After such a decision by the company's management, the other two Top Gear presenters, James May and Richard Hammond, stated that they refuse to work without Clarkson.
After this whole saga, BBC officials began looking for a replacement for the legendary trio. And just recently, information emerged that the new host of the popular car show could be Formula 1 driver Jenson Button. The Daily Mail published data that the BBC has already reached an agreement with the driver. His career as a host may take place after the end of his sporting career.
If Jenson Button signs the contract, he will host Top Gear together with TV and radio host Chris Evans. The contract with the latter has already been signed for a term of three years. Chris Evans stated: "I have great respect for what was done before me and I promise to develop the show further."
