After Hunt died, former F1 driver Jonathan Palmer (Pit reporter for BBC F1) joined Walker in the commentary box until the end of 1996, though in others such as 3 Time World Champion Jackie Stewart took the role as Walker's partner for the 1993 British Grand Prix and World Champion Alan Jones took the role as Walker's partner for the "fly away" race in Australia at the end of the season, both requested by Nine's Wide World of Sports (an alliance of BBC to give out in Australia).
