I heard it was Damon Hill. Mind you, Michael Schumacher's probably looking for work now, isn't he? Or what about Maureen from "Driving School"?

Ben Collins???? WTF is that? Never heard of him! Sounds like a BSM driving instructor! No wonder he was impressed with Lewis Hamilton's driving.

I once spoke to Jason Plato, and he told me that the stig is not just one person.

s/he has a mirror inside his visor, that's why you haven't noticed
