IMO it was just a question of time before something like this happend, they kept on pushing, pushing and pushing, and now this is just what the media has been waiting for, so they can cut Clarkson and the BBC to shreds.

Even so, where I don't think he should've been driving that car to begin with, he knew the risks... no different then my great grandfathers' friends who died racing.

although, I'm afraid your going to end up being right
