Sir Jackie Stewart has said “there will never be another Murray Walker” following the death of the legendary Formula One commentator.
The passing of Walker aged 97, whose remarkable broadcasting career spanned more than half a century, was announced on Saturday evening.
Walker’s unique, high-octane style will forever be ingrained in British sporting culture.
McLaren, Britain’s most successful F1 team, said on Twitter: “Like millions of F1 fans, all of us at McLaren are deeply saddened by the news that Murray Walker has passed away.
“He brought our sport to generations by sharing his passion and knowledge with humour and humility. Our thoughts are with all who had the fortune to know him.”
Current Williams driver George Russell tweeted: “The voice of F1 and a true legend of our sport. His legacy will forever live on. Rest in peace, Murray.”
