Speaking to The Today Show on Friday morning, Hammond admitted walking away from his former Top Gear co-hosts was never an option.

During a “Clarkson, Hammond and May” live show in Perth, Australia – rebranded from “Top Gear Live” for legal reasons following Clarkson’s dismissal from the BBC in March – the Doncaster man took to the stage to tell the audience that “there will be a auto show on the internet or in your house”, going as far as to present a tongue-in-cheek blooper reel of their new production, in which Clarkson mispronounces “Porsche 911”.
Clarkson, 55, was characteristically buoyant as he made his way across the sprawling terminal with an assistant before checking his luggage. There, they promised 14,000 fans that they will be back on their screens in some capacity.
Saying being a trio is their “only function”, he continued: “I think it’s just being realistic – there’s nothing else we can do now”.
The former “Top Gear” presenter teased that it could be headed across the pond but held short on revealing if it will indeed be produced with online streaming giant Netflix. ‘So yes, we’ll stick together.’.
During their long BBC stint they’ve played auto darts, exploded caravans, and driven around the world in all manner of unsuitable vehicles irritating the locals.
Appearing alongside Richard Hammond and James May, the trio are also thought to have joked about the recent dramas that unfolded, which saw Jeremy sacked for punching a producer.

“For legal reasons, nothing we have ever done together has ever happened”, Clarkson joked.
