Word from a friend in the UK who was watching News 24:

quote:

Ive just been watching News 24, he has sustained significant brain injury but they are "reasonably optimistic" that he'll make a "good recovery"

quote:

The doctor treating Hammond announced on September 21 that he has a "significant brain injury". It also became clear that Hammond's co-presenter James May was originally supposed to be driving the car.

Not exactly. No disrespect to Richard, but Steve was a 'world leader' in his field. Richard is a journalist who gets to drive fast cars. The level of training the two had, was not equal.

THis is really sad news

I cant say how much I have thourally enjoyed his tv personallity on probably one of my favourtite shows. I dont watch a lot of television, but I have seen every episode of Top gear and this news breaks my heart.

Best wishes go out to him from me and gear heads everywhere.

poor Richard. He is so adorable too.. aww. hope he gets better so I can see him race bikes again

ORKO - Richard Hammond is a pretty talented driver too. His first career was a journalist, yes. He is soooo much more than that now.

Vehicles he owns : A left-hand drive Porsche 911, two Land Rovers, a Suzuki GSXR1000, a BMW 1150 GS, a second Porsche 911, a Porsche 928, a Morgan V6 Roadster, a 1967 Ford Mustang and several kit cars

Not bad eh...

"You are virtually the ring leader, the way I see it."
Then, I blew out the candle.
