** Hammond's Rimac crash. Unlike Hammond's dragster crash in 2006 when filming Series 9 of ''Top Gear'', which the presenters agreed not to joke about and have only mentioned sparingly since, Clarkson and May mock Hammond regarding the Rimac crash at every available opportunity. Even ''Rimac themselves'' got in on the act: in "Bah Humbug-atti", the Series 2 Christmas episode, Hammond is presented with the watch he had been wearing at the time of the crash, fire-damaged and scratched, but still working, in a display case. Rimac retrieved it from the wreckage and engraved the case with the words "Built by the Swiss, perfected by the British". Rimac's next car, the C_Two, even has an [[https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a19299046/rimac-c-two-fire-extinguisher-richard-hammond/ easter egg]] with the car's fire extinguisher mocking Hammond.
** In August 2017, Clarkson was taken to hospital with pneumonia. Given that he was in Majorca [[note]]The capital of the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain, a popular resort and holiday destination[[/note]] at the time, Hammond and May refuse to believe this and insist that he was just badly hungover after a drinking binge, and mock him about it at every chance they get. May, (much like the gag with Hammond's watch), during "Bah-humbug-atti" gives Clarkson a 'gift' of a t-shirt of the X-rays of his infected lungs. [[note]]Which, actually, showed a quite serious infection. Clarkson ultimately spent nearly two weeks in hospital, and took nearly two months to fully recover.[[/note]]
** To a lesser extent, James May keeps getting grief from the other two for having his famous long hair cut short before the recording of the tent sections.

It didn't help that in the rush to film, his arm was actually more seriously injured than anyone realized, and the sling he wore in the episode didn't support the injury correctly. After filming, he was given a more restrictive sling that helped his arm heal properly.

His segments basically revolve around him driving the car of the moment around the track, all the while complaining about how awful it is and how every car that isn't a super big powerhouse of a machine is a communist. A lot of ''Top Gear'' fans just wish they could have found someone better. Even Mike Skinner was not thrilled with the American; he left the show after complaining about how the character was not developed as promised. Acknowledged in Series 2 Episode 2, where Hammond notes that one of the reasons for the American's replacement is "because you all hated him".

** May being in a bad mood, and a decent amount of pain, because of his busted arm in "Italian Lessons" is the source of a couple jokes and the odd bit of abuse from Clarkson and Hammond, which is pretty much what you'd expect, not to mention rather funny. However, according to an interview he gave shortly after the episode had aired, James stated that his bad mood was not only absolutely genuine, but he was so fed up with his co-hosts that their conduct in that episode brought him the closest he's ever come to quitting the show right then and there.

** Hammond's Rimac crash. Unlike Hammond's dragster crash in 2006 when filming Series 9 of ''Top Gear'', which the presenters agreed not to joke about and have only mentioned sparingly since, Clarkson and May mock Hammond regarding the Rimac crash at every available opportunity. Even ''Rimac themselves'' got in on the act: in "Bah Humbug-atti", the Series 2 Christmas episode, Hammond is presented with the watch he had been wearing at the time of the crash, fire-damaged and scratched, but still working, in a display case. Rimac retrieved it from the wreckage and engraved the case with the words "Built by the Swiss, perfected by the British".
