A celebration of the extraordinary life of legendary commentator Murray Walker, with tributes from key figures in Formula 1 and motorsport.

Murray Walker was the voice of Formula One, matching the thrill of the track with his equally fast-paced and exhilarating commentary, delivering the euphoria of motor racing to millions.

Commentating on his first grand prix for the BBC at Silverstone in 1949, Murray's broadcasting career spanned over fifty years. His natural warmth and infectious enthusiasm won great affection with audiences, whilst his passion and knowledge of motorsport allowed him to hone his instinctive presenting style into a craft.

When Murray passed away in March 2021, tributes came flooding in from every corner of the sporting world. This book, compiled by Murray's great friend and colleague Maurice Hamilton, celebrates the extraordinary life of this truly legendary man. With contributions from drivers and industry figures, and many friends from the world of motorsport and beyond, Incredible! combines fond memories, never-before-told stories and famous Murrayisms with reflections on the highlights of a life lived at full throttle.

Love the story and love the narration - it sounded like so much fun to do this book. Maurice Hamilton's impersonations of Murray Walker are perfect in every way and sounds very much like Mr. Walker. What a wonderful life Mr. Walker had and Mr. Hamilton has captured them all very well. I would highly recommend this book, not just to motor racing fans or fans of Mr. Walker, but to anyone, if only to learn how to be the type of genuine person Mr. Walker was.
