oh... that's not surprising... yet unexpected. I'd expect him being suspended because of public opinion, but not from another producer of the show.

Haha, we'll see how long that sticks. You don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs. Econ 101 right there.
Is he a douche? Yea probably... Do we expect his world views to be progressive and correct? Hell no... Do we love him anyway? Absolutely.

If Clarkson swung on a producer, try not to forget, the producer is also a co-worker. Most workplaces have a zero tolerance policy for matters like this, so it's likely that Clarkson had to be suspended during the investigation. It's probably not a matter of political correctness or the BBC not knowing Clarkson's value, but instead a legal matter about non-threatening work environments.

Simple, make him drive a Leyland all season. That will teach him a lesson.
