think this is a publicity stunt. Cannae believe a guy like Schumie would come over to cold and wet Engerland once a week to do speed tests in various cars for the show... :rolleyes:

Good interview by Clarkson tho and some interesting answers by Schumie. :thumbs up:

Im reckon it would of been because Ferrari would of only let schumacher drive the FXX round for a 'hot lap'...oublicy stunt is whats being speculated elsewhere

I think its a few different guys, but schumacher does fit quite well.
He gets to drive nice cars without the press hassle, or the stresses of having to win races.

Also, topgear is filmed at an airport and it is a working airport, a plane took off while we were there, and schumacher owns and pilots his own plane.


Also, that ferrari blew up, we couldn`t see the track from the carpark but could hear it going round, then the engine noise stopped and a plum of black smoke appeared.

defo not Shumie, not a chance in hell.
He must have fell into his last 99,000,000 and needed a top up!

I agree with Ryan - Ferrari probably wouldn't release their million pound FXX to the usual Stig to drive.

There is no way Schumacher is the Stig.

Enjoyed the show though - glad it's back!

Exactly what I said last night when I was watching. He is still on the books for Ferrari.

Apparently that was Michael's personal FXX, only one made in black

I'm with Birdog that I think there is more than one Stig. Shummie may have done it for that one show though.
