Chris Harris, Sabine Schmitz and David Coulthard 'Confirmed' As Top Gear Hosts
After a very difficult gestation period it appears that the new version of Top Gear might not be as bad as many critics have made out. The Sun has reported that after much deliberation, Chris Evans has picked Chris Harris, David Coulthard and German racing driver Sabine Schmitz to join him as the show’s new hosts.
This decision hasn’t come easy, with The Sun reporting that this choice led to executive producer Lisa Clark (the replacement for Andy Wilman) and script editor Tom Ford leaving the show. A source for The Sun said that Lisa’s departure had “been a real shock” and caused “a lot of upheaval” within the production team.
Although the press has reported that Harris and Schmitz are complete ‘unknowns’, we know just how good this show could really be. It’s hard to predict just how the new hosts will interact on camera, but with this level of talent and online support, new Top Gear could be a force to be reckoned with!
So, is the announcement of three new incredible hosts enough to convince you to tune into the new show? Let us know!

My ideal line up would have been: Chris Harris, Matt Farah and Alex Roy - I’ve been saying that for a long time. Well, at least I got Harris!
I love Chris Evans, and I feel like this show is going to blow the old one out of the water. Also who is this Chris Harris???
No one likes a try hard
Chris Harris.. Yeap.. Even more side drift
Best lineup they could have hoped for. I’m happy for Harris as I’m sure he’ll have a very nice contract. Sadly Sabine and coulthard, while great drivers, are a bit dry on personality. I miss the douchebaggery between the original 3.
Still skeptical let’s see how it turns out
Chris Harris will make it really exciting.
Top Gear my arse (james may style)
It could be me, i like the fact Chris and Chris are in it… but didn’t Sabine use to be the enemy (TG vs. Germany?)
She can drive a van a top speeds doesn’t mean she can judge any car or present a show.
Well what qualified clarkson and the others initially?
So it’s gonna be more fifth gear than top gear.. meh
