Drive Tribe was originally a website owned by the the trio, it had sub sites ran by fans which were known as tribes.
Clarkson left DriveTribe early on, May and Richard remained involved until maybe a year ago when Richard acquired the whole lot.
What Next just didn't fit with the Drive Tribe business, I believe that resulted in Lucy Brown and possibly Drive Tribe mechanic Maxwell Millz leaving (he was officially made redundant, not sure if Lucy was merely poached) James hired Lucy for his Planet Gin channel.
Then Izzy Hammond came along and DriveTribe became, well what it is now.
Maxwell has a video on his own channel where he claims he was pushed out (or something similar; can't recall the exact words) by someone (some of the comments in that video speculated that it was Mike.
I had watched the video, couldn't remember the exact wording he used.
It's disappointing how badly Hammond's manager treated his staff and how much stuff has come out (like the MAD Ford video from Maxwell as well) since he left

I'm uninformed on all this, could you fill me in briefly at all?
Short version: On DriveTribe about 2 years ago they had a Ford Mondeo ST220 in as a project car, most of the work was done by a firm called MAD Ford who appear on screen a fair amount.
When DriveTribe took the car back it was before MAD wanted to give it back, as such it was not ready, the engine blew and the paint wasn't what it should have been. DriveTribe then threw MAD under the bus in a later video. Maxwell sat down with the owner of MAD (https://youtu.be/eM51zM6wPZE?si=w25jHmoW-EuWg69n&t=635) who explained the car went back when it was not ready.

I'm confused about the "tribes" thing.
FoodTribe turned into "What Next" which is now defunct, and DriveTribe is now just the Richard & Izzy Hammond show.

That's a bummer. That sounds like someone on the production end of DriveTribe was being a controlling bellend.

That could describe Hammond and Mike

I swear I could watch James do anything and enjoy it.
