Who that actually watched this race when it happened would have guessed that Murray would commentate for 32 more years. Murray is and always will be the best F1 commentator to ever live.

Gives me goosebumps every time I see that clip.

definitely Murray, the man's timeless, there's even a little one of his gaffes in there, he thinks it's Rindt (2) outbraking Stewart at the Parabolica but it's Beltoise (22) instead. Leading at the last corner at Monza in those days you were virtually guaranteed not to win

Damn, why the hell can't f1 of today give us a finish like this?
No wonder I like the classic f1 days

It is Murray Walker. It's a clip taken from a program called Grand Prix 500 made by the BBC in 1994 to celebrate the 500 Grand Prixs that had been held. Murray had a series of "Murray's moments" for each decade, he chose his favourite races. I think that piece of film uses the TV pictures that might have had a different commentator originally (Raymond Baxter) but now with Murray's original BBC radio commentary over the top.

From Wikipedia. "Walker made his debut in 1949 alongside Max Robertson."
Anyone who has any doubt that Murray is the voice on that clip needs their head, or possibly ears examined.
Epic stuff. "AND IT'S ALMOST A DEAD HEAT! ITS JACKIE STEWART, RINDT, BELTOISE, AND MCLAREN! NOBODY AHS EVER SEEN THE FINSIH OF A MOTOR RACE LIKE THIS!" You gotta love Murray. If there was only some way he could be kept alive for ever. Thats a great quote but doesnt quite beat 1997 Hungary for me...."IM COMING THROUGH! AND DAMON HILL LEADS!!!!!!!!!! OH BOY THIS IS FANTSATIC! Murray just looses all composure when it came to damon.

That is MOST DEFINITELY Murray Walker. Not only does it sound like him, he's been commentating on racing since WW2.
