According to the Daily Mail, ‘an announcement is imminent’.
If true, it wouldn’t be the first time the racing driver has appeared, having been a guest on the motoring show when it was helmed by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.
The BBC have been on the hunt for a new presenting team ever since Clarkson was sacked earlier this year, following his infamous ‘fracas’ with one of the show’s producers.

He is rumoured to have signed on the dotted line for £1 million a year and will also act as executive producer.
