I feel that Martin and Ted are people who are carrying the spirit of Murray
Yh they are super humble but they will be both remembered as greats of formula one media
Davide Valsecchi as well because of how excitable he is on commentary
Ted most definitely. Like Murray, he’s an excited fan first, journalist second
Very much agree
They feel even more entrenched in the life of Murray as both Martin and Ted had privilege of working alongside voice of Formula 1.
RIP Murray Walker
I live in the village only a few minutes from Murrays home, and often saw him out and about in real life. And he was a true gentleman to little kids who recognised him, old fashioned ladies first, holding doors open, and on a personal level, as being disabled and having mobility issues, he would step aside and give me an encouraging nod and smile.
For a world wide sports celebrity he was an unassuming, classic english gent in his local comunity, and never carried airs or graces. As a local figure, by god i will miss the man.
this was nice to read. thanks for sharing.
I went through hall green numerous times and I knew it was the birth place not only for Murray Walker but also joe lycett also lives here and both were born 65 years apart
I’m 74 years younger than he is and I live on the otherside of Birmingham
Also - I would like to thank Ted and Martin - they have done a great job of doing this clip. must have been hard to do but bring a massive smile on their faces at the same time. GG. actually brought a tear to my eye.
I'm 42 and grew up with Murray calling Senna - Prost and "Our Nige." Then onto Schumi, Hill and co..
It's weird but it feel like we've lost a family member.
@@fingersTitan we did mate
Same it's sad to see a legend die
Well said, my friend 👍
@@connormenezes6345 Legends never die RIP Murray
What an absolute legend. On my 11th birthday sleepover we got up at 5am to watch hill win in suzuka 96... Murray's commentary struck me even then. RIP ❤
i love these stories - this is what Murray stood for - getting people to enjoy the sport he loved so much.
I was 16. Did the exact same thing. I remember it like it was yesterday. What a day!
I got up for it too! A great day!
Spa 98 in that GP... imagine what he'd have done with Canada 2011, a race that was even more eventful than that one for commentary!
Yep I was only aware of just how good he was when I got a little older, as I was a similar age and just assumed it was always that high standard. But Murray made it!
Met him in Montreal, getting coffee- showed him my Gilles tattoo- still remember him saying - Oh Dear God.
Murray Walker was the greatest, but we are lucky to have Martin and Ted, two incredible professionals and worthy successors to the master.
Martin is our Murray now, just in a different way, but he will be remembered as fondly in the future
Couldn’t agree more. There have been plenty of Martinisums... “he’s got slim to no chance of winning and Slim is out of town”
@@lloydpennington10 “He’s a day late and a dollar short!”
"Straight to the scene of the accident"
@@Danielmullen1996 "thats had a chat with the wall"
I met him at Thruxton, I'm a nobody, but he had time for me, he just loved to talk about motor-racing, a true legend and a brilliant man.
28:07 "God, he was 2 in 2001, ain't that depressing. Kids these days"
100% he should have been SIR Murray Walker
He was awarded an OBE
@@zanemurcha9742 What is an OBE? Nothing much.
If Hamilton can get a knighthood, why not Walker?
@Scott W Frijns well if an overrated racing driver gets knighted why not the best commentator of all time
@@ciaranmcguinness8900 damn someone’s crying 💀. So everyone he beat is also overrated? Nice logic
Indeed it should. it's disgraceful that Ham gets one and Murray didn't. He's done 1000x more for F1 than Ham ever did.
Always love Ted’s notebook, my favourite part of each week’s coverage. Thank god it’s back 🙌🏼
You can hear the emotion in their voices. The feeling we all have, even though we only knew him through television. We were blown from our socks, imagine how hard it must have been for them ... Thank you Murray for what you have done for all of us. Thank you Martin and Ted (and the entire SkyF1 crew) for your hard work too.
RIP, one and only, such a energetic style, even if there wasn't much action going on, Murry`s commentary would make up for it, such a rich life, legend.
Peter Allis=Golf, John motson=Football, Murray Walker=Motor racing, Theres always one commentators voice over others you associate with a sport in your lifetime and Murray was it for me when it came to Formula 1, This is nice and a great tribute to a true legend, considering he worked for the BBC for twenty years you have to do some scrolling on there website to read anything about his passing, i guess old news moves on very fast.
Bill McLaren: Rugby
Harry Carpenter: Boxing
MTB: Rob Warner
MMA: Joe Rogan 😊
Allis can do one, mysogonist idiot constantly picking out people in the crowd and taking the piss, missing putts in ryder cups, deplorable man.
This is absolutely fantastic. Two awesone pros discussing an absolute legend. Epic TV.
It's poetic that Murray passed the torch to Martin where he also has become a legendary commentator in his own right.
0:45 "We've lost him, bless him" and the black armbands. Sleep well, Murray...you've earned a good rest 😥😢😭😭😭😭😭😭🥰🥰
What a touching tribute to Murray. I met him at the Australian GP in Adelaide in 1987. The guy had nothing but time for the fans and was so generous and a true gentleman.
Anyone who got the opportunity to meet and speak to Murray Walker is what I would call a lucky basted 🤣 not jealous, just saying. Ok maybe a little 🤨
Thanks for that beautiful tribute to Mr Murray Walker. Glad it was done by Ted and Martin. Have similar thoughts of both of you as I had for Murray. A pleasure to listen to!
His passion and enthusiasm were absolutely contagious. He'll always be the unequivocal voice of F1. RIP Murray
The voices of my Youth are all slowing passing away, Muarry Walker and Sid Waddell are two people voices I'll always miss but never forget.
R.I.P Murray Walker
I met Murray once in a supermarket.. had about half hour chat about F1 and he asked me what I thought about Seb vettel, I said I guess he is ok and Murry said keep an eye on him he will be the next world champion. Winter 2010. 👌🏻 so great full that he chatted to a complete stranger about F1. He made my year. I will always remember that.
A voice of a my childhood watching F1. An absolute legend, RIP Murray
Martin and Ted are just fan boys. And it's wonderful. For me Murray was like the BBC F1 intro, F1.
3:33 mentioned Johnny Dumfries who has also just sadly passed away about a week after Murray
That really was the nicest tribute. Thanks guys.
I cant even see what im typing though the tears, on this day every year im gonna watch a classic GP in honour of our good friend . LOVE YOU MURRAY .
I’ve watched a few over the last couple of weeks & still he’s the greatest
@@Jafmasterflash I wish he and Lando were interviewing right now & always will be F1's audio bible.
I was so heartbroken when I found out about Murray’s death, I will always remember him for his commentary style.
I remember the “Ayr-ton” Senna moment. 2 great men now reunited in heaven. Bless them
Thank you Ted and Martin, just what we all needed, a warm rememberance of a great man, who felt like a friend to so many of us that never met him. Thanks for the memories Murray
Murray Walker was before my time as I started watching F1 in 2007 (which sucks) but what an awesome "Ted's Notebook" once again! So many legends leaving the world!
same here, I was too late for the Murray era but it’s still great hearing these guys talk about someone they took inspiration from
You guys really missed out. Highly suggest looking through youtube for his best moments
I missed his almost childlike excitement during commentary, F1 was never the same for me after he retired and that marked the start of my move away from that part of motorsport...
What a lovely and special tribute! ❤️❤️
Not just ‘The Voice of Formula 1’ but one of the most iconic and greatest ever commentators the world has ever seen! ❤️
RIP Murray Walker. 😢😥❤️🎙🏎
I remember at 13 I was having a horrid time, I had no friends, no motivation and no interest in anything. Then i randomly put on a grand prix. Think it was France in 95, there in 90 minutes I got hooked due to Murray Walkers enthusiasm .
25 years on, I am still hooked. I never met Murray Walker but he came across as a genuine, honest human being and in some ways helped me gain a passion for a sport that has not gone. As Martin says I wish we could just say Sir Murray and I really hope in Bahrain in 2 weeks we get an appreciation there.
And utter legend and gentleman. He will be missed. Rest in peace Murray.
I had a great time watching this and a bit of a laugh at some moments. Murray Walker shouldn't be mourned in death but celebrated as a legend. We will miss you mate
I'm sure something is already being planned for Silverstone, but as a thought, there's going to be a race there which doesn't have a name or trophy... how about the "Murray Walker Trophy" for the winner of the sprint race? It would be something unique and a great way to honour someone who meant so much to so many.
I think they should name the Silvestone media centre after him.
Someone has already suggested that the British F1 Trophy should be re-named the Murray Walker Trophy
Two years later and this still reduces me to tears
I’m so glad you did this instead of talking about testing that is so insignificant to the history of motorsport when measured against what should have been Sir Murray Walker
One of the best loved commentators of f1 RIP Murray walker up with the legends
97 is a great age. He was a very good egg!
The British g.p. this year Should be Dedicated to him, in the TITLE of the race. Ground Swell Please.
That is an excellent idea👍
@@martindunstan8043 The Murray Walker O.B.E. Memorial F1 Grand Prix. Name the un-named "s" murray's madness- the confusion corners.
Yes 10000% !
@@martindunstan8043 pass it on to as many as you can.
@@tommyjesshop6772 pass it on let's make it happen.
Massive credit for doing this instead of the normal notebook! The man is a living legend and is a big part in what got me into f1!
Lovely tribute to Murray Walker, of which I'm sure there are many more to come.
Now Martin has to correct Crofty on which car is which
That’s still hilarious 🤣
It was so entertaining Murray's Mistake's ;) LOL
Yep ahaha, both carrying on the legacy of Murray :)
If you are on the air for so long, you will commit mistakes. It’s part of it...
What a legend Murray Walker was. Can't believe it's 20 years since he last commentated, but great to hear he was so sharp until the end.
I couldn’t think of two better men to pay tribute to Murray
This is the single greatest piece of film you're ever going to produce, Sky-F1. Massive credit to Ted and Brundle. Thanks guys.
quick edit: I kind of know this is all Theodore's doing. God I love you mate.
What a great person. He enjoyed ever single aspect of the sport. The people, the engineers, the fans, EVERYONE. He loved passing his passion on to others.
I was always a big BTCC fan from very young - so for me, thats what i remember the most.
But also as a massive F1 fan and Motorbike fan - I love the fact he followed club level races - all the way up to the top.
He could spot a talented driver from 1000 miles away. Yet would travel the country to follow them and see how well they did every weekend.
He really is British Motorsport from club level to world champion. I will really miss him.
Thank you Murray.
Ted having an existential crisis about Lando being 2 in 2001
😂😂👍
that also gave me existential crisis even though i wasn't even born in 2001 lol, that line reminds me that im almost 20 now. ain't that depressing, kids these days
Damn i was -0.5 when he stopped commentating,but ive watched many seasons and races from the past,i rly think Murray was a legend
Murray respect from the Netherlands. Thx for your superb commentary
Remember in the early 80s watching F1 early in the morning in Australia with my dad. I was 6 or 7, loving it. Legend, will be missed, always remembered, forever loved
At 97, he had a good run.
when I was on motorcycling weekly Murray called me up just before he was moving from his London home. He had loads of magazines and race programmes in the loft. He gave the lot to us... over three van loads and it even included some of the stuff his dad had collected. He was a truly great man and he will be sadly missed.
This brought a tear to my eyes. Hell not just one , many.
Even though I never got to listen to his commentary I still am saddened about this because I knew about his passion for Motorsport and my dad absolutely loved his commentary with hunt and he will forever believe he was the best commentator in F1 history
Wonderful tribute, I'm sure Murray would love it. Hoping for a "Murray Walker" week on Sky F1 at some point, although you can't really choose which ones to include as he was epic every single time.
watched this with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye...RIP Murray, thanks for all the memories throughout those mid 80s long hot summers and all the excuses for not doing my homework in the 90s ☺️
Legend. for as long as i can and will remember this man is entrenched as part of my memory of Formula 1.
Rest Easy Sir.
Oh how wonderful what a really lovely tribute thanks Martin and Ted that was great 😊
You guys really did such a fantastic tribute for Murray Walker there, so many incredible memories of an absolutely incredible person, a true legend of Formula 1 and life itself in general at that too!👍👏
They really dude do a great job to the memories of Murray Walker, he was/is a legend
The man used to give me goosebumps with excitement saying things the way he said them, RIP Murray
RIP Murry The one and only Purveyor of Motorsport we all grew up with
Rip murry you were the best even when you retired you still had it
I cannot imagine how hard this must of been for the pair of them. But they did a great job of giving us some great memories of Murray Walker. He (Murray) had an amasing life decades of being a great commentator in F1 and many other racing series. I hope that all the drivers dedicate the first race of the season to his memory. R.I.P Murray Walker.
I won't lie. When I first saw the black case with the iPad on top - my heart went a bit then realised it wasn't how it first appeared.
I thought the same thing.⚰
He has been very much missed for years. He was very much enjoyed in australia. He came down for clipsal 500 many times and also Bathurst.
'Isn't that Ron Dennis' Martin does a Murray- ism..What a moment 👍🏻😂
So many great memories of watching F1 with Murray commentating. One of my personal favourites was a scene with Hakkinen making a pass on someone. The pass was replayed immediately and Murray says “and Hakkinen passes him AGAIN!!!” To which Martin said “it’s a replay Murray” flatly.
Only Murray could make a mistake like that so endearing. Martin was also a gentleman as the straight man to Murray’s over the top, speak before you think style of enthusiasm.
Murray's retired the year I was born in 2001 but from my grandfather i heard a lot about him. In my grandfather's archives of old race videos I heard him, and I can say only one thing physically he is dead but he is and would be alive till eternity in the memories of his admirers.
Rip a legend has gone to heaven. 🙏
Man I just got a major dose of nostalgia when I saw the old BBC sign. And man what a voice Murray Walker had. Its sad that a legend has gone but he lived a fantastic life most of us wish for
With Murray Walker the loss feels personal, for millions. God bless him.
When this cut to Ted outside the McLaren garage, it suddenly hit me that Murray's actually left us. It's difficult to register that someone with such energy, enthusiasm and positivity can pass on. He'll always be with the sport but it'll never be quite the same.
2001 was the worst year of my life knowing that i would never hear murray on any form of motorsport
but to know that i will never hear him again is a bigger kick to nut sack
god bless you SIR and thank you for making notice motorsport 2 and 4 wheel
I can say I think with confidence, without Murray Walker, F1 would not be what it is today.
He brought it to millions with his enthusiasm, his friendly attitude to everyone, and his general appeal to absolutely everyone.
He deserves a trophy for best spirited driver each year, best character.
He deserves to be remembered every year.
o7 Rest in Peace Murray! (and thanks to Ted and Martin for this obituary)
Great tribute guys ! I'll never forget Murray interviewing Nigel Mansell @ Brands and poking the lump on Mansell's head after he hit the bridge, lol
Thanks guys, from a 53 year old who watched Murray laid in front of the telly as a kid, he got me into club racing, I'm sure when he walked through the pearly gates, God bowed his head 😢😢😢🙏 Rip Murray ❤❤
Grew up as a kid in the 70s watching f1 , hearing Murray walker and James hunt ,,! Born 23rd May 1968 from northern Ireland UK,! RIP !
I only caught the final 2 years of Murray's career my Dad always had F1 on the TV Sundays when it was on free TV, I was 4 then 5 years old and even then Murray's voice was very distinctive and oozed excitement to me, and his voice was a large part of my childhood with the PS1 Formula 1 game we had, I think it was Formula One 99 but I always looked forward to hearing "Go, Go, Go" at the start of each race. R.I.P Murray, thank you 🏁
I remember finding this commentator excited about something, he made me watch and listen, and I have a lifetime of joy from it.
Thanks boys a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable Murray .
My earliest memories are his commentary for motorbike scrambling on BBC Grandstand in the early 60's in the days of Arthur Lampkin and Dave Bickers ! Happy days ! RIP Murray ,a job well done !
Thank you, guys. Watched through misty eyes.
I'm honestly so happy that a passionate, friendly and down-to-earth guy like Murray got to live his long life fulfilling his dreams and work with his passion. He lived a great life and we should celebrate that. Rest in peace Murray Walker.
What an amazing tribute, thank you
Murray Walker was just the best. He will be missed fans the world over. Absolute Legend!
Absolutely superb tribute to Murray. Thank you for sharing these amazing memories, Well done guys!
So daddy I hear of his passing. One of the voices of my youth, thank you for the memories Murray.
What a wonderful personal tribute to a great man - thank you
Brilliant Notebook. Wonderful testimony to dear Murray, and great round up of Day 3 testing.
I like how happy Lando seemed when he found out he was on the notebook!!
Sad to see the pic of Jonny Dumfries who also passed recently.
Oh man, "that's not the programme we have for you tonight" - almost verbatim how Steve Rider introduced the 'highlights' of Imola '94. Good touch, really conveys the gravity of Murray's passing. So sad, he was so unerringly joyful.
lovely words by martin and ted who are also forging their own partnersip legend status...
Well said gentlemen. Met Murray when he signed my copy of his autobiography. He spent time talking to every single person there despite the attempts to speed things up.
As you said he wanted to know about you. What your thoughts of the current F1 were. He was more interested in that than telling you about himself.
Well chaps a lovely tribute to Murray. FANTASTIC!
This is such a wholesome video. So, so many stories to tell that can't help bring joy to people. You can tell the level of respect he received from his peers, but also how much he meant to them and the happiness he brought them. Few like him.
Lovely tribute to Murray, I always loved his passion for the sport and he always seemed like a genuinely nice person.
