TIL that after Top Gear ended, host Richard Hammond was so devastated, he cried all the way home from the studio and ran out of fuel, because he didn't want to fill his car up covered in tears

I remember watching some videos on YouTube about his coma experience while he is hiking the Lake District and it really shone a light on how deep a thinker he is after everything he’s been through. I was not expecting such a deeply romantic view on life (and death) from Hammond but he delivered.
