No shit really

Jajajajajajaj

Not really.

@@TheWatcher66 ur going to hell for that

Again

right,,i wondered where the hell he was going as he picked up speed going thru the finish line !

What a Muppet......

@@RobsMusicBox tbf tho, I think he was speeding as fast as possible to the finish line, and kept his foot down because even if you let go of the throttle just before the line it can cost you some time, and then the rimac accelerates so damn fast hammond just wasn't prepared for it and the next thing he knew he was coming up to the corner. He slammed the brakes on the car slid and yeah.. To be fair to hammond, that rimac accelerates so damn fast that from the finish like to the corner was probably like a couple of seconds if that.

@@MrHenhen5 that brake probably saved his life, crashed and drifted, if he kept on the floor he'd be a bird

Did he actually finish the track? Or it was finish because he crashed?

If there wasn’t a safety crew already on seen he would’ve burned alive.

that actually happened 1 month ago haha

Stop it😂😂😂😂

Nice one 😂

Richard Hammered

This comment is the highlight of my 2020

Richarred Hammondburger? Does that work?

Well James he just rolled down a 300 meter hill, his car is still on fire and he’s being taken away on a helicopter ambulance, so no he’s not coming on.

nice reference lol

🤣

@@ps1hagrid823 🤣

are you working for Rimac?.....

@@stratman9449 Nah. I found that info somewhere on a car website...

I honestly believe that, after something like this, there is no way they don't do that

"fun fact"

It was already pretty strong, they made it stronger apparently. Also, you don't get in bed with Bugatti without that level of nutty over engineering.

Absolutely! You can see it in his face, absolutely on edge and nervous

That's what 1200 hp in a vehicle that weighs more than a truck does to you, crazy amount of courage

Yes he looks shocked while driving an electric car. That's physics boi's

@@nikhilPUD01 🗿

Yeah, probably one of the few reasons why you see these hyper electric cars not do much racing just because of how much power they have, when they are shown to their extent, it's on straight roads with wide turns

👍🏻

The car became road legal because of the crash

@@randomvids1178 cool

And they found out its safe enough already to protect the driver in the event of such a horrific crash too. Talk about silver linings. Super glad Hammond was OK and that the company learned so much

@@hindae085 Not every day a car company gets crash data from an incident as specific as that. As you say, glad Hammond made it out.

😂😂

😂😂😂

Sure it's mors and mutual

Lmfao 🤣

How can we be of service?

Amen

Or he just can't drive.

If I'm not wrong you can actually see James right behind Hammond when they carry him to the helicopter

Yes, I did watch it several times and he was there when Richard was carried to helicopter

So many events in top gear and the grand tour when they are genuinely in trouble and the jokes just stop. You know they play up for the camera, of course they do. But when shit hits the fan. They get serious. They often talk about how they are friends, and yet at the same time they hate each other. Isn't that what best friends are?

Bro ofcourse they cared it was just scripted for them not to care because it’s funny and entertaining, but I bet on the day of the crash they were probably close to tears thinking they might lose Hammond

@@kylewebber9185 yes. I believe Clarkson and May stated something along the line of 'stopping the show altogether' if Hammond doesn't make it.

No need to curse

@@ahmads5889 are you from the discipline police ? Damn.

@@MelodicBlue perhaps

They cut to the camera in the car right after he flew off I think, but it died so it was just audio

@@ahmads5889 is see no cursing

It shouldn’t have happened it seems to me like Rimac is hiding something because if it got out that part of the car malfunctioned it would just destroy Rimac as a company, Richard said multiple times that he couldn’t get the car to slide then he said he didn’t know how it happened in this video, and it doesn’t seem like he’s doing anything that would cause him to crash other than a malfunctioning EV. Not that I blame Rimac for hiding it, it makes perfect sense.

@@griffins5655 there's a video of Richard and the guy from Rimac discussing it

@@Matt561 yeah I know I’ve watched it😅

Griffin Shankin it was a very sharp turn richard just entered the corner way too fast. A crash like that can happen too anyone especially when you are nervous like hammond was.

@@Swagmaster-si1he exactly he was accelerating when the car was trying to break.

Thanks for the subtitles. It was nearly the end of the world

this is the accurate one "We had to get that clip from KZfaq. That is not professional, that is selfish."

You made it mildly harder for us to profit from you near death expirence, so selfish

That's just the kind of prick Clarkson is, a ball breaker to the last, phallic references and all.

I almost missed this bit. Thanks for posting it down here. Hadn't realised that Clarkson's command of the English language had deteriorated so much.

Did you see the crash on one of the specials, a tree saved him from falling hundreds of feet!

@@dylanmaclean9629 Hammond DID crash against the ground but the crash DOWN the hill was staged.

He said that he has PTSD

Probably cause he saw his life flash before his eyes, crash probably only was like 5 seconds given how fast that car was moving

But he still managed to complete the lap and broke the record, the crashed hapened when he looked as his lap time, that second he took his eyes of the road next thing he knows he was in the corner he was doing 212 when the crash hapened

Compared to the dragster crash, he got out of this pretty luckily

Dead out of laughter...

He was properly only with him to take the piss out of him

Never noticed that

gets dragged out of a flaming wreckage of a car, the first thing you hear is: "Hammond you idiot!"

Where?

@@kiranbabu5403 You can see it, especially at the full footage of the ending which didn't show at this video

@@MayKelvin0806 What? Where? It's not on the actual episode, can't find any footage on youtube either - There's no video of Jeremy holding back his tears lol

timestamp

Dead meme

@@Twongz_does_anything Nope. Hammond could have died in that crash. Don't tel that Andy Wilman wanted to kill Hammond.

@@Twongz_does_anything And? No one cared back then if it was fake or not. The, unfortunately important thing is that Hammond broke his leg back then

Hold my gin and tonic*

what was the speed at the crash?

Yeah.. or 2021, because it's turning out so great!! 👍

I don't think so. You can't blame 4 digit time over this mess.

and electric cars in general......

The huge banner over the road was a bit of a give away though. I have no idea what he thought he was doing. Such a shame for the company who built the car, wonder if it was insured?

@@Wicker_ The finish was on a straight section, you can't be focused and not notice it and he obviously wasn't in a position to negotiate the corner where he crashed. He seems to have completely lost the plot during those last few seconds.

From the accident report and data from the car, after finishing the lap he looked at his lap time, so he took his eyes of the road and the next thing he knew he was on the corners, he was dping 212 during the crash

it didn't help though, did it?

winded him up too much he tossed himself off the hill

Me

Why tf he drives with open window 😂

Me today

@@aljohncano23 same

KZfaq algorithm doing the most.

What you feel doesnt have an impact on whats going to happen though

@@Daniel1996vdh it does if you react to it. Intution can be a crazy thing

@@TeenPerspektiva ?? How he react to his feelings is his fault though, his feelings alone has no impact

@@Daniel1996vdh you clearly dont get it, thats ok - not everyone does

@@TeenPerspektiva its you who clearly doesnt get it. I've said it 3 times now, feelings ALONE does not matter, its how he REACTS on those feelings that matters. Its what you do that matters, not what you feel.

What you meaning?

They need to pay lol, jk

NO HE ISN'T, sigh Amazon tracks viewers, they see what they fast forward through, jump over, and their marketing staff discovered most viewers skipped over the tent segments in favor of the adventure segments, so they decided to give the majority of viewers what they preferred

@@jfk64kennedy95 r/woosh

@@jfk64kennedy95 r/wooosh

He must have pictures of Death in compromising situations.

Ehh no he doesn’t

I was thinking the same, he was already very nervous, he multiplied it!

yashas aggarwal he was nervous for the race, but he was already finnished when he crashed

The speech was staged and multiple takes were done filming the hill climb

@@Lucy-gk4wr go figure

Hammond said he always crash

What Jeremy said was scripted Hammond had already done his round two times before he crashed. The director asked for a last one.. Also the rimac had an internal issue. This accident has nothing to do with what Jeremy said

@@ThelouwseFD i really hope you're right

someone has never watched topgear or even paid attention to how they talk to each other 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But did he die?

@Udruga Mladih UMNO wtf what is wrong with you😂😂. do you know the difference between nationalism and patriotism?? i guess not dnd i think you are some leftist swiss guy who thinks beeing proud of his nation is bad 😂😂

@Udruga Mladih UMNO get some help ... and learn about patriotism.. and don't call someone racist or nationalist for no reason 🍆head

Yes :)

Yeh the death flag usually occurs in horror films lol

*It never happened to me* Is the ultimate disaster line in history

This isn't top gear, it's The Grand Tour

And don't forget that road track it's not helpful at all for this car types with so many corners

@Pierre cim You mindless moron, you know it was on a fully electric car... Right ? You know you don't get any feedback to warn you how fast you go... Right ? He noticed it a bit too late and tried to steer the car but it was too much for the torque vectoring system... And no car in any race over the world stop right at the finish line.

It shouldn’t have happened it seems to me like Rimac is hiding something because if it got out that part of the car malfunctioned it would just destroy Rimac as a company, Richard said multiple times that he couldn’t get the car to slide then he said he didn’t know how it happened in this video, and it doesn’t seem like he’s doing anything that would cause him to crash other than a malfunctioning EV. Not that I blame Rimac for hiding it, it makes perfect sense.

@@griffins5655 Hammond or any guy like Hammond, in a brand new hypercar, full of cutting edge technology, fully electric, only hearing the tires on the tarmac was difficult to estimate how fast he was going. You approach a turn, your eyes are on the road ahead, you take your foot of the throttle, only to realise that without throttle there is no way you can turn that thing into direction because you are coming in too hot.... Next thing you know tires spin but the car goes straight, the speed was so great even the torque vectoring couldn't be efficiently strong... "limitation unlocked". Even if Rimac had the slightest clue this was a potential issue or not, who could possibly warn the driver for it ? . You know that car Tesla... 0 to 60 in 1.8 seconds, they tested it on a straight line. The only drivers that could possibly control such thing, G forces etc are the dragster drivers and again they have experience only in a straight line... Poor Hammond had curves ahead. I think you get my point now.

Well his job as a presenter is to tell us exactly what's happening.

"what's wrong with her now" Lol

He crashed a 1.2 million dollar Rimac , he didnt crash 1.2 Million times

@@atarvhegde5210 ....no shit you don't say

yeah...just imagine the gorilla had been driving, or captain slow.....;-)

He looked completely lost just after he crossed it as if he didn't see it.

Well, because he is Richard Hammond..

Must have been adrenaline rush. Have you ever been in a car of this caliber ? Excitement, fear, alertness and a feeling as if you are drunk mess up your head.

White line fever

I think something went in the car because after he crossed it his face became paniced and he looked down

Wondered that myself.

Same

Right..... this all seemed too staged to be honest...

Yh i was thinking 'why didnt he slow down' 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@ghostchilli8022 seemed like he had it floored pedal to the metal.
