Hamster stacks the car – again

Richard “the Hamster” Hammond, who less than a year ago survived a life-threatening car accident, has collided a racing car again -although this time he is at pains to downplay the severity.

“Reports of my shunt this weekend have been greatly exaggerated.” the Top Gear host said.

“During one of my driving stints, a much faster car tried to overtake and there was a bit of a collision. It was nobody’s fault – it was what they call a ‘racing incident’.”

A BBC spokesman said, “Richard wasn’t hurt at all but the car was damaged. It was taken back to the pits and repaired before Richard carried on with the race.”
