Gutted a truly nice guy with a unique personality R I P

Like anyone of a certain age who watched or listened to motorsport it meant the voice of Murray Walker.
Sad to hear of his passing, as long as cars race he'll be remembered as F1's greatest commentator.

I voted Alpine and a close second would be the Aston then the Haas

Salvatore Sirignano · Mar 13, 2021

One of a group of legendary British gentlemen, the world is a worse place without the likes of Murray Walker and Stirling Moss.
I will never forget the August day in 2002 when, just having received a PS1, I went into Game to buy my brother a birthday present, F1 97, from the bargain bin, for £2.97. It was more of a present for me, because I have played it for thousands of hours since that day, accompanied by the voice of Murray Walker. No other commentator in F1 has come close to him.
A coincidence that he died at the gran old age of 97, what a life he led.

RIP

Cmon, you folks are down voting Merc because you want them to lose, not because the car looks bad. I do admit I liked it better last year.

Nah, the weird red bits screw it up like the green does the (otherwise gorgeous) Ferrari. Coulda been a contender...

The old boy was a genius with words, I will miss him.

Tarmac Terrorist · Mar 13, 2021

Just heard on the news.

He was and always will be, for me, the voice of motorsport. I grew up listening to him, no one has ever quite made the racing sound as exciting as he did (especially if you were listening on the radio and could'nt actually see it). His enthusiasm for the sport knew no bounds. R(ace).I.P. Mr Walker!

Edward Gonzales · Mar 13, 2021

Sad news, he represented his country and formula one with class. He will be remembered as great member of the Grand Prix community. I couldn't look back on some of the great moments in F1 without without his voice. God bless and rest well!

The Mclaren is "grandma getting out of the bath tub " Ugly!!!

Not at all, it's just hideous. I liked the silver base, and the black base, but having two base colors and two accent colors looks like a mess. If that wasn't bad enough, you throw on that disgusting swarm of AMG stickers. It looks like a 12 year old's first livery attempt in forza.

A life well lived...Murray.

nicky stevenson · Mar 13, 2021

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of much loved Formula One and motorsport commentator Murray Walker today, aged 97.

Known by almost everyone as the voice of Formula One racing, Graeme Murray Walker OBE was without doubt one of the most distinctive, loved and admired sports commentators in broadcasting, lending his iconic tones to Formula One coverage full time from 1978 until his retirement at the conclusion of the 2001 racing season.

Known for his lovable enthusiasm and the occasion hilarious 'Murrayism', Walkers style behind the microphone was once described by Australian comedian Clive James as "even at his quietest, he sounds as if his trousers are on fire", such was the enthusiastic and engaging tones Murray Walker could bring to even the most processional of races.

Murray Walker began his career in advertising (Walker devised the "Opal Fruits, made to make your mouth water." slogan), following retirement from Military service as a Royal Scots Greys Captain. In 1948 he made his debut in live motorsport broadcasting at the Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb, before performing radio broadcasting duties at the 1949 British Grand Prix - the year before the sport morphed into the Formula One we know today.

Loved by generations of motorsport fans, Murray Walker will forever be known as 'Mr. Motorsport' thanks to his enviable ability to bring the joy, passion and excitement into the living rooms of families throughout the world.

He will be missed, but he'll live forever on YouTube and in our memories.

you who put the McLaren mdr the worst colours that can be there, orange and blue...it's a blind man who made the mix or they will lose a bet?

I've heard the color described as Butterscotch or perhaps Apricot, Papaya. But the Orange, at least, is a traditional color of the company. Mclaren reverted to the Orange when it seemed like 3 or 4 teams all previewed Black liveries. Give me ANY color but black when being viewed on television. Up close in a perfectly lit display??? Shiney black works, but the point of a livery is instant recognition of fast moving objects. Mclaren's choice of ... Mandarin??? It does stand out!
