Sabine Schmitz Made Chris Evans Sick During Top Gear Filming
The more we hear about the BBC’s post-Clarkson Top Gear plans, the more it sounds like a train wreck. There have been reports of meddling management, a production team that knows nothing about cars and the departure of key staff, plus rumours that host Chris Evans struggles to talk while driving. And if you’ve ever watched an episode of the motoring show, you’ll know talking while driving is kinda key.
It turns out he’s not that great at being a passenger either, as the veteran presenter has been photographed throwing up at the side of Laguna Seca circuit, having been made physically sick after riding shotgun in an Audi R8 V10 Plus driven by co-star Sabine Schmitz.
Despite all the issues involved with filming and behind the scenes, the BBC is still insisting that production of the show is on schedule.
It’s due to kick off in May, and I really do hope the show’s various problems are resolved. Sure, we’ll have Clarkson and co’s new Amazon Prime series to watch, but I reckon we should go by the philosophy of why not both. The presence of Chris Harris and the chance for a completely revamped show has us intrigued - we just have to hope that Evans’ stomach can cope…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

So this means I’m more qualified than Chris Evans? Cool.
I think you mean:Chris Evans is “SUCK” in Top Gear.
Yes! This means this show could be quite good if at least one driver can make the others sick.
At Laguna Seca even?! really?! Does he get sick when he watches tennis too… ?
Car guy getting car sickness on a car show. Now we really know that the “new top gear” will be a flop.
Just can Evens. Chris Harris, Sabine Schmitz, and Coulthard are more than capable putting on good motoring TV. Evens is just a name to attach to the show.
So Chris said the new TG was going to focus more on the cars and less on the presenters, with less controversy……
Taking away the two reasons that people watched it for, it’s not about the cars it’s about the trio!
I actually wouldn’t mind watching these guys throwing up. See it as a comedy
This wouldn’t even be a fail in the old top gear they would have just made it like the stigs goal to do this to someone or something.
I’m all for Sabine presenting, in fact I’m excited by the idea. She’s got a sense of humor and is more than a competent driver.
Just get rid of Chris Evans and get someone who isn’t a domineering jerk.
