Don't worry, it will return. We'll have to wait and see if it will be as great as it should be.

It'll be tame as fuck if it comes back. :cry: The Stig should have taken Hamster's place as he is indestructible.
Some say his breath smells of titanium,
Some say he assassinated JFK,
All we know is he's THE STIG.

Anyone up for an online petition?
thats bullshit. they shudnt cancel top gear just because he was going to show the footage on it. they dont postpone the fucking formula 1 races every time some one crashes, how is this fucking different? people die in races, he's survived, which is worse?

Actually, no one's died in an F1 race for over 12 years, now. And I can only think of three incidents where someone has had to go to hospital in the last ten years. You can't really compare the two.

Jean Alesi, Michael Schumacher, Ralf Scumacher x100, one of the Renaults in Brazil 03...
Four, at least.

What happened to Alesi? It escapes me. Ralf has only been properly injured once, and the Renault you're referring to is Alonso. Panis broke his leg in 97 as well, so it would be five.

Alesi crashed at Blanchimont in Spa in 01 or 02 in the rain. The safety car was out for ages that race. That was the race when there was about three restarts because both Williams' (on the front row) screwed up. Fisichella was starting really fast and he ehdl up Couldthard for ages while spraying oil all over his visor. That allowed Schumacher to win by crawling.
Zonta had an injury with BAR in 99 and Salo filled in for a race.

Your memory is so much better than mine.
I think Trulli had a pretty serious crash at Spa as well, a few years ago.
