Eventhough I knew it was coming, and feel like others it's a bit of a stunt, the audience seemed thrilled in seeing their once and forever racing hero as the sentient being we all feel he is.
Can M. Schumi really be The Stig? Of course he can! Just like many other drivers could be The Stig. But who else beyond Schumi would you want? He is the perfect person playing the perfect role, the ultimate answer to a global automotive mystery. Why should it be anyone else? Not like they're gonna resurrect Nuvolari from the grave.
I thought it was a touching, emotional moment. Schumi is more charming now in retirement than he ever was a full time driver. No one alive is more perfect for this role.
...I was looking at various driving body language. Ben Collins was a likely Stig because his arm are fairly elevated when he drives, much like Stig himself. And his head movement also appear Stiggish.
Look at this clip of the real Ben Collins on Top Gear and judge for yourself...

@TR3-A: I, for one, believe you. For one, I have never seen you and The Stig in the same place at the same time. And second, I read in on the internet!
The only reason Schumacher was on there was because they've wanted him to be a guest since forever, and they'll only let Ferrari employee folk drive those hi-po cars that haven't been bought by rich arab folk
@Ambiguously Unfunny Serial Killer: '00 Nissan Altima... at least it's got a stick... a horrible piece of crap that feels like it's full of rocks with the heaviest clutch I've found this side of farm equipment... but not a slushbox.
It's getting replaced as soon as finances and insurance allow, likely with something infinitely less practical, probably a Miata, hopefully a S2000, maybe a MR2, possibly a SC300 or, if I can find one that hasn't been destroyed by the ricer crowd, an AE86 Corolla or 240SX. If, for some reason, I have to have four doors IS300 (previous style).
@something_unique_and_descriptive: If you drive the SC300, or IS300 then, you can rock the Oakleys. Otherwise, you have to rock some old school Aviators.
