His book "On the Edge" details his experience recovering from a serious brain injury sustained in a high-speed car crash, offering a candid account of his rehabilitation and return to broadcasting.

Hammond, Clarkson, and May later presented "The Grand Tour" on Amazon Prime Video, continuing their exploration of automotive culture and adventure. Hammond also co-founded DriveTribe, a digital platform and YouTube channel focused on car culture and automotive news. He has appeared in "Richard Hammond's Workshop" on Discovery+, documenting his efforts to establish a classic car restoration and repair business.

With a career spanning radio, television, publishing, and digital media, Hammond is known for his contributions to automotive journalism, science education, and factual entertainment.
