http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_5395338,00.html But is Schu really the Stig? Monday 22nd June 2009 Michael Schumacher is The Stig. At least that's according to the latest episode of the BBC's car fanatics favourite, Top Gear. In a segment of the show, broadcast on Sunday night on BBC Two, a driver put in laps of the Top Gear track in a Ferrari FXX and promptly slashed the previous record, set by a Gumpert Apollo, by almost seven seconds as he crossed the finishing line in 1:10.7. Introducing the driver, Jeremy Clarkson, one of the show's presenters, said: "Some say that he invented the curtain, and that he recently submitted a £20,000 expenses claim for some gravel for his moat... All we know is: He's called The Stig. "He's been fed up with newspapers speculating that he's a photocopier salesman from Bolton, or lives in a pebble-dashed house in Bristol." And with that the helmet was removed... To reveal Michael Schumacher. Clarkson, though, later threw doubt on the whether the seven-time F1 Champion really is The Stig, saying: "You know what? I don't think that Michael Schumacher is The Stig." As for the BBC, an insider told The Mirror that it was "a joke" while a spokesman said: "We never reveal who or what The Stig is." Go Button!
i saw this and actually thought he was for all those episodes.I'm not fully convinced.Some inputs please.
Actually, maybe the mods can consolidate ALL the 'Stig = Schumie' threads into one place. It's a topic that seems to have spread all throughout F-chat My opinion is it's his FXX therefore he's just the Stig for a day... Jedi
