Overview

• Speaking on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Hammond said he expects the long-running series to return despite having no role in the decision.
• The BBC put the programme on hold in December 2022 after Freddie Flintoff was seriously injured during filming at Dunsfold Aerodrome.
• Hammond said news of Flintoff’s crash triggered memories of his own 2006 dragster accident and he stressed that recovery can be lengthy.
• He argued that any future car coverage should reflect decarbonisation debates, saying not every solution will be electric and that engineers are advancing alternatives.
• He added that his Discovery+ series Richard Hammond’s Workshop will acknowledge his recent divorce at the start of the new instalment.
