the design shows a distinct lack of imagination,
talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol

It happened so quick he never stood a chance, I think he was lucky the car landed like it did, eventually tail in scrubbing off lots of speed.

That was one hell of an accident! To be back on television in about 4 months is amazing.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

I agree though. He wasn't quite right. I think that it will take a few shows (and a few big dinners!) to get him back properly.

Good on him!

did anyone else feel slightly awkward watching the few runs leading up to it?

I think they handled the situation well though.

noted that aswell, although clarkson is always a bit OTT almost in an embarasing parent kind of way *oh well*

least they said they'd never mention it again, i dont think richard will ever recover if they dont.

Some of the stuff he said before getting into the car was cringe- worthy, as we all knew what gonna happen next!

Great show and for something so controversial they handled it spot.

Found on the net: (bit harsh i reckon but who knows what actually happened!)


But in The Sun yesterday, the car's owner suggested Hammond was partly to blame for the crash by "failing to adhere to the briefing".

"Mr Hammond had a puncture and carried on with the tyre deflated," Colin Fallows said, adding that Hammond "stood on the brakes" after the blow-out.

"Once these cars are in motion, you don't touch the brakes," Mr Fallows said. "You stay on the prescribed line and should always be aware of the unexpected."

The footage of the crash was shown for the first time when Top Gear's first show in a new series aired in Britain on the BBC at the weekend.

Hammond suffered brain injuries in the crash at Elvington airfield, in York, last September as he tried to break the British land speed record.
