Trio shift from top gear for grand tour

TV presenter Richard Hammond has admitted that the former Top Gear trio are under pressure to deliver ahead of the release of their highly-anticipated new show this Friday.

Hammond and James May followed Jeremy Clarkson to Amazon Prime Video after Clarkson parted company with the BBC for punching a producer.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Hammond, 46, spoke of the pressure of their latest motoring show, The Grand Tour, and dismissed “mad speculation” over each episode’s budget, which has been reported to be up to £4m (€4.6m).
