I know a few of you love Top Gear so thought i would let you know
Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond is stable but remains seriously ill in hospital after he crashed a jet-powered car during filming for the BBC show.
The 36-year-old was thought to be driving at about 300mph on an airfield near York when he crashed on Wednesday.
Top Gear co-host Jeremy Clarkson, who was visiting the hospital, said many motorists were "rooting for" Hammond.
Clarkson was joined at the Leeds General Infirmary by the show's other presenter, James May.
He said in a statement that Hammond and his family were "the most important concerns we have".
He was initially reported to have suffered serious head injuries and was taken to the neurological unit of hospital by helicopter.
A spokesman said Hammond's condition, which was described as serious but stable, had showed some improvement overnight.
Hammond was driving a jet-powered dragster similar to the Vampire - used by Colin Fallows to set the British land speed record.
It is thought Hammond was attempting to break Fallows' record of 300.3mph.
