'Clearly the car overturned'

James May: "So does that mean he's not coming on the show then?"
Jeremy Clarkson: "No James he's been tossed of a hill and crumpled like a dead leaf"

1st thought: glad he's ok, 2nd thought: look forward to this becoming a running joke in season 2 as hamster loses every argument because of his second major crash, lol, get well soon hamster

[tomhunter]

Broken knee? I didn't know hamsters had knees...

[Ben_Mayall]

Series 1, James has a broken arm
Series 2, Richard has a fractured knee
Series 3, Jeremy will break/ fracture something?
Maybe this is all part of the series', it's a mystery

Seeing the thumbnail and video title I was seriously worried for Hamster!! ;o)

[ArcticAvenger]

He was a motoring show presenter once...
But then he took a Rimac to the knee

[SlothChunk]

Not only did he get to race a really nice car, but he got to go for a ride in a chopper as well. I'd say it was a good day.

[spikekent]

All the best Richard, glad it wasn't serious.

[rudybuitenzorg]

Does that mean Hammond is not coming on then?

[eerereps]

This is the best trailer for the Grand Tour season 2

Glad to hear he's relatively ok. That car is a beast. Probably the fastest production car theyve ever tested realistically; with the punch and torque vectoring of electric motors.
Hope we still see it on the show. I love this car!

[glanza]

my heart dropped as i read the title, not another car guy celebrity dead but then it said "injured" and i was so relieved

[seangillis]

Did he try driving in a straight line again?

[PoPpsychle]

Word of advice - never lend your car to Richard Hammond .

[orlandocardoso]

Be good fast Richard. Big hug from Portugal.

[jamesfisher]

Thank god there was no Kid's playing around that swing!
