Murrey Walker is back!

Veteran Murray Walker will broadcast for Radio 5 live for the European Grand Prix on 22nd July. Although this will be a one off broadcast, it will be a welcome return for the F1 veteran.

Walker's been heralded as the 'voice of motorsport' and is legendary for his enthusiasm, excitement and occasional Murray-isms (mistakes).

83-year-old Murray comes out of retirement to host a special F1 radio phone in programme live from the Nurburgring after the Grand Prix. He's standing in for regular commentator David Croft, whose baby is due that weekend. We think ITV can expect most of their viewers to be watching on mute!
