However, fans were shocked that Top Gear's promotional photo featuring the new hosts, included Schmitz wearing a t-shirt with a print of a female sign with devil horns.
Many on Twitter felt that it was offensive and unnecessary to "brand" the only female host.
F1 pundit Jordan was also thrilled to be included: "I'm giddy with excitement to be joining Chris and the team. I have such enormous respect for all my fellow presenters and I politely ask that they go easy on these old bones.
"Cars are in my DNA and although I've been fortunate enough to accomplish most things I ever aspired to in motorsport, presenting Top Gear is quite simply the icing on the cake."
Controversial host Jeremy Clarkson left the series last year after assaulting a producer. James May and Richard Hammond also signed off.
However one of the new presenters has already been left red-faced after claiming the show would "absolutely not" work without the original hosts.
Harris last year said the BBC would be "absolutely mad" for trying to continue the show with different presenters, according to The Sun.
In a blog from last March following Clarkson's suspension for punching a Top Gear producer, which sparked the departure of all three hosts, Harris wrote: "Does TG work without Jeremy? Probably not. Does it work without Richard and James too - absolutely not.
"I think the BBC would be completely mad to try and maintain the same format with three new people, but I don't doubt it will try.
"I genuinely think that if James and Richard choose not to continue then the format has to die with them. No one can ever do with it what they have, because they defined it in the first place."
Harris also said that his presenting skills were not up to Top Gear standard in another confession that could concern bosses.
He said: "The only creative rule [I] have ever consistently adhered to is to never try and be TG.
"Never try to be too funny. Don't go on adventures. Don't do anything that could usher you into direct comparison with TG because you will automatically look s***."
Meanwhile, new presenter Rory Reid has boasted on Facebook about "going after" Clarkson, sharing a picture of himself brandishing two shotguns while smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette, according to The Sun.
He captioned the 2012 picture "yippee ki yay" - Bruce Willis' catchphrase in the Die Hard films.
Friend Robert Follis commented on the snap: "Yikes, you going after Clarkson seriously then?"
Reid responded: "Taking no prisoners, Rob."
