The Stig's famous white helmet comes off....
The British version of Top Gear has just returned to air for its 13th season last night and boy did "the three musketeers" (Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May) have the studio audience all worked up with a surprise unmasking of tame racing driver, the Stig!
And believe it or not, it was the face of legendary F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher that appeared beneath the famous white helmet.
What a coup for Top Gear UK and an unbelievable way to start off another season of the world's most popular motoring show. Sure, the odds of Schumi actually being the full-time Stig is as slim as, well, getting laid with Jessica Alba, but props to TGUK for another hilarious and complete unexpected take on one of the net's most hotly debated topics: Who is The Stig?
...and its Michael Schumacher!!!
We're no closer to finding out the real identity of the Stig but this gag will be talked about for quite some time to come.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering why Schumacher was on Top Gear - he was behind the wheel of a Ferrari FXX for a hot lap around the Top Gear test track. Check out the video and stunning lap-time below!
