Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakakahoretia e Richard Hammond te hokinga mai ki Top Gear, hei kaiwhakaari whakamutunga ki te wehe i te whakaaturanga motokā i tana oati: 'Kaore au e whakarere i aku hoa'. I tetahi atu whiu nui ki te BBC, i haere te kaiwhakaari ki Twitter ki te whakaatu kaore ia e hoki mai ki te raupapa rongonui. I puta te whakapuakitanga i te wa i whakaekehia ai e te kaiwhakanao whakahaere o mua o te whakaaturanga a Andy Wilman he whakaekenga kino ki nga 'kaiwhakahaere o te BBC' i roto i te tuhinga a Top Gear Magazine, i whakaputaina i tenei ra. Inanahi, ka mutu te mahi a Mr Wilman, he hoa o te tamarikitanga o Clarkson i te kaporeihana - e whakaoho ana i nga whakapae kei te whakarite te kapa ki te whakarewa i tetahi whakaaturanga rite ki tetahi kaiwhakaputa whakataetae. I kitea hoki nga tangata e korero ana i te whare o Clarkson i te hauauru o Raanana, i to raatau putanga tuatahi mai i te wa i peia ai te kaiwhakaari mai i te whakaaturanga mo te 'whakakahoretanga' me tetahi kaihanga. I te pō o inanahi, i kitea a Clarkson e inu ana i tētahi inu ki ōna hoa i tētahi pā o te uru o Rānana. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata.

I haere a Hammond ki Twitter ki te whakapuaki e kore ia e 'whakakore i aku hoa' a Jeremy Clarkson raua ko James May. I kitea a Jeremy Clarkson e inu ana me ōna hoa i te pō whakamutunga, i te tū ki tētahi whare inu i te uru o Rānana i muri i tana hui ki ngā kaihautū o mua o Top Gear, a Richard Hammond rāua ko James May, tae atu ki te kaiwhakanao a Andy Wilman. Ko Clarkson (i kitea e inu ana i tētahi inu ki tētahi rōpū inanahi i te ahiahi) me Mr Wilman i whakaekehia kia utua he kaiwhakaari wahine i te tau 2002 e te BBC, e ai ki te kaiwhakanao. Ko Mr Wilman (i whakaahuahia me Clarkson, Hammond me May inanahi) kua whakaekea e ia te whakaeke kino ki te BBC 'whakapohehe' i te ra kotahi i muri i tana wehenga mai i te whakaaturanga. Whai muri i te rerenga o nga panui nui, i wahia e Hammond i tenei ra tana nohopuku, i te tweeting: 'Ki te maarama i waenga i enei korero katoa mo te' whakarere 'ranei kaore ranei: kaore he mea hei' whakarere'maku.

Kua riro a Richard Hammond hei kaihautū whakamutunga hei wehe i Top Gear. Ko te kaiwhakanao o mua a Andy Wilman i whakapae hoki ki a BBC mo te 'whakaru' i te whakaaturanga. Ko te whakaeke i roto i te Top Gear Magazine i puta i te ra i muri i tana wehenga mai i te BBC. I kitea a Jeremy Clarkson e whakatakoto ana i ta rātau nekehanga ka whai ake nei i te whare kai i te pō nei.
