Izzy Hammond, the daughter of Richard Hammond, has spoken out after a frightening crash during a Formula E event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The 25-year-old collided with a bollard on the track just one minute into her lap, causing debris to scatter across the track. Fortunately, Izzy was able to walk away from the incident and was promptly assessed by medical personnel, reassuring fans that she was unharmed.

Providing an update on her condition, Izzy revealed that she had suffered a concussion but emphasized that she was doing well. In a post on Instagram, she expressed remorse to her team, Lola, for the mishap and described the crash as a result of insufficient tire heat, leading to a loss of control and a collision with the wall at 24Gs.

Despite experiencing some neck discomfort, Izzy reiterated that she was okay and thanked everyone for their concern. She humorously noted that the crash marked her as a “proper racing driver” and jokingly mentioned her plans to sleep off the concussion.

In a conversation with Lola’s social media team post-race, Izzy admitted that the event did not go as planned and apologized for the dramatic crash. She acknowledged the damage to Lola’s car, expressing regret for the incident and assuring them of her apologies.

Reflecting on her father’s past car accident while filming Top Gear, Izzy shared that her immediate concern after her crash was to inform her father that she was safe. She expressed a humorous worry that her father would be emotional upon hearing about the crash.

The incident has drawn attention due to the parallels with Richard Hammond’s own high-speed crash two decades ago, which resulted in severe brain injuries and a two-week coma. Izzy’s lighthearted approach to the situation and concern for her father’s reaction have resonated with followers and fans of the family.
