  1. If this does indeed happen then i might tune into 5 live and listen to that commentary instead of James Allen wittering on and on.

  2. That would be lovely – Murray Walker is the best commentator I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to, and it will be a treat for relatively young people like me to hear how good he sounds on radio.

  3. Is there any way I can listen to Murry during or after races while living in the USA? I loved him in my F1 video game way back in the Playstation one days. But I have never been privileged to listen to him do an actual race. I wouldn’t mind rewatching a race just to hear his commentary. Any help would be appreciated but I know it will be hard as heck to stream him during a race. Thank you.

    1. He’s not doing live commentary during the races any more, so I’m afraid Youtube’s your best bet!

    2. Ahh yes…Youtube. I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you.
