Chris Harris Criticizes BBC After Flintoff Crash

Top Gear presenter Chris Harris has revealed he warned the BBC about safety issues prior to Freddie Flintoff's severe crash in December 2022, which left Flintoff with significant injuries and psychological trauma. Harris criticized the BBC for not taking his concerns seriously, noting that Flintoff wasn't wearing a helmet and was not properly briefed before driving a difficult vehicle. The crash led to a £9 million settlement with Flintoff and contributed to the show's cancellation. Harris also discussed another incident involving co-host Paddy McGuinness crashing a Lamborghini in 2020, attributing it to old tires on the car. Both incidents highlight ongoing safety issues on the show.
