Hammonds crash on BBC2 Sunday

My TiVo grabbed it as it was being shown. How quick is that!!

 

They've got to be pretty solid on the race question as well whilst
they're about it. Last thing I want is fucking liberals presenting on
cars, bikes, current affairs or cricket.

 

****.

In the Independent yesterday, the owner of 'that car' blamed
Hammond for the crash.

He said Hammond carried on driving after the tyre blew.

He might have a point, even Hammond said it was 0.4 seconds
between the tyre blowing and the tumble in the grass.

 

I wonder who wandered round it and "kicked the tyres" before the last
run? There presumably was no sign of any blistering or other visual
indication that a tyre was starting to fail.

 

Yes, well, the owner of that car is a dickhead. I did love Hamster's
reaction after the second run at 314 mph.

If you look at the middle clip the tyre does appear to be coming
apart. One would have thought that they would have picked that up
before the pre-ride checks, unless they were in a rush, of course.

 

Well they did say they only had use of the airfield for another few
minutes.

 

Why do you reckon he's a dickhead? He's probably got the HSE crawling
all over his arse because he let Hammond wreck his car and the last
thing he's going to do is turn round and say that the car was a
disaster waiting to happen.
