Just saw season opener...not sure what to believe. I guess its feasible, given they could use anyone for the off-track filming. I guess I was hoping it was Stuch or B. Schneider.

Nope, he just dressed in the Stig's outfit to drive his FXX. I think the Stig's taller.

Yeah, I think it was a joke, based on how it ended. Historically, Stig seemed a little "thicker". I remember a few ep. some ex F1 drivers were speculating, and I think the consensus was that based on the lines taken on the test track, Stig wasn't F1...which doesnt nec. rule out MS given the kart/sportscar exp.

Hehe, I work with a guy called Ben Collins - we had a field day when that news broke. I keep meaning to get him an 'I am not the Stig' t-shirt.

Seriously though - for those who haven't worked it out - The Stig is just a character. It isn't played by any one specific person, it let's them use whoever is available or best for the situation.

The Schumacher 'reveal' was good though (and it wouldn't surprise me if he has been The Stig a few times).

Some say he has more fanbois than Apple...
