Top Gear is back! Great! For the first episode they promised to reveal the true idendity of the Infamous “Stig”

the stigIn an interview with Clarkson, the stig removed the helmet to reveal non other than F1 Champion Michael Schumacher.

If you believed it, then I’m sorry to disapoint but its just not true. The current stig has been donning white overals since 2003 when the previous stig Perry McCarthy revealed his identity in his autobiography. Schumacher was in F1 until 2006. Nuff said.

The other clue was the lap in the Ferrari FXX, that was a full 7 seconds quicker than anything else around the top gear track. The BBC have confirmed the obvious, that it was Schumacer did the lap. Which also shows that he is alot better than the real stig.
