Actually, I don't think that's him. There's no way they would reveal him. Schumacher is an amazing driver, but I don't really think that's him.

I just watched the episode tonight. Go to finalgear.com and download the episode. You'll need Bit Torrent.

It seems like at the end they're leading us to believe that Schumacher is not actually the Stig, but who knows? In the off season Ben Collins claimed to be the Stig but it was not proven either way. Then Top Gear did a few features on their website claiming several people were the Stig as jokes. It's really hard to tell who is. Schumacher is the same size and shape as the Stig, but beyond that obviously there is no way to tell.

The prevailing rumor has been that since they killed off the black Stig there has been no dedicated Stig, but instead several race drivers performing the role.

Schumacher and the Stig don't quite have the same walk. But then again, who out there would be qualified to drive the FXX? For all we know they could blatantly tell us "this is 100% the Stig" and we'd still have our doubts haha.

Speaking of the FXX wow that was an insane time. I was more shocked by the time the FXX ran than the "revealing" of the Stig's identity.
