Hunt Sr enjoyed a firm friendship with legendary commentator Murray Walker

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.
