Richard Hammond's daughter in Formula E crash

Izzy Hammond - daughter of former Top Gear and Grand Tour presenter Richard - escaped unhurt as she crashed during a Formula E influencer event in Saudi Arabia.

Competing in the Duals stage of the sport's Evo Sessions, in which content creators go head-to-head for the fastest lap on behalf of two teams, the 25-year-old smashed into a barrier at turn 13 of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

Afterwards, she said she had been checked over by medical staff and was in one piece before saying that "the car's not".

She added: "My first thought when I was say in that wall was 'oh my god, everyone's watching, my dad's watching.

"'He's going to cry or something. Can someone just tell him I'm ok?'"

Joking about the force of the impact, she said: "It wasn't a small crash. If you're going to crash, you've got to really crash.

"I saw the wall coming and knew I was going to enter it at speed."

Hammond was competing as part of Team Senor Frogs alongside influencers including Joshua Larkin (also known as TheBurntChip), William Lenney (WillNe), Arthur Frederick (ArthurTV) and Ethan Payne (Behzinga).

Her father was almost killed in September 2006 when a 300mph (480km/h) jet-powered dragster he was driving veered off the track at Elvington airfield, near York.

The accident happened as he was attempting a land speed record while being filmed.
