Imagine if James May was the real Stig, but drives really slowly in purpose so that nobody suspects that the Stig is actually him... XD

[@expiredpancake8198]

+azzy mazzy he revealed in a radio show that the after the first stig quit, while they where looking for a new Stig, James May was temporarily the Stig.

[@DMan-G]

+Marcello Penk-Masucci were we actually supposed to believe that Michael Schumacher was the Stig or was that a snide joke?

[@expiredpancake8198]

+dustindo I think a bit of both? It was supposed to make us think something like The Stig, at any moment, could be a legendary race car driver. But Michael did drive his FXX and set a lap as the Stig for that one episode.

[@rsafsalman]

It's kind of Schumacher driving style .. Over the top aggressive style ... That's why people say it's Schumacher...

[@911shan]

+dustindo No Michael was never the stig. He came in that show because they were testing one of the Ferrari's that he owned so he was guest starring. The real Stig for a while was actually Ben Collins.

[@flaziola]

Why has the Stig channel posted a video that the Stig isn't even in?

[@8x5t3e7s4r6y]

"No way that that's Captain Slow!" but in a very literal translation, which makes it sound kinda goofy.

[@joshuanorman2]

I thought it translates as "That is not captain slow!"

I'm not good at German, but I think if it was "not" he'd have used 'nicht', whereas 'niemals' gives that sense of 'no way' or 'never'...
