Finally, after years of speculation -- The Stig has been unveiled live on Top Gear!
Press play and find out who the man behind the mask is…
Asked by Jeremy Clarkson to take off his helmet, revealing F1’s now 40-year-old seven time world champion Michael Schumacher. Clarkson jokingly asked the famous German what his name was before he became famous as The Stig, but Schumacher answered: “You have to have some secrets”.
The true identity of The Stig was leaked by the press earlier this year as 33-year-old Ben Collins. Speculation was not confirmed by the BBC and it remains rumoured that the character is actually played by multiple drivers. A spokesman for the TV network did confirm that Schumacher was The Stig for the Ferrari segment, but that otherwise the truth would remain “a mystery”.
