Jeremy Clarkson breaks silence on new Grand Tour hosts with blunt warning

Jeremy Clarkson issued a "sweary warning" to the new Prime Video hosts—Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman, and Thomas Holland—during a visit to his Diddly Squat Farm ahead of The Grand Tour's September return.
Amazon announced the show's return earlier this year after the original trio—Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May—concluded their 2016–2024 run on the motoring series.
Despite his earlier "sweary" comments, Clarkson expressed confidence in the new team, telling the audience, "I've actually been watching what they've been up to for the past year and a half, and they're very, very good."
The new series promises "big adventures, questionable car choices, and plenty of laughs," with episodes featuring tests in California, travel through the Angolan desert, and exploration of Malaysia's vibrant car culture.
Addressing the new trio directly, Clarkson advised Bourgeois, Engelsman, and Holland, "Listen, guys. Seriously, have fun with this," as they assume leadership of the motoring franchise.
