No way - the stig is much taller than schumey!

My thought is that they (Ferrari) would only let Michael drive the FXX round the track.. so he had to be the stig for that lap.

Defo not Shuey.  He's contracted to Ferrari still, for different things, He wouldnt even have time to do TG stuff.  Also the Simpson lid he had on was minus it Simpson stickers, thats cos Scumacher still has helmet sponsorship with Bell or Arai or whoever. ..........God I sound like a complete Anorak.    :-/

I suppose it could be Schuey......Stig's sense of humour is very German, i.e. Non-existant.  There are also reports of unusually high sales in Bratwursts and black leather shorts in the Guildford area.

Dunno if im being just a bit too anal but i noticed at the hammerhead when he was exciting (in the ferrari) he cut in tighter than usual and went over the bumps, whereas regular stig takes it a little bit wider to the left. Or do i just watch TG too much?
