The Nevera in the video attached below is number 10 out of a total of 150 cars, and in the passenger seat is Rimac's chief engineer and test driver. Considering what happened the last time Hammond drove a Rimac, it's an understandable precaution to make sure The Grand Tour co-host isn't involved in another accident. Predictably, it looks as though Hammond was a little reluctant to drive, but he eventually worked up the courage to get underway.
Hammond is very honest in the video, and once again takes full responsibility for what happened six years ago while the crew of The Grand Tour was filming in Hemberg, Switzerland: "I've never tried to dodge the blame for the crash. I've always fessed up. It was me. My excuse is it was so crazy, addictively fast, and so drivable and exploitable". He admits that he kept going even after crossing the finish line at the Swiss hillclimb:
"No amount of computer wizardry and technical genius can defy physics, or more specifically gravity when some lead-footed Muppet throws it off a Swiss mountain."
As a reminder, the Rimac crash footage was included in the first episode of the second series of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime on December 8, 2017.
