Freddie Flintoff spoke to Top Gear staff about safety concerns on the day of his horrific car crash, it is understood.
It raises fresh questions for the BBC after Flintoff was seriously injured in a 130mph crash, after which he said he was "lucky to be alive".
Production was halted over the crash and filming on the latest series never resumed as the ex-cricketer recovered. And co-star Paddy McGuinness is said to believe it would be wrong to resume the show without Flintoff.The show is famed for its risky motoring stunts, sometimes dicing with death - previously, Richard Hammond survived a 320mph crash which resulted in him spending a fortnight in a coma before recovering and returning to the production.
He had to wait 45 minutes for an air ambulance then four hours in surgery as his wife Rachael was told to expect the worst.
