On October 10th, Formula 1 celebrates the sounds that shaped its soul.
It’s the birthday of Murray Walker, the legendary broadcaster whose enthusiasm and “Murrayisms” made him the unmistakable voice of Formula 1. We trace his journey from early motorcycle commentaries to the BBC and ITV years that defined generations of fans — and his fiery on-air partnership with James Hunt, the 1976 World Champion who traded his helmet for a microphone.
That same day in 1976, Hunt scored a crucial victory at Watkins Glen, taking pole, fastest lap, and the win to close the title gap to Niki Lauda — a performance that showed the cool precision beneath his playboy image.
And forty-five years later, at the 2021 Turkish Grand Prix, Formula 1’s voice had evolved — now heard through radio chatter, live strategy calls, and instant global commentary, yet still echoing the same passion that Murray and Hunt once shared.
Join us as we turn up the volume on The Voices That Told F1’s Story — from roaring DFVs to crackling team radios, and from Murray’s microphone to the modern media era.
