More pics of Rowan Atkinson’s crashed McLaren F1 have emerged and, as you can see, they don’t make for pleasant viewing.
In some good news for the star of Blackadder and Mr Bean, he been released from hospital with no more than a broken shoulder blade. Looking at these images he can thank the strength of the McLaren’s carbon-fibre body shell for that; it could have been much worse.
Apparently Atkinson was driving home after filming for his new role in Johnny English Reborn. His agent Peter Bennett-Jones said, “He is shaken but not stirred. He will want the car repaired straight away.”
Best of luck with that.

It will buff out.
[…] UPDATE 7 August: New pics of Atkinson’s wrecked F1 can be seen HERE. […]
I hope he managed to take out one of those three wheelers in the process.
The way that car is being hauled unceremoniously onto the back of the truck would suggest total loss. But then, it is a special car, so maybe the Mcbuffins can weave some magic. Sad pics.
is this not his second McLaren he’s written off ?
No, he’s crashed the same car twice. First time was a low speed rear-ender (he hit the car in front). The damage looked bad on that one, but it was repaired.
