After Jeremy Clarkson was fired recently after assaulting a producer on the show, co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May both declined to sign contracts for a new series of the show. BBC is rumored to relaunch Top Gear next year with three new hosts and it remains to be seen if the format will change.
