He did love that car it is a shame, he was the fastest around the top gear track this year too I think. I suspect Maclaren will build it back up for him

So this is his 2nd F1?

(why's this been moved from OT? It's about Rowan Atkinson, not about the car! If I wanted it in Car Talk, I'd have put it there!)

I think it might need a bit more fixing this time

No his First F1.

He fixed it the first time. AS you can see from the knackered front its nothing major.

"That's not gone well".

I think he can afford a replacement, he's meant to be worth something in the region of £100 million

Looks quite fatal in the loader pics.

Must have given it a Bean or two.

Maybe the broom got stuck under the brake pedal.
