Is The Stig Lewis Hamilton (probably not)

Comments (1)

whoisthestig.jpgThere's no doubt about it. The Stig from Top Gear is a bona-fide Small Screen Icon. People have scratched their bonces trying to work out who the hell he is. Some say that he's a load of different people as he's just too good... comedian Omid Djalili thinks that The Stig is F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. Wha'?!

Djalili claims that he's worked out that Hamilton must be the driver by questioning the show's bosses when he guested on the show. Djalili told Nuts; "When I was on Top Gear around two years ago, I asked the The Stig how old he was and he said, 'I'm 21' - the same age Lewis Hamilton would've been two years ago. And when I asked the producers who The Stig is, they said, 'All you need to know is that, in about two years' time you'll hear a lot about the person who plays him. They'll deny it of course because they're sworn to secrecy. I think it's part of the contract. But I'm telling you, it's Lewis Hamilton!" Surely Lewis has a diary a bit too full to be mucking about with Clarkson & Co?

The Stig on Top Gear is usually ex-ASCAR driver Ben Collins although sometimes private owners are The Stig. The old Stig was ex-F1 driver Perry McCarthy.
