Now I know why none of your comments reflect someone who has a brain. Really? You don't know who that is?

Seriously dude? You say some weird sh*t sometimes, but this is just blasphemy...

I had no clue who it was either. Big deal. I don't watch racing. I couldn't even tell you which type of racing he does.

@ acefighter: I dont like golf, but i still know who tiger woods is, moron

@Pippen: Even if you didn't know how Tiger Woods is, I wouldn't call you a moron. I've heard of Schumacher, but if I don't watch racing at all, how would I be able to pick him out of a crowd? Excuse me for not being all-knowing like you are.
Prick.

@acefeghtir, He was the highest paid SPORTSMAN in the world, and is someone who trancended his sport (or at least I thought so, you may have proved me wrong on that...) That is why I mentioned Tiger Woods, people who dont watch golf still know who he is, because he is as big as the sport itself. I congratulate you on being so proud of your ignorance, I am far from all knowing, but I have an amazing human quality of absorbing information as I experience things in the real world.
You may not have called me a moron, but you still stooped to my level, which destroys any moral high ground you may otherwise have had, but I still love you xx

That's the man in red Michael Schumaker. It explains why he can drive the F1 car in a episode.

@Jeffrey
Are you for real?
Or do they need to spell s-a-r-c-a-s-m to you? Or j-o-k-e
Of course he's not the stig. He was there to ride that ferrari around the track. You heard what they said about that car, not even people who buy it can 'have' it. Let alone let someone else besides buyers or schumi drive it.

@EU_reader - isn't that Schumi's fxx? I'm pretty sure it's his, so having him toss on the stig uniform was a forgone conclusion to keep the mystique up, everyone would have insinuated it was him were there not a reveal anyways.
sparrk 4:45AM (6/22/2009)
yes , the black FXX is Schumi's own.
MajorGeek 6:39PM (6/21/2009)
Rename this to "And the Stig is not"
Frankly, an unmask, then have his replacement walk in wearing a black stig outfit... that might be good TV.

He clearly is one of many Stigs. It makes sense that he could be him now, having retired from Pro racing. It gives him something to do, keeps him in the public's eye, etc. Its not a full time gig, either, so it doesn't get in the way of his family life.

I didn't actually watch the episode, but from wiki:
"On 21 June 2009, the identity of The Stig was supposedly revealed to be former Formula One driver, Michael Schumacher. This may just be intended as a joke or red herring in response to the rumours of his true identity. At the end of the episode Schumacher - dressed as The Stig - completed a lap in the Suzuki Liana, upon starting he stalled the car, then proceeded to awkwardly change gear several times, drove slowly and erratically on the track and ended up nearly mowing down a cameraman, implying that Schumacher is not The Stig."
