IT’s OUT!! Schumacher is the STIG!!!! 21st June 2009, on Top Gear, the Stig is finally unveiled as F1’s Michael Schumacher! The golden child of F1 graced the Top Gear set on Sunday night and finally reveled that he was in fact the tamed masked driver The Stig.
Michael Schumacher 2009 June The Stig Top Gear
Talking to Jeremy Clarkson (in a rather easy-jetesq orange blouse -how very masculine) on the Top Gear couch, Michael admitted that he in fact was the infamous Stig.
German born Michael Schumacher has won the F1 championship seven times and is hailed as one of the sport’s most statistically greatest diver of all time. Starting his career as part of Benetton saw him scoop his first two championship wins. His move to Ferrari in 1996 saw him engulf F1 with 5 consecutive wins from 2000-2004.

Joking on the Top Gear couch, Schumacher jovially corrected Clarkson stating he is banned in 9 not 12 states, admitting that he only knows two facts about ducks and dodging the question if he really punched a horse in the face.

The show ended with the Stig doing a less than impressive lap on the Top Gear test track, with an amusing abysmal sub standard effort, which saw him make a meal out of the circuit and manual gear box, going down the wrong way and rearing off the race tripod before plummeting into a dazed and bewildered camera mans tripod! More Mr. Bean than Michael Schumacher.
This one kept us fully on the edge of our seats! Thump up to this on Top Gear!!!!
