I still miss Murray. I'm sure we all do, to a certain extent. And if you think he makes mistakes, at least he makes them the funny way. Nowadays we here get Steve Slater & Chris Goodwin, and believe me, more than half the time they mistakenly identify the driver. Sometimes (make that usually) it's better to turn off the sound.

Murray was annoying. You may find all his mistakes and lack of ability to really call a race funny, but for others it was just frustrating. Some of us want to know what happens in the race, not in Murray's ancient head


Murray brought enthusiasm and excitement in to it, and his mistakes were part of that. James Allan...oh boy. He is not fine, he absolutely stinks. I remember a race last year with Allen and Mark Blundell comentating as Martin Brundle was away. It was truly awful! 2 boring men with boring voices (although at least Blundell knew what he was on about)

I always enjoyed Murray when I heard him.

Jackie Stweart was good for ESPN... it sounded like he was at home watching on TV & yelling down the phone.

Varsha/Hobbs was not bad, Hobbs is funny. Didn't care for Diffey.

Worst: Chris Economaki. Ugh. I'll also mention Paul Page as being awful even though I don't think he called F1.
