RIP Murray. Grew up with his commentary and one of the reasons I loved F1. He just had the perfect voice for it.

No, I didn't realise that either. That's a shame. A real voice of sport, and forever etched in my mind as F1.

A true legend. Cheerio.
Absolutely
As a kid getting up at 5-6am to watch Suzuka or Adelaide with Mansell and Senna duelling it out in the early 90’s with Murray and James Hunt was where F1 began for me.
Then Supporting Damon Hill in the mid 90’s With Murray’s immortal commentary as he finally won the big one
This is me as well. What memories of Murray and James, then Martin. Absolute legend and one so ingrained in my life. RIP Murray.

His voice was so recognisable.
I like many of you, was not aware of his age.
F1 was not the same after Murray.

My dad couldn't stand him but it's clear the era of such passion and charisma in the commentary box for F1 ended with him. Very fond memories as a child, feel privileged to have experienced F1 with him.
Recall the Beyond The Grid interview was very good:

97 is a good innings, it was just his time to Go Go Go.
RIP the voice, the legend.
