Michael Schumacher - The STIG!

So tonight, the first episode of Season 13 of Top Gear aired on BBC UK. For those of you who caught it, the stig was revealed as Michael Schumacher.... I dont know if i totally buy it though?

What do you guys all think? Could this possibly be the last season of Top Gear??

It couldn't possibly be Schumi.

The Stig was taping episodes during at least 5 of Schumacher's championship seasons. How could he possibly have made the time?

Also, when Schumi walked in just then, I could tell it was him from the body language. Anyone who really knows Schumi could have told a long time ago that it was him. He has a very recognizable gait.

It wasn't Schumi the whole time.

We watched the British GP on a new Internet stream that showed the Top Gear episode just after the GP. I bet you can see it there.

Look at the first post in the live banter thread for the link. I know Alzilla watched it on there.

That should be the Pit-Stop post of the year.

Yeah. It worked like a charm. Almost too good to be true.

I hope it lasts. I am willing to give up SPEED HD totally and watch all the rest of the races through that stream.

GREAT CALL.

I watched a documentary on him like 6-7 times on a flight to Germany a few weeks ago and DEFINITELY could tell that was his walk when he was approaching the stage.
