Richard Hammond and Andy Wilman
Richard Hammond said he recently asked Andy Wilman whether the four of them could ever work together again.
Andy Wilman paused before answering and said he saw no reason why it could not happen.
He described The Grand Tour as a project that suited the people involved at a particular time.
According to Richard Hammond, the show worked because it matched where they were in their careers and how they wanted to work.

That fit shaped the tone of The Grand Tour and also defined its natural endpoint.
Hammond explained the idea using a simple comparison.
He said the show was like an old coat that only fits the person who wore it.
The point was practical rather than sentimental. That version of the show belonged to that group and could not simply be reused without changing what it was.
Richard Hammond said repeating the same format would not make sense.
Any future work involving The Grand Tour name would need to reflect current circumstances rather than rely on past success.

He also addressed physical reality directly.
Hammond referred to age and limitations without embellishment.
The comment framed any future project as something that would need a different scale and approach.
Throughout the discussion, Richard Hammond avoided speculation.
He did not refer to planning, ideas, or informal conversations beyond the exchange with Andy Wilman.
After the Grand Tour
The Grand Tour continues to shape how Richard Hammond is viewed, even after its conclusion.
He did not speak about reviving the show or returning to earlier formats. His focus stayed on working relationships rather than branding.
Andy Wilman remains central to that history. As the producer behind The Grand Tour and Top Gear, he saw these projects from start to finish.
His response acknowledged the possibility without pointing toward any next step.

Richard Hammond said nothing further has been discussed.
He stated clearly that he does not know what could happen in the future, if anything.
Richard Hammond’s comments suggest that any future collaboration with Andy Wilman would take a different form and reflect where the people involved now stand, including figures such as Jeremy Clarkson and James May.
