Murray Walker, the voice of Formula One as a commentator on British television with a high-octane style, has died. He was 97.

Walker's broadcasting career spanned more than 50 years, working for the BBC and ITV before he retired from commentating in 2001.

Walker commentated on his first grand prix for the BBC in 1949 before going on to call Ayrton Senna's intense rivalry with Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell's 1992 title triumph. At the BBC, Walker was partnered by world champion James Hunt for 13 years before his death in 1993. The clash of personalities -- Walker a consummate professional compared to Hunt's more relaxed approach -- won over the public.
