"And I've Got To Stop, Because I've Got A Lump In My Throat" Photo: Gray Mortimore (Getty Images) We’ve lost the voice of motorsport. Murray Walker, iconic Formula One commentator, has died at age 97. Advertisement For a whole generation of race fans, Walker epitomized F1. He was its heart and soul, the voice that filled you in on the action and always maintained a level head. He was a race fan through and through; listening to him, you felt like you were in conversation with a like-minded soul. I think that was one of the best parts about Walker. You knew he was feeling everything right along with you.
