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.

Nikita Mazepin has created a new wave of criticism after he deleted an apology he made in the wake of posting a deplorable video on social media.
Haas boss Guenther Steiner did say he would have his work cut out with one of his new drivers for 2021 and that is already proving to be the case without him even stepping inside their Formula 1 car.
The 21-year-old Russian was widely condemned for uploading a video on Instagram which showed him groping a woman in the back of a car, a video which he deleted.
