Unfortunately just heard on the news that Hamster has suffered brain damage from the crash [:'(]

oh dear God, that is not good [:D]

I think the doctors were choosing their words carefully, because they said they are "reasonably optimistic" he would make a good recovery.

Hope he makes a FULL recovery, very quickly - top gear won't be the same without him.

Speedy recovery wee man as the new series starts on Oct 8th

Top Gear dog is standing in for the Hamster and will be racing a Hot Air balloon over the alps with Top Gear dog driving a Berlingo

Fingers crossed he is on the mend

A Leeds General Infirmary spokesman said: "Doctors say Richard Hammond is making satisfactory progress.

"This morning he has been moved from intensive care on to a high dependency unit.

"His condition has been downgraded from 'serious but stable' to 'stable'."

The doctors treating Mr Hammond have previously said they are "reasonably optimistic" he will make a good recovery.

He'll be fine I'm sure.

A bruised brain (which can happen) is what I think he has suffored. I m not a doctor, just a hopefull individual.

I think his wife and kids will be delighted that he has a slight sense of humour. (Last report I got).

Quote from the BBC :

The 36-year-old presenter suffered a "significant brain injury" when he crashed a jet-powered car at a speed of up to 300mph during filming.

Who's saying that he caused the crash? 

Maybe the BBC are wiping their hands clean?

I think the parachute caused the crash. (my opinion only BTW)

Why would he deliberately swerve off the runway?

I don't read the Sun but apparently there was a quote from JC in it where he said something along the lines of Hamster could talk but it was all gibberish and mutterings. So said the news reporter on Sky earlier this afternoon.

Hope that aint correct.

Edit: Just had a look at the justgiving site and it's now slightly below £60K. Wow.

I have just heard that he has been moved from Intensive Care, and his Neurosurgeon's have stated that he has his sense of humour back and is joking with the doctor's. [:D]

That is good news!

Clarkson saying to him "What a cr*p driver" as he was regaining consciousness, Hamster apparently responded with a wry smile.

Anyone see the news at 6 when 2 drivers visited the Leeds hospital where Hamster is being treated.  One in a Mondeo and the other in a stickered up Scoob

mondeo man was stickered up and personal plate as MENU - also might get some unwanted attention for the big number 10 on his door not being crossed through (or has that strange bit of law gone now?).

Y reg Scoob was stickered up as D Smith & J Dolan - David Smith was the second chap that they interviewed.
