Same here. I did a little googling and can’t find any corroborating evidence, but I also learned that Hammond’s Grand Tour insurance premiums are now more expensive than Top Gear’s budgets were for entire specials.

That has to be the real reason they've canceled Grand Tour

I mean… given that he has had two very well documented and life-threateningly catastrophic crashes in the course of making car shows… the insurance company underwriting his policies isn’t out of line.

I figured insuring him would be expensive, but it’s more the magnitude of his premiums that shocked me.
