We watch Hammond wrestle with imposter syndrome. He is surrounded by true artisans: Anthony (the paint whisperer), Andrew (the fabrication genius), and his long-suffering business partner, Neil. Hammond wants to be one of the lads; the lads just want him to make the tea and stop trying to use the angle grinder.

For two decades, Richard Hammond was the cherubic chaos agent of The Grand Tour and Top Gear . He was the man who survived a 288-mph jet-car crash, turned a Reliant Robin into a makeshift rocket, and somehow made wearing a helmet look like a personality trait.

"It’s not about the crashes anymore. It’s about the come-up."

If you love cars, watch it for the metal. If you love people, watch it for the man learning to weld his shattered ego back together.

But in 2021, Hammond did something unexpected. He stopped driving away from destruction and started driving toward a new life.
