The Stig is Schumacher!
The BBC's long running bad ass car show Top Gear marked a new milestone: The unveiling of The Stig! You know the helmet wearing mute, who communicates only by the revs of the cars he drives in and performs fast lap times!
¶ 03:07 
On the programme, the Stig was asked to remove helmet, only for it to be revealed that he is in fact none other than Formula 1 living legend, Michael Schumacher!
Reception has been generally mixed with some arguing that it was done only to introduce Schumacher's only interview for Top Gear, while others believe that Michael truly was burning laps after retiring from the game.
Either way, it was a well executed piece of television that will be remembered for years to come.
