If you’re reading this, you probably already have a vague idea about who The Stig is, not his identity but what he does and who he works for. The resident driver of Top Gear tests almost every car that Jeremy Clarkson and his boys can get a hold of and helps trash them, sorry, test them. The identity of The Stig has been a closely guarded secret among the producers of Top Gear and with such a wide audience and fan base, there is always speculation as to who The Stig really is, and now one British celebrity claims to know who he is.
A segment of Top Gear called “a star in a reasonably-priced car” is where guests of the show work with The Stig to perfect their hot lap. None of the guests have ever revealed his identity until Comedian Omid Djalili broke the ice. He is insistent that The Stig is actually Mclaren’s star driver, Lewis Hamilton. His revelation is based on speculation garnered from speaking to The Stig, who supposedly revealed his age to the comedian, and with the show’s producers, who insisted two-years ago that the true Stig would become famous by now.
It all makes sense, but I’m still not convinced, I doubt Lewis has the time to be The Stig, and wasn’t Lewis recently on the Top Gear show? Who was helping him out then? And I hear that he was slower than The Stig by a fraction of a second, in the rain. So is The Stig really Lewis Hamilton? I don’t think so.
