1st: I'm surprised it took this long for the story to get posted here, you guys are slacking.
2nd: I think it's just another Top Gear ploy. Schumi has a different gait than the real Stig.

However, the true identity of The Stig was unmasked by the press earlier this year as 33-year-old Ben Collins, although the speculation was not confirmed by the BBC and it remains rumoured that the character is actually played by multiple drivers.
A spokesman for the British broadcaster, meanwhile, confirmed that Schumacher was The Stig for the Ferrari segment, but that otherwise the truth would remain "a mystery".

Most likely the truth. They probably have a few drivers who get picked based on the production schedule and the driver's racing commitments. Then there's the Truckin' Stig, the Stig's African and American Cousins, ...it remains rumoured that the character is actually played by multiple drivers.

I was actually the American Stig. I couldn't tell you guys because of the confidentiality agreement... But since they didn't renew my contract, screw them. The secret is out. BTW-Hammond really is like 4'8, I signed him into the Jockeys Guild.
