Rimac took another jab at Hammond on the Concept Two/Nevera (production version). The fire extinguisher in the rear is held down with a leather strap that reads "In case of hill climb, extinguish fire"
There is another moment, I cannot remember what they were doing, but Hammond was driving round a track and Jeremy turned to James and told him “His wife (Mindy) called me this morning and told me if he (Hammond) crashes again, she is divorcing him!” 😂😂
I can see why the insurers of such an expensive and powerful car wanted James May over Hammond, at least Captain Slow would've returned the car in one piece
My favorite joke is the one where he rolled the van. If he is dead and you fancy a job at Top Gear why not write us at "I'm better than Richard Hammond was..."
4:03 Richard : "...that was called Concept One. And they made 8 of those actually" James : "How many left ?" Richard : "Seven. Shut Up" Jeremy : "What happen to the other one ?" Love that "conversation".
@@ammarisrar2005 They made eight Concept 1s, as they mentioned in the video. One of them was Hammond'd and will not grow old because it died in a fire, but the other seven will.
It is ironic that in one of the early episodes of TG Hammond explained with a toy car what the differences are between crashing due to oversteer and understeer. Than he continously shows that neither has to occur to crash...
I remember back when Richard came back from his big accident with the jet car how he asked that they never mention the accident on top gear. And it's nice to see how they were true mates, there's barely any clips from tg.
It's important to realize that all three of them are also the authors of the series. A lot of jokes are pre-written (Which is not a bad thing, very few people are always funny on the spot), and they will have discussions about them and which jokes are OK to make, especially about each other. So if there was anything that Hammond did not to go on air, he would have been able to object to it. That being said, both Jeremy and James were pretty worried about him after the crash and were affected by it, too, so I don't think they would have liked to really joke about it while it was still fresh on everyones minds. Jeremy even wrote a funny text message to Richards wife every day while Richard was in hospital, to keep her spirits up.
@@TetraDax Again, this are 3 relatable idiots who make you appreciate the fact that you also like to be idiots with your friends and jokes about stuffs once it pass. I had the same type of conversation with a friend about games and tech and does this sort of jokes about things we did long ago too (amost in the same manner Clarkson and May speak off. While His brother Reminds me to Hammond). In a way, they know what to talk and what to not talk about as well. Even some of their jokes, guests and skit are painful to watch in light of some events (like the time Amber Herd went there. Now day she is seen as a total bitch due what she does to Johnny Deep. Or how they joke about Hammond crashing due his tend to risk a lot before that happen).
Sorry to rain on your little parade, but I’d just like to point out that the bit where Jeremy goes “‘You have a blowout on the motorway..’ one for you here Hammond.” That was 3 episodes/weeks after they promised “Never again”. It would’ve been 2 but one episode was the American Driving Holiday Special
Clarkson and May can be brutal when roasting Hammond, but give the little guy mad props, he takes the abuse like a champ, and keeps on laughing along with them. These three guys genuinely love one another(in a platonic way, obviously), and it shows.
A big part of why I enjoy watching them is how much their dynamic reminds me of my three brothers, they just take the absolute piss out of each other but it’s all from a place of love
From my understanding, most of the crash-related jokes are planned in advance and run past Hammond before filming, to make sure he's okay with them. That was definitely their off-camera agreement on Top Gear, and I doubt they would've changed that for TGT.
Clarkson: "Can we never ever mention the jet dragster crash again?" Also Clarkson: (references it dozens of times, along with the other two referencing it)
If I recall, on Top Gear, when he came back, they were like "And he made sure to tell us he didn't want us making a big deal of his recovery or him coming back or anything else..." and then the camera panned to a bunch of dancers and a red carpet and all the rest for his return. XD
Don’t they pre write the bits they do? And I’m pretty sure Hammond was fine with it, if not he would’ve spoken up and asked Jezza to not mention the accident
Favorite one is where Hamster sort of roast himself in a moment of self-awareness when he rolled into that ditch in Mongolia and you hear him yell reassuringly, "It's alright. I'm used to this!" 😂 He's got a sense of humor about himself and he owns it. Really, though, at the end of the day, we're all just glad the man is still alive.
@@JetFalcon710 I remember reading in an article about the dragster crash that when it rolled, Hammond's head came less than an inch away from the ground under the roll bar. If he had been even an inch taller, he wouldn't be here at all.
@@peytonmac1131 Right, I remember hearing about that at one point. He may be a bit salty about being short, but he can't complain that much because it did save his ass
Still amazing for a non-proffesional driver with the amount of major accidents to his name he's still alive at his age. Guess that the advantage for being a hamster.
They redid the "bet" with the Supercar trifecta (918, P1, LaFerrari), and as last time the P1 lost. The terms of the bet, in order to avoid the BBC knocking, was changed from changing Jeremy's name, to blowing up his house.
There are some people who find the constantly recurring phrases and references boring. For me, however, they are an important part of it without a doubt.
I love it when Hammond is driving into a corner with the home made tyre covers on his car and Jezza looks around and says ‘where can the helicopter land?’. Priceless.
I like how Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond are like those kids who always argue around the house while James May calm them down like a parent always do 😂
1:45 I love the fact that this actually happened once IRL; Murray Walker (RIP) actually mentioned Toyota (a big sticker behind a Toyota car) when a Toyota rolled over in a BTCC race (Just look it up somewhere on RU-vid)
I'm glad they're all so close to constantly mock each other for this, it just makes me so anxious that i can hardly stand it but a lot of good moments do come from this
Here’s a question from the test. “You have a blowout on the motorway....” One for you here Hammond, “You have a............” Me: Dead. It only took 3 episodes before he went back on his word never to mention it again.
You forget the time when Hammond test a Porsche Cayenne, he crash into camera car on opposite direction. The other one when he test the Ferrari F360, he spun the Ferrari. May made fun of it said that's why it's called F360 because you went "F*******kk" and then do a 360...😂😂
Fave Hammond crash: van challenge, when he rolled the Suzuki super-carry aka Bedford rascal. You can see a good bit of space underneath the rascal as it flipped over. He didn't merely make it roll off its wheels. He made it flip into the air.
Remember at the end of Series 9 Episode 1 when Hammond asked (and they all agreed) that they'll never mention his crash on the show again? 1:17 well, it took Jezza two episodes before he did 😆
I remember him being a little weird after the first one. The blow to his head definitely had permanent effects. And the shows stylists really struggled with his hair after the surgery rearranged his crown. He had really mad hair for a bit.
0:58 Love it that they are all clapping Hammond for getting around a track right way up and the guy in the blue tee is just there looking like he is looking into a new, personal hell.
