the phrase, “A Mars a day helps you work rest and play”. An amazing legacy to leave us with.

A unique and enthusiastic commentator who was quite unmistakable, even someone like me, who has never got into motor sport at all recognised him instantly. RIP Murray
