That report must be true as it comes from the only newspaper that has the ear of the BBC:

Let Button finish this season with McLaren, then sign him up. Problem solved.

[50 not out]

My three would be:

Katie Hopkins
Piers Morgan
Ken Morley
These three would kick political correctness into touch
(Katie Hopkins and Piers Morgan favourited my suggestion on twitter ken morley may not have a phone,) put Colin Murray on stand by

I think they should bring back Robert Smith (although I never realised he used to present TG in the past):

[GhostDriver]

Jodie Kidd (keep the female viewers onboard, and provide the 'totty' factor).
Chris Harris (monkey would no doubt come up with great ideas for the show).
Rowan Atkinson (he wouldn't need an Atom to pull funny faces)


Kidd would replace hammond (they are both girls)
Harris replaces clarkson, both good motoring journos
Rowan Atkinson would be the James May English gent.

would work well I reckon.

[Smollet]

Let Top Gear die a natural death. No point in trying to rejuvenate it without the key players. Make a new motoring show.

Honestly it really wouldn't.

Top Gears not going anywhere.

Ok the name will change but where ever the trio end up will be top gear.

Here is my theory..........


Clarkson's contract is up right now anyway. So, he doesn't stand to lose anything. But, if he wants to go to Fox with Top Gear then Hammond and May would have to break contract. Clarkson has now put an end to the format and May immediately says they are a package and leaves.

Clarkson has worked for Murdoch for years anyway. Now take a look at Murdoch's tweets.

[williamp]

Ckarkson to replace Bernie as the ringmaster in F1
Hammond to do strictly, finds new audience and moves to the one show
May does specials, lookimgat old music, old toys, old cars, old tv, old military hardware. And wine

Top gear as we know it cannot be replicated, so is replaced by a show more...in tune with the needs of 21st century motorists living in islington. Presenters are generic and unimportant.

[v8pete]

Johnny Vegas perhaps?

And can they please ditch that tired old, played out Star-in-a-car segment..

Now here's an interesting idea:

Steve Berry was hard enough, but if they attempt to use Guy Martin, could we please have subtitles for those who find it difficult to understand a word he's saying?

It's not so much that Steve Berry was incomprehensible, he was just irritating with the way every syllable was emphasised.

[telecat]

As it stands All three will be out of contract within a couple of months. That leaves Wilman who I doubt will continue. Clarkson and Wilman sold the Format back to the BBC for a shed load of cash a few years ago. They probably do not need to continue. May And Hammond can do well enough on their own if needed so do not need Top Gear. As Wilman and Clarkson write it any changes would be difficult so I do not See it continuing in it's current form.

[ajprice]

Why would BBC keep to the format of Clarkson's Top Gear with 3 presenters at Dunsfold with track times, challenges, SIARPC etc. I think any new Top Gear would be new, and unrelated to what we've been watching 21 1/2 series of in all but name. Just as Clarkson's Top Gear wasn't like the half hour format of the original.

I thought Richard and James's contracts were due to expire at the same time too?

Steve coogan and Rob Brydon. It would be like the trip but with nice cars
