MURRAY WALKER will remain a Formula One hero for the ages, says the son of perhaps his most unlikely companion.
The cool and concise former world champion James Hunt formed a legendary commentary duo with the enthusiastically breathless fan favourite Walker throughout the 1980s.
Memories of their iconic escapades, and rocky start, were brought back when Murray passed away at the age of 97 earlier this year.
On Sunday, F1 will remember one of its own with a touching tribute on the British Grand Prix winners’ trophy.
And Freddie Hunt, one of two sons of James – who died of a heart attack in 1993 – is comforted that both men are well remembered by the sport and its fans.
