Murray Walker was truly THE voice of Formula 1. Even though he was error prone at times, his passion and love of Formula 1 always shone through in his commentary.
Bless you Murray 
Such sad news about Murray. The world is a greyer place tonight. He was the voice of F1. His infamous partnership with James Hunt, his tribute when Damon Hill won the title in 1996. So many memories. Rest in peace. x
My two favourites I feel sad for anyone who missed his commentary it really was something special

i’m on episode 5 i think? just finished the ferarri episode
I have watched the first four. So far, really enjoying it.
Just finished Gaslys episode! It’s really good, though my eyes hurt from binge watching the first 5 episodes last night
it's absolutely disgusting the way Mercedes treat Bottas. The race he won where Hamilton got a penalty for the practice start on the wrong part of the track was appalling. Toto stomped off in a huff and when Valterri went back to celebrate with the team after the podium everyone had gone! WTF. Let's face it, we've all known they see him as driver number 2 but this episode proves it. I hope he kicks Lewis a this season.
I will just copy my rant here.
I absolutely admire Toto for his business sense and his look. But the way he lets Hamilton force his wokenes on the team, I feel like maybe Toto lost his power. He can't handle 2 strong drivers, someone that would challange Hamilton.
Everyone knew that Hamilton's practice start was against the rules. It was absurd that a team like Mercedes even let Hamilton try that start at all.
Bottas is the no. 2. Plain and simple. Toto got proper aggy with the "duck you" comments early on.
Mercedes might claim to have equal drivers, but we all know that's balls. Lead driver in the championship becomes de facto no.1 driver, and when you've got a driver as consistent as Hamilton in the team. It's basically guaranteed to always be him.
Bottas is a good driver, but not a great. He will never be able to match/beat Hamilton consistently, whether that's based just on ability or team politics inherently favouring Lewis I can't say, probably a mix of both.
Though I'm sick.of his pissy, moody, spit his dummy out weekends he often has. He comes across as petulant. I really wouldn't have minded him retiring after 2020. Here's hoping after 2021 and George finally gets his chance.
Episode 3 showed me a few things that I almost sort of knew.
Bottas is a lovely gent and quite sensitive
BotASS was quite bold but I was pre warned so it wasn't a shock to see
Lewis acts like a petulant child when he doesn't get his way
Toto is great until Lewis is mentioned
1st/2nd driver being debunked is absolute balls

So I am going to be in the minority being a Lewis fan, but don’t you think he has earned the right to be the number one driver at Mercedes? In my mind, it is no different from Max at Red Bull as they have clearly built the team around him and he (Max) has seen three number two drivers come and go.
I don’t think Bottas is consistent / has made some mistakes although I do not agree with idiots sending him abusive messages. When Bottas came into the team, Lewis had already won 2 titles with Mercedes so it was going to be hard for him to become the no 1 driver ahead of Lewis.
I also think Toto is very shrewd and knew the “wingman” comment would rile Bottas and push him to be more aggressive on the track.
