Mr May is a good man. That is all.
I'm disgusted that James didn't say "disgusted" in this video.
That’s part of the news they say things that the person they are talking about didn’t say news it’s just full of shit
Got you to click though
@@greyarea6688bunch of aholes
Who cares 😂
It’s clear now that he has had most of his face reconstructed. He’s had a terrible year.
Exactly James. As long as Freddie’s alright.
James May is just a really sound guy.
He wiushes Freddy was ded
I doubt we’ll ever see Freddie on the tele again. Or ever. It’s sad. He must have suffered real facial injuries and he was already conscious about his looks and weight etc. Whatever it is Freddie, just do your best to own it. Be well x
Pics of him at the cricket yesterday and the injuries must have been terrible.
He looked in good spirits though, so that's the main thing.
@@SpotlessLeopard yeah it’s as I thought. Poor Freddie. Life is shit sometimes. Enjoy what you have now x
@@Taylor___ I'm gonna guess he's come to terms with it now, and yesterday was a big step in returning to some type of normality.
He's got a real sense of humour, and that's gonna get him through.
honestly i’m so upset about this. loved watching him on tv now his face is mangled! so upsetting hes very lucky to have people around him who love him
He didn't have to drive the car...save your sympathy for the people living in Gazza
This is why, I 'identify' with James !
He's just a decent bloke
I think people don't realise how far presenters of these programs push themselves. I loved the Clarkson team on TG but I also think that the Flintoff team did a bloody good job. Harris is a driving monster. It is sad that it's off the air but far more important that Freddie is well.
They push themselves because they are narcissists.
Why wasn’t the show closed down when Richard Hammond crashed that rocket car at close to 300 mph. He airlifted to hospital and was also in a coma, and suffered memory loss issues as well. The BBC also showed the both Hammonds crashes on the news, plus we got an explanation of what went wrong. (I know there was no explanation for the Rimac’s crash). Why the cover up with Freddie Flintoffs accident?
@gordonjohnston684 : I'm totally speculating here, but it could be that Hammond's injury wasn't visible (so to speak). Whereas, sadly Freddie's face is currently messed up, pretty bad. The guy's had extensive plastic surgery to rebuild his face. Google the images. It looks pretty harsh.
@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM I think you're right. I think that there was also an element of choice. Freddie chose to stay out of the limelight. His recovery has taken a lot longer and it's fair to say that his injuries are physically life changing. I'm also speculating that it's probably had a massive effect mentally.
i just found it annoying that for the first couple of seasons fred and paddy would try to belittle chris at every opportunity. i could almost feel the friction through the tv
People seem to forget it took the original show with Clarkson, Hammond & May a while to actually build up the chemistry & banter they had. Also they massively benefit from the whole idea that the show was supposed to be ‘proper’ & ‘informative’ & it was them acting like naughty kids in the back of the classroom that made it so good. People tune in & expect Freddie & the other chaps to be exactly the same when it just really isn’t positioned like that anymore. They do alright!
True, and if you look at who did most of the really dangerous stuff in the old Top Gear, it Richard. He had a few bad accidents, a lot of the stunts he did could have gone horribly wrong. Jeremy and May were there for their banter mostly.
Totally agree with you James.👍💯. I hope Freddie recovers both physically and mentally.❤️❤️
I didn't hear the word "disgusted"
And that false title is why I thumbs downed the video!
Doesn't action speak more words than a title?
@@KaganRustem Really?! Lol
Sage words, as always.
I can’t believe they didn’t make him wear a full face helmet, when he was was taller than the cars roll bar. Madness. Also, it wasn’t the safest track, as an air field, proper hard standing run off areas were basically non existent. Which is why the star in a reasonably priced car segments had some near flips!
If you make a broad appeal program in the UK you have to accept that a significant part of the fan base will be irredeemably stupid.
Freddie did seem to push it, much further than any previous presenter!
I dunno man, Hammond did some pretty crazy stuff. He has almost died twice now!
Not a fan of the current top gear but I'm not expecting the original 3 back. It's not their show anymore. Hope Flintoff makes a full recovery and can carry on!
@@georgetwydell6166 I appreciate what you say about Hammond but Freddie almost seemed to have a death wish! Anyway, the only thing he has killed is Top Gear!
Well said James, get well soon Freddie.
Indeed, a lot of Top Gear fans are really quitevile individuals it seems.
All these men risk their lives to entertain us, James May knows this all too well.
why is the word disgusting in the title, James said no such thing. Click bait I presume. Well done James, lovely words from a lovely man.
can you not read or something?
Respect, james.
He said he's surprised, not disgusted. Shameless title
Nicely said James
Once again, James has done this properly.
James May and Richard Hammond both excel at being polite and decent people. It is never a good thing when people go to hospital.
This man is the best boring and kind-hearted man on Earth.
Boring ? James has set two records in Bugattis, built a space rocket, gone for a ride with Ken Block, traveled the world and has his own brand of Gin.
That’s not very boring if you ask me.
@@Makrel94 its obviously a joke
@@TheAssainGuy When did i say it wasnt a joke ? I just pointed out that it sucks..
Good on ya James! Respect to you!!
*Metro say they're disgusted by disappointingly calm response by James May to Freddie Flintoff's Top Gear crash so they invent a fictitious clickbait response*
Top Gear is still on ?
Love this guy
May’s such a treasure.
People forget that Richard hammond had a much more serious crash
Your comment just proved the point of this video.
Leave it to a Roblox player to spew rubbish.
Get well Freddy
He is very true and reasonable to those who are saying immoral comments. James May is and always will be a legend. What a great man he is.
He's a good egg that James may.
Get well Freddy.
good man, and they've all been in crashes and wouldnt wish that on anyone in the world, as it wasnt about ego when they left, it was about following a friend, and they still work for the BBC from time to time on their own gigs, last thing they would do is dump on someone like that in their time of need.
and that is coming from me, a guy who actively made fun of Chris Evan's when he took over, but that was my own bias and the fact that the guy took the bumpers off of a vintage, beautiful ferrari 250 Californian spider that was key to its looks, and put a stupid number plate on it.
Well said James.
Bless him
Always the gentleman
Well said James
he has just been paid nine million
Why can't we comment on why T.G. ended?
May is above comments/ opinions?
Maybe May just proved our opinions.
Thank you James for always being a good person
The result of having celebrity amateurs attempting to carry out the job of experts.
@@joelbrewer9763 No “Experts”
Wich “experts” are you talking about ?
The radio host, the pianist or the journalist ?
Hammond only learned to powerslide in the grand tour 💀
Not very expert of him…
Mend well Freddie 😢xx
1:11 did James fart?
Ye😂😂😂
An old fart 😂😂😂
Tell your foster mum i'll see her soon😉🤌🍑
well said James May
and that my freinds is class
Haven't watched the show in years
Does this mean Freddie is not coming on then?
I can't believe he wasn't wearing a helmet driving That Morgan super 3 death trap
He was, here's a link to the actual footage, and you clearly see him wearing a crash helmet czcams.com/video/mAL7y--Y1HA/video.htmlsi=3MSHCtvLIRqdxWwQ
@imahappycamper2022 the link you have to another totally different crash where he was wearing a helmet and wasn't injured , the car he was critically injured on was a three wheel Morgan super 3 which he wasn't wearing a helmet the Morgan has a rollover bar but anyone sitting init there head is above the bar and other people IV seen driving it have helmets and there is no public footage of that crash and the first photos of Flintoff in public shows wounds on his face and possibly skin grafts , I hope recovers fast because he is a entertainment legend
@drundub73 any 3 wheel car is a death drap if you want to go round corners , I can remember driving in a robin reliant and it leant to one side if someone was More heavy tree wheelers are a novelty like Morgan
Don't know whose decision it was not to wear a helmet, but it was clearly wrong.
@papalegba6796 were was health and safety , you know it quite dangerous the rollbar doesn't go above your head but hey
Freddie did his job impeccably. He found his car’s limit, and then he pushed his body beyond it.
He discovered the car’s true Ultra-Limit.
Pity it was well above his own limit.
Why has this terrible accident being covered up in a vail of secrecy? Something doesn’t smell right. Anyway that three wheel Morgan looks so dangerous, with minimal overhead protection and nothing sitting of the dash apart from a tiny wind deflector if the car was ever to ever roll over how could Morgan not see how dangerous this car really is? Especially running on three wheels, and I am sure it was probably being driven to its limits.
Must be a conspiracy theory here, right........ (sigh)
It was misreported as a Morgan. It wasn't a Morgan at all. It was a custom bike called a Time Bandit.
@@therealgaragegirls I believe that was the first time he cashed, Freddy did crash a Three wheel Tri called a Bandit. He was wearing a full face helmet, he failed to stop from a high speed run, and went off the end of the runway. He was uninjured. It resembled a sled with an engine mounted on the back. Virtually no protection again, travelling I think it was 160mph + head first.
I watched Top Gear BC (Before Clarkson) and since then and have been a fan of the various presenters (not so much Steve Berry) but there is a culture out there for people to say it has to be one thing or the other. I love the current Top Gear and also Grand Tour
I am surprised you can like both at the same time. One has sartorial wit and gentle humour, combined with intelligence (TGT). Whilst the other has lots of shouting and giggling (TG)
@@peterboczan6251 What part of The grand tour is “intelligent” ?
Paris Hilton ? The American ? How about Chistmas sweaters with penis written on them ?
Well said Sir.
My honest opinion is that Freddie Flintoff is never going to fully recover.
From what I know he took massive damage to his facial structure and the nerves within it.
Freddie is way beyond the Takeshi Kitano factor now.
Why does he get this again ?
Plus remember what happened to Hammond.
Chris Harris Quentin Wilson and Tiff Needel would have been a good line up for tg. Wasn’t really a fan of any of the others that tried. Try they did and fair play to them but it wasn’t really working.
Shows the idiocy of the BBC employing a cricketer instead of a motoring journalist.
Did Hammond ever sue the producers of top gear or the BBC for his injuries? The reason the show is off the air is because of the presenters.
May never said disgusted 😅😅😅😅
Good Luck with your future Freddie, i say this because, oneday you might come across this comment. 👍
He did it at his own risk so how the hell was he able to sue the Beeb?
Same with Sue Aiken who fell off her snowmobile and sued them.
The beeb should make people sign disclaimers before the crashes saying they were doing it at their own risk.
You mean the BBC, or is that a joke I didn't get?
@@kingkeshi1140 Yeah here in england the 'beeb' is what we call the BBC
@@tungstenkid2271 I live in England and Nobody I know has ever said this. Must be regional differences. To be fair I'm going to call it the Beep from now on so...
My comment is differently abled
Accidents happen that’s for sure the difference is outside of these scary moments the presenters themselves will never will be that raw funny genuine craziness that HAMOND CLARKSON AND MAY FOUND themselves in through out the years. I VERY MUCH HOPE THAT FREDDIE GETS BACK TO HIMSELF AND THAT THERE IS NO LASTING INJURIES
CLLLLLAAAAARRRRKKKKSOOOOOOOOON
click bait title
Welp, Top Gear has been axed after 46 years...
I thought you just rolled across the grass I don't remember seeing any injuries he got off the bike and he was absolutely fine unless something else is happening which I've missed
wah did u see the photos hes going to need facial reconstructive surgery it was rly bad crash i cant believe ppl will say he didnt do a good job he give a lot for our petty entertainment
Open face helmets and a cricketer at the wheel.
i heard Top gear won't be back on the news, i thought fair enough, it's not the same anyway without the old team, but i never knew it was because freddie crashed, i just assumed ratings were down
Driving cars can be dangerous shocker.
Who ever
Didn't know Flintoff had a crash on top gear hope he's ok now 😍
Thing is, as amusing and exciting as the races and stunts were etc, if top gear stuck to its origins of reviewing cars then maybe the accident wouldn’t have happened.. just saying 🤷♂️
I am surprised how this guy now looks!....like a slightly younger Rick Wakeman.😅
Its just the internet. The one percent of idiots get the most attention.
Top gear being cancelled.....
It's just that people are upset that Top Gear went on after the core people weren't there anymore.
They should have never tried to make a new Top Gear without Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond.
They made the show. The arrogant idea that people still cared about the show was totally wrong.
It's not good they hated on Freddie in such a situation but it was a money grab horrible idea to continue the show without the 3 Kings.
And now top gears been canned off
To be honest. I'm glad Top Gear died without the real trio. I hope they regret firing Jeremy for the rest of their lives
They were top gear in the end. There was never any continuing it. Bit like judge judy really.
Am I a dick for being surprised at May showing that much class?
yes
I do prefer the other team.
No disrespect to Freddie.
Move on.
@@stevemurrell6167get back.
Okay but that isn't really the point of the video
get over it boomer nobody asked you
Modern too gear sucks
I will never watch top gear. It ended when Jeremy punched that guy over hot food
Why take it out on the actual show, Clarkson amd the other 2 haven't done Top Gear for years.
@@seanbrown8533 Yeah, they been doing Grand Tour and other things like Clarkson's Farm, James May in Japan/Italy. Richard did a survival show with one of the hosts of Mythbusters. Their humor is what made Top Gear, I will not be watching the new guys cause they're not humorous. I'm more taking it out on BBC because the guy probably deserved to be smacked.
It's quite obvious why I won't be watching new top gear, not sure why you didn't put that together but if you like it, then whatever. We all have our preferences and reasons why we watch things. They're getting too old now and BBC just wants to keep cashing in on the Title.
@@ShutUpCleanYourMonitor oh i see!
I get you now.
I'm more or less the same.
I've give new Top Gear a watch, but nothing compared to the original 3.
Grand Tour is really good and the Farm.
I've never watched anything else May or Hammond have done tbf , side projects wise.
Clarkson is the best.
How stupid are you clowns that you don't understand what you just saw
Well done for being the sort of dick that James was literally talking about

I checked out of Top, so called, Gear when Jason Dawe left…
Dear so called top gear...
Keep on trucking Fred.
Obviously the first team was much superior.
Can you even remember Angela Rippon?
Id crash and lose my left arm for 9 million payout
Last comment. (At time of writing).
This is why you don’t bring a cricketer to a classic.
James may they should have never ever got rid of you guys. He's a tool, I got fuck all for my accident apart from 69 a week ssp. Shocking and it wasn't even my fault. Commuting to work I was. Serves him right
They didn’t. They got rid of Clarkston.
The other two knew it works as them three and no one could replace that dynamic. It’s a package deal, so the other two exited as well.
@bradleys6466 totally understand Bradley, but still it worked with 3 of them really didn't it. If they get shot of one them technically it's 3
Cheese comment
How can you sue the BBC for you crashing in a car that you CHOSE to go in and CHOSE to drive at that high speed KNOWING that if you crash you will be seriously hurt or dead, you CHOSE TO DRIVE A CAR AT OVER 150MPH ON AN AIRPLANE RUNWAY WITH NO TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE AS RACE DRIVER IN A ROAD CAR WITH NO PROPER SAFETY FEATURES AND NOT EVEN A ROOF, IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT MR FLINTOFF
What a narrow minded comment. A clear demonstration of a lack of ability to think critically.
Freddie who? Oh, some chump from the new Top Gear? Never heard of him.
Unfortunately the guy came off as if he was consistently putting himself and potentially others in more danger than necessary by acting like a rowdy lad, inevitably crashes then gets £9m of public money
Exactly…. 9 million of bbc licence money?, pretty sure he’s already a multimillionaire.
Wouldn’t wish his injuries on anyone but there are more people a lot more worse off than him that could do with that money.
My mate was paralysed from the waist down 20 odd years ago through a car accident that wasn’t even his fault and he never received a small fraction of that!
The rich get richer as they say!!!!
A TV presenter whose face is ripped apart during a production has every right to sue for lost earnings.
@@Alex-lm7cx of course he has the right to sue but it doesn’t mean he is right to sue.
Loss of earnings is for people who need to earn to live,
This man was already worth 20 million ! Is that not enough to live like a king the rest of your life?
That money could do so much more good to so many more people…. That’s my point that you’ve ignored!
I'd rather not have permanent facial injuries scars over 9 million any day. I'm sure he has plenty of money anyway. What I have heard is that he was driving an open top car and it ended up flipping. He wasn't wearing a helmet for some unknown reason in an open top car which seems crazy to me.
0th comment.
I was never here
You saw nothing
Go back to sleep
You’re dreaming
Woooooooooo! 😴👻
Not really sure who Freddy is, but hope he’s on the mend.
A few million pay out will help too.
