[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

Thanks To Izzy for coming on! If you need help with Digital Marketing for your business remember i have my own agency and a very talented team! Check out our recent work - www.tweakuk.com/

Izzy's a great addition to Drivetribe. As a fan before and after, i think the comments reflect what we're all thinking, that we really like her - and her interaction with Richard and Mike is great. Love the father daughter thing too, as a dad of a daughter myself, it's a nice thing!

Nah. She’s a nepobaby, and about as interesting as dish water.

[@mountain_walker]

Izzy always comes across well. She's level-headed, witty and grounded. She's aware of the fortunate position she's in but never comes across as entitled. She's a good egg, you can tell and I wish her a successful career.

[@reggiecoupe]

Izzy, love how open and honest you are, it's refreshing to see a young lady who is opening the car world to another audience, my 11 year old Daughter is into everything and she seems to benefit from seeing ladies like yourself being ideal role models. Thank you and hope you have a long and successful career.

[@HesBack420]

Izzy is a great addition to drivetribe, seems like a nice and down to earth person her parents should be proud.

[@cameron_stansfield]

What I’ve gathered from this is that James and Jeremy were exactly off screen as they were on screen, constantly keeping communication and cutting the bullshit to Izzy and Mindy through the hard times must have been invaluable no matter how bad the news was. Personally I think Izzy is a great addition to Drivetribe and there will always be jealousy but Izzy is a character and benefitted from watching Richard so it really works well

[@dbgaming8172]

I think this is one of the best interviews you have done. Izzy is a great addition to drivetribe and the automotive youtube world. She is showing girls it's okay love cars and it's not just for us lads! Hopefully meet her at a track day one day that would be awesome!

[@tony66au]

About bloody time Ben! Izzy is an absolute treasure and you can see much of Richard in her style and personality, Add the Country girl sensibility, mischief and drive and you have a very engaging personality on so many levels :-) Awesome interview and I look forward to more Izzy on my screen!

[@hitec007]

We all owe so much to Hammonds Wife! She made all our Topgear dreams come true! Bless her!

[@nandux586]

They're getting divorced. 🙁

[@colind4607]

@hitec007 why do we have to thank the soon to be ex Mrs Hammond??? Maybe you are thinking we should be thanking Richard Hammonds parents... His soon to be ex wife has nothing to do with TopGear... We should be truly thanking Mr J Clarkson And Andy changing and making TopGear watchable and enjoying the finish product

[@JohnVella1968]

​@@colind4607never underestimate the power of having a partner who supports you. I worked in IT for 25 years before announcing that I'd had enough, and my wife immediately said, "ok, what do you want to do next?" and she was by my side every step of the way. I don't think I'd have done it without her. I'm quietly confident, and hopeful, that Richard would speak equally highly of his wife.

[@TurtleSodadrives]

Izzy is a fresh breath on the car scene and i love her content so much. Hope she keeps at it for ages and ages!

[@richardcolver8136]

Izzy. Take no notice of the nepo comments. Be as good as you can be , work hard and it’ll all be ok. The harder you work the luckier you get!

[@richardashton5015]

Simp

[@ScottXC91]

Absolutely love Izzy’s contributions. It’s so easy to see someone who’s the child of a famous person and assume they’ve just been given what they have. She absolutely commands that she deserves to be where she is. Absolutely brilliant presenter.

[@pauljarman7452]

Honestly when she first came on it was like oh God another daughter hanging on to the pig tails of parents! But she really is funny and seems genuinely good person to watch. It's kind of fresh to watch that she is honest that she doesn't know instead of trying to bs it!

[@user-cy3fm9nj9b]

Ok so I've never commented on a KZbin video. I am a longtime fan of Top Gear and Grand Tour. I truly miss the three guys together. I genially believe Izzy has a great on screen presence. I have enjoyed seeing you and your Dad together. I wish you the best and please continue. I will support you. A friend from the States. Alex

[@skyd8726]

Mindy needs the biggest respect! Raising great kids, being head of the house - especially with Rich away so much and those terrifying times after accidents, let alone the daily grind of life. Kudos.

[@garysphotography]

Please get Richard Hammond on the pod love the content

[@angelamouland8012]

I have never watched this channel before. I only watched the video because of Izzy being in it. But what a great interviewer, very impressed with he empathy but direct questions too.

[@jgcampbell59]

Thanks so much Izzy for all your sharing! My wife and I love watching your content, and have always been a big fan of your Dad. It is so awesome to see Richard enjoying seeing his daughter excel! That's all a parent can hope for! So sorry you had to go through that with your dad's wreck... I went through that with my own father being very ill (brain tumor) it's tough. But it's so brilliant to see how it has increased the depth of your relationship. You have a GREAT Dad (and Mum)!

[@chloehennessey6813]

More Isabella and Tati showing more girls and ladies that WE CAN BE INTO CARS as well and there is nothing wrong with it. That was such a great episode.

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

Tati is also due to come on the Podcast! :)

[@srlebalesh]

Thank you, Izzy, for mentioning your dad's involvement with TV show Brainiac, because I used to watch him on that show. And most certainly, I think that he was and is a proper host for that show.

[@TomGayler]

I didn't know the custard in a swimming pool was actually the Hammond home until a recent upload on Drivetribe! Richard on Brainiac was definitely the best period of the series, I read it got difficult though, to juggle Top Gear and Brainiac.

[@allanreardon]

Izzy is awesome. Such a great addition to Drivetribe but this interview also shows what a well rounded individual she is.

[@MINKIN2]

It's always enjoyable seeing someone come in to a "hobby" that you share and getting to see that new found passion again. Izzy joining Drivetribe has been great to see, and the father daughter dynamic is wonderful too.

[@RandomHeroSpotting]

This has to be one of my favourite interviews you have done! Izzy is a truly honest, charismatic person and you can truly see her shine as a person outside being Richard Hammond's daughter! A lot of stories, a lot humbleness from her. Drivetribe definitely stepped up with her inclusion! I wish her all the best and all the best luck with her growth from Horse girl to car lover! You had some amazing questions too Ben, true professional and was amazing to watch!

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

Wow, thank you!

[@RandomHeroSpotting]

@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast very welcome! Keep up the Stella work 💜

[@idaklymr]

From the other side. I have a daughter who is 23 and I'm 50. The girl i raised was shaped by her classmates and teachers but she was not in charge of who she was. But about 3 years ago she came to visit from college and she was different. It was like she sat down and figured out who she wanted to be what she valued. When we talked it was almost like meeting a stranger. It is beautiful to see who she is

[@IDk-4q6]

Nice interview Ben! Izzy, thanks for opening up about your childhood and your feelings about women racing and loving cars. I'm a young woman who's a car/F1 enthusiast and you're becoming a very inspiring role model for me. Thank you.

[@MrInglisway]

Fantastic interview, you probed , interrogated (in a good way) and showed both sympathy and what's often missed empathy. Subscribed.

[@chrissumner325]

I felt a connection between the two during the interview 😍

[@ferkle1980]

What an absolute joy Izzy is. Great conversation, and you can see in her entire demeanour, she has the bug... BADLY. Really enjoyed this one Ben.

[@Mainstayjay]

I very much enjoy Izzy and Richard collabs on Drivetribe! I noticed how happy they seem to be when together in videos. My daughter is young still, but I hope that we will have a relationship like those two when she's older. I haven't listened to much of it, (yet) but their Who We Are Now podcast is something that I find quite interesting. I also want to mention that I enjoy when Izzy and Mike Fernie do videos together! I wish all of them success with their future endeavors! Now that I've heard that watching a video from start to finish is what helps a video gain traction, it's what I will do from this point on. Especially here on your channel Ben! Thanks for top notch entertainment!

[@GavinComer]

Excellent Vid, Enjoying Izzy and Richard together and her vids and interviews. Keep going Izzy

[@Jw20000]

Perfect timing for this video to blow up given the current sad news. I really like how she carries herself. I know the obvious scripted content she is involved with, can be at times tongue in cheek, but as a person, I think Rich and Mindy did a good job with Izzy. I hope they can be just as good family unit albeit differently shaped going forward. All the best both 👍

[@michaelbeahn5977]

Great guest! I’ve been enjoying Izzy’s journey on Drivetribe so much, especially when her and Dad do videos together. Being Richard’s age and having daughters Izzy’s age just make it so sweet to watch for me. She’s really coming into her own.

[@chazzerssquash114]

Great interview. Izzy has really gained so much confidence over the months and has grown into a great presenter. Richard must be very proud of you. Great addition to Drivetribe.

[@stephanieonlife3657]

I lost my entire family. I almost lost my life from a car crash. Now I am dealing with cancer. However I am proud of you getting into cars. My father was in cars and raced with my mom in car rallies. I have a deep connection with the car culture especially in Rural America. I have Traumatic Brain injuries from head Trauma. Getting on with life is difficult. I thought this while watching this video.

[@badmatt4162]

Izzy's videos are enjoyable because of the refreshing enthusiasm - she hasn't done all of this before, so everything seems genuine. Seeing the "old guard" do the same thing over and over frankly gets boring, watching a new person who seems genuine and just wants to learn and to have some fun with it is far more entertaining even if maybe they are not as knowledgeable as the others.

[@georgezachos7322]

I'm 45 years old and have been watching the trio, forever. I like Izzy. She still needs a lot of work, but the bones are there. I think she can do really well, but years will need to pass before she finds her own distinctive style. I wish her the best!

[@CarlosMartinez-du1cu]

Great podcast, Izzy is such a normal down to earth person I think her and Mike can really do wonders for Drive Trive. It’s great to see this new generation of car enthusiasts.

[@cliff8669]

Props to Izzy for doing this and laying herself open. Takes courage.

[@matthewyoung3942]

Izzy is an absolute breath of fresh air in the Automotive YT space and she is doing the exact same any of us would do given the same opportunities and to be fair she's probably doing a better job of it than the vast majority of us could do it. She has a natural talent for it, she has the opportunity she absolutely has a right to have a go at it so I hope she continues to embrace it.

[@Vampirebear13]

The best thing Izzy has ever done is the video where she & Willow are riding in the truck with their Dad while trying to do their makeup & finished up looking all wrecked. That was both brilliant & hilarious.

[@Opensourcerer12]

Wow, this girl genuinely loves her dad. Uts so refreshing to see

[@darrenspence7812]

When I first saw Izzy doing content and her old man encouraging it, I thought .here we go 🙄 but actually, I’ve really enjoyed following her progress! I think it’s the honesty and no F’s given attitude that makes her authentic and enjoyable to watch!

[@ChrisBWelch]

Izzy is lovely, she's a well rounded young woman who comes across as really genuine. I really enjoy seeing her and Richard on screen and I'm hoping I can meet them at Drivetribe this summer! This interview was excellent. Great stuff!

Richard and Mindy haven't split up

[@Milsolen]

Drivetribes video with izzy and richard in the mini was very enjoyable. I love how izzy is just a little energy ball and keeps the video refreshing. Especially the coöperation with her dad.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Izzy addressed the "Nepo" sentiment perfectly towards the end of segment. This was brilliant, a good handful of genuine questions that yielded honest answers.

[@marksargent2440]

I was never into top gear yet my younger brother loved it .its only recently i have been watching clarksons farm. That i have decided to look at top gear three guys taking the piss out of each and yet having a love for cars and being able to test different cars. As for richard james and Jeremy its a case of what you see is what you get. I recently watch this young lady and her dad pure bliss and a dad and daughter having lots of fun all the best to them all thay deserve the credit for what thay have done on KZbin and msm

[@corycrandell2682]

What a lovely girl. Hammond raised a great kid. I wish her well.

[@alexpervanoglu7420]

Izzy should be proud of herself. She has a great attitude to life and deserves to be where she is. Sure her father's contacts and position have helped but without her genuine interest in cars, her level headed and entertaining personality and the effort she puts in, she could easily not be where she is today. I wish her lots more years of success.

[@archmage7813]

I'm glad that she pointed out how luck is important. No you don't make your own luck unfortunately luck is what you have what you do with your luck is what you make. And she's absolutely right she had luck to get where she is what she does with that is what decides who she is. Richard Hammond got lucky to get his job but it was his talent that made top gear become huge and give him a career instead of just a short job.

[@Danny84.]

I enjoy watching you on drive tribe izzy, your very bubberly and you are funny. It's class to see you with your dad on there to. Keep up the hard work 🙅‍♀️😊
