Murray Walker, the British broadcaster regarded as the 'Voice of Formula One', has died aged 97. Walker, who served in the Second World War, became a Formula One icon during more than 30 years as a commentator for the BBC and ITV. Known for his passionate vocal style while commentating, he reported on his first Grand Prix for BBC radio at Silverstone in 1949. Walker became a full-time F1 commentator in 1978 and only hung up his microphone when he retired in 2001 after a 52-year broadcasting career. It’s with great sadness we share the news of the passing of BRDC Associate Member Murray Walker OBE.
