Is Schumacher the Stig?

[SandyFloor]

For anyone following Top Gear the last two seasons there has been jokes about The Stig hating and wanting to kill Rubens Barrichello cos he beat his lap time and in the last series Michael Schumacher being done up as The Stig.

Well today Schumacher just about wiped out Barrichello permanently at 180mph or so. Look how close RB was to the wall. Btw the subtitles at the end aren't correct.

You never know he may be, but i doubt it as he would have had trouble fitting filming in with his hectic F1 schedule, did you see last nights Top gear with the stig going htrough a car wash , Classic

He only did it (be the stig) one time mate, to drive a ferrari FXX.

It used to be Perry McCarthy, amongst a few others, I think the Stig probably changes quite frequently. Schumacher wouldnt be able to fit it in surley, in the years he had retired from F1 as a driver he still worked for ferrari F1.

The Stig is a character for Top gear and they did that so they can change who it is frequently. It's a range of drivers, and the one that teaches the stars on the day they do their lap is the same guy and isn't anybody from F1. He's one of their touring car drivers they use in their show from time to time. I forget his name though. And I bet still then they use a couple of guys depending on who's available.

But yeah, the Enzo FXX can only be driven by an Enzo owner. And as Shumacher has one, and has a lot to do with farrari generally, they let him drive it that day.

I did buy the domain name "michealshumacheristhestig.co.uk" when they announced it, just to collect some traffic, but never did anything with it. Booo.

I have it on good authority that there are two Stigs, my other half works with a friend of the part time Stig who lives locally to us, he does stand ins for the full time Stig, but he won't divulge who the full time one is:mad2: We'll keep trying though:smilewinkgrin:

I think he's working his bag off at the mo. He's not been on for some time and when he did come on it was just a quickie. We miss him, hope he's alright.
