Soon-to-be-former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond told Fairfax Media that the imminent end of Top Gear in its current format broke his heart. Despite the sorrowfulness of it all, the Hamster assures its fans that the three amigos will carry on doing their usual “ambitious but rubbish” stuff.
According to a report published by Australian publication The Sydney Morning Herald, Hammond has this to say about the future of Jeremy Clarkson and his brothers in arms: “We're not dead, we're not over. And by the grace the God, and more importantly for our audience, we'll find a way of carrying on. We've had a great time, and we're not ready to stop yet. We'll stop when the audience tells us to stop."
Ambitious? Yes. Rubbish? Absolutely not. Not at all. Some voices suggest that once the 75-minute farewell episode finishes airing this Sunday, Netflix will make a long-awaited announcement about a new car show with Jeremy, Richard, and James, at 9:15 pm sharp (UK time).

We’ll see how this rumor pans out. Until solid information surfaces, we are much obliged to tell you more about how the Hamster feels about wrapping the Top Gear story up. Richard is genuinely sad about the imminent end, stating that he doesn’t think he’ll be able to watch Top Gear ever again.

When asked about the studio bits he filmed with James May sans Jeremy Clarkson, Hammond declared that the current Top Gear team owes this to the audience. On an ending note, there seems to be some Twitter activity as of late from Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May.

The latter can be seen driving an Austin Seven-like economy car from the 1930s, as well as a Triumph Dolomite Sprite. In Jeremy’s and Richard’s cases, we can’t help but feel a little bit of nostalgia in the air.
