No, was very faint and I tried to listen hard.  But it must have been something along the lines of its nice to see that Hammonds alive and well and being able to talk through the incident ... i guess.

Hands up. I did watch a bit of CBB over the last few weeks. Enjoyed some of it too.

Jades boyfriend asked BB what a foetus was! God help the children growing up with an idiot racist and a pig ignorant t**t for parents.

Can I just say, I am NOT defending Jade in any way but, does anyone realise her father is a half cast? I cannot see how she'd be purposefully racist if this is indeed the case?  Just a thought!

From the video footage it was 0.4 seconds from delamination to crash so reactions times are fairly irrelevant I would have thought.

Think the owners saying, that if he had not jumped on the brakes he would not have had the massive spill that he did , it would have all be 'controlable'. The tyre puncture/delamination would have all been about reaction times.

I think the owner of the car may be facing criminal procedings as a result of the accident.

It'd be now interesting to see how many viewers it attracted last series to yesterdays showing and what nexts weeks numbers are like.

Think that was more that that programme on C4 that started at the same time that promotes racism.

looks like Clarkson won his bet then, even if he did fib a bit in the article regarding the timing of the crash footage

I saw this too. He may well have been responsible for what happened. I like the guy and am very glad he is well but that doesn't mean driver error wasn't partly to blame.

Oh no definately...... but everyone would probably do the same thing in that situation, and that is to 'jump on the brake pedal'. Experience count for a lot.
