Bye, Bye Murray Walker. Finnaly Formula 1 has let go of the once great Murray, The man of F1 comentary who has been doing it for 60+ years and still hasn't tires of it, Sunday commentary for F1 will never be the same again, for me anyway, i know Murray can make a few mistakes now and then where Martin Brundle has to correct him but every single F1 race theres Murray always with the same adrenalin rush to keep us going though those 70+ laps. All i want to say is thank you Murray for all your hard work over the years i have been watching Formula 1 and i hope we get someone as good as you to comentate. Also, Finnaly Michael Schumacher has been beaten and by Mika Hakkinen (by the way, if you dont know it was Mikas last race for a while, so thats quite an exit, isn't it?) who hasnt won in quite a while so well done to him!

Murray Walker was a truly inspired F1 commentator. He made mistakes but that is one of the things that made him great. He showed amazing enthusiasm even in the most tedious of races.

F1 needs another commentator like Murray Walker. James Allen is fine but with two people that are technically minded, it doesn't quite work. F1 needs someone who is not technically minded but has tremendous enthusiasm for the sport.

Murray Walker will be sorely missed. I will definately buy the Murray Walker tribute video, which there is bound to be.

Shame on you the man with the Turbo name. The Future of Gaming IS motor racing. Especially now that we are not allowed to do it on the streets any more.

I agree - Murray was the best.

If they had any sense they would get Ben Edwards.

IF they had any sense.


I was not aware that Mika had dropped out of Japan. Is Wurtz driving?

Can't you see hes a newbie Robin? Hes not initiated enough to be able to tell the difference between game related material an non game relate material. We must teach himn in the wise ways of the game.
