are we supposed to be forming pilgrimages and prostrate ourselves in front of this statue like he is some sort of helmeted godlike figure? Some say the Stig can take the form of a giant statue

It's just to give it a more dramatic look.

One of Top Gear's editing styles is where a film/segment starts off in a wider ratio (usually with soft airy music), which then opens up to 16:9 ratio for dramatic effect.

Like you said they've used that edit trick in the past such as the MP412C review and the 458 but it stuck to the letterbox ratio.

I prefer Hammond's review segments over Clarkson's and May's...and I don't agree with him that the Huracan looks tame. I don't like its rear end but hey it's functional so I can't fault the carmakers.

Did anyone else notice towards the end of the episode how much dust was inside the cabins of the cars?
I wonder if it was from them constantly opening the doors and windows or if the dust is so fine that it got past the cabin filter.

Cool episode, watched it with my wife since nothing else aired last night, and she enjoyed it. 
Even the star was an actual star instead of some BBC geek

They haven't had too many no name stars show up for the hot lap in years.
Except for when they have a new car and call a bunch of less famous people. Except for Rachel Riley and Jack Whitehall, everyone on the current lap board is a recognizable name and the previous leaderboard with the Kia Cee'd is full of big names.
And it's weird to see Kiefer Sutherland so cheerful when we're used to watching him yell "TELL ME NOW!!!!!" while choking out some turrurists.
