Rip richard hammond

>hamster is two and a half feet tall
>car is half the height of hamster

this is getting rediculous

Literally thought motorsport was banned in Switzerland

>electric car crashes
>turns into a fire ball

wew

no there alot of mountain races. race TRACKS arent allowed

Hope he's okay.

>all electric
Nothing of value was lost

Does this mean he's not coming on?

lol

kek

I hope they actually make this joke.

That's actually him, wew lad.
First time I've seen a "RIP" person and they were actually involved (he ain't dead tho)

He was apparently conscious when they airlifted him to hospital though.

Pretty shocking turn of events

this happens to non-electric cars regularly

the joke is that gas burns and electric cars dont have gas in them, user.

they have highly flammable batteries

I see what you did there, and I appreciated reading it.

Hammonds next test drive

but they both contain a lot of flammable objects and produce a lot of heat

there's nothing special about a car crash resulting in a fire

Dammit hamster
This better become a joke on the show
>Hamster is forbidden from driving anything with less than a 5star safety rating
>40mph speed limit
>full racing gear
>racing harness
>swimming wings
>ambulance following him at all times, even outside the car
Could make for a good throwaway joke at least.
Or fuck make a season of it

>lvl 99 autism detected

...

>Shortly

With the jews from amazon it will definitely happen. If it would've happen with bbc they would've stayed quiet.

He needs to stay alive first.

wtf? so if im some swiss billionaire with tons of land and want to put my private motorsport track onto it, i cant?

but ahmed can legally rape my wife?

Seems this is the crash

>implying The Hamster hasn't reached immortality

>no crash barrier

Third world country tier.

Damn, Hammond and Batman dead on the same day. That sucks.

>>no crash barrier
>Third world country tier.

They're not needed in areas where people can actually drive well

Maybe he shouldn't drive anything anymore. Holy shit.

>expecting the Swiss to plaster every mountain road (and therefore nearly every road, period) with barriers just for the one time a year they race cars up them

>leave a like for pray

The Swiss are notoriously bad at driving. Going from Vorarlberg into St Gallen is an eye opener.

>We would like to honour Hammond in our own way
>By driving him to his funeral
>In London traffic
Queue Clarkson looking frustrated in bumper to bumper traffic.

Grand Tour twitter just stated he'll survive.

>get distracted or bumped from behind
>roll downhill because the Swiss are too cheap to install the most basic and effective safety measure that you can put on a road

Yep

That car brand's reputation is probably going to go into the shitter now

>He can't keep getting away with it

I meant

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4591508/Richard-Hammond-airlifted-hospital-horror-crash.html
>Crash at 288mph
>Make a full recovery after 5 weeks
How?
I don't know how fast he was going this time but it says he just scraped his knee or something
This guy is both incredibly unlucky and lucky

...

Stewart Lee is the saltiest comedian on the planet.

>The cause of the crash is unknown and being investigated.
Here's your investigation. He went into that curve too fast and started sawing on the wheel like a goddam chimpanzee on meth. Case closed.

>The 47-year-old, who sustained brain injuries after a 288mph rocket car accident in 2006, is being treated in hospital after flipping a £2million electric supercar which then burst into flames as he filmed his new Amazon show The Grand Tour.
But he has miraculously escaped the fireball horror with little more than a fractured knee and was 'conscious and talking' after freeing himself from the vehicle.
Fuck off faggot

>getting distracted in a race
>getting bumped in a timed race, not a mass start

BAN ASSAULT CARS

>crash vid
>camera fag loses shot at the good part
Every fucking time

You do realize that roads are not used exclusively for racing and that regular cars can also go downhill, right?

inb4 electric cucks btfo because the car went wrong

If I didn't know better I'd swear he did that shit on purpose.

>too fast
>on brakes hard
>twitches right, loses grip on rear
>yanks it left and would've spun out but no room
>goes off edge

Why the fuck is Hammond such a bad driver?

>Ran a Ferrari into a bollard in Spain
>Drove into a ditch in Africa
>Ran straight into the back of a vehicle instead of swiping it in the cars for teens challenge
>Flipped a van on its side going around a corner
>Crashed driving a dragster in a straight line

And now he crashed an electric car on a mountain road.

I'm sure there are several more that I missed, too.

>All this advertising in the pic before it says he's alright

wtf?

Who gives a shit, the show is shit, he's shit.

For fuck's sake, hamster, stop crashing things.

hampster now rides with guest stars on their way to the show.

Thanks, Satan.

That's what happens when you sell your soul to reality TV

Are you daft? They're giving some context so people still aren't asking a million questions. If the statement just said "Hammond was in a crash today but he's alright" twitter, Reddit, etc would all be questioning "OMG Why are they saying so little!? What are they hiding!?"

...

He's getting older, probably thinks his reactions are as good as they were 5 years ago.

Combine that with instant torque of an electric car with no engine braking and you're rolling around with laughter.

KEK

What cars were the other guys racing?

kek

>getting in a croatian car
for what purpose

>$2 million car totalled
Who pays for it now?
Richard?
Does the GT even have the budged to pay it off?

>Who pays for it now?
they're saving so much money from leaving the EU, that's peanuts

>Curb weight: 1850kg
WTF it weighs as much as an SUV, how???

Insurance

In shocking news, it turns out that batteries aren't light.

>Who pays for it now?
A very unlucky insurance company.

Only a fractured knee.
theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/jun/10/richard-hammond-car-crash-switzerland-the-grand-tour-top-gear

The Veyron weighs 1888 kg. A W16 with quad turbos ain't light either.

Is he immortal?

So far

>>Crashed driving a dragster in a straight line
Are you stupid, user? The dragster's front tire blew up which made him flip.

2m is nothing considering the marketing L rimac just took.
No one will buy these cars now. Unpredictable at high speed.

>Crashed driving a dragster in a straight line
easier than it sounds my dude

You try crossing a country offroad without driving into a single ditch.

Finally something that targets Lambo old market.

F

>No one will buy these cars now. Unpredictable at high speed.
???
i enjoy a good meme or two, but what makes you say that

The Veyron is also much bigger in size
This car is almost the same size as a Lotus

A celebrity crashed it and it burst into flames.
It's like the Carrera GT being forever tied to Paul Walker's death (even though that was mainly because of shit old tires, not necessarily the car) and that Zenvo which caught fire on Top Gear.

He took way too much speed into the corner that's all, you can see it in the video.

Not the car's fault but his

WHERE ARE HIS LEGS?!

>Carrera GT
>Zenvo
and that made a dent in the sales how?

I assume you havent seen more photos of richard hammond

All Carrera GTs were already sold and Zenvo sold hardly anything at all in the first place, so I'm guessing not much.
Still, that Rimac will forever be "that electric supercar that Richard Hammond crashed and burst into flames".
