God, thanks James for setting things straight. I couldn't bear to lose any of our boys.
Hammond has built up his popularity immensely since his brush with death in a high-speed crash for Top Gear last year.
But last night Clarkson said: ?They won?t leave. It?s the best job in the world. I?d pay to do it.?
The source said it was unlikely the pair would leave as Top Gear made them big stars.
He added: ?Who had ever heard of Richard Hammond before Top Gear??
"We are not looking for parity with Jeremy but the best deal we can secure for James," said Annie Sweetbaum, a spokeswoman for Arlington Enterprises.
Ms Sweetbaum said negotiations had "only just started" and the final figure for May was "never going to be what the BBC first offer".
