Thread: So who is the STIG ?

Hill drove for Williams. Also Brabham, Jordan and Arrows but won the title with Williams.

The hot rumours of who is The Stig is either Damon Hill or Jensen Button.

In a Dutch TV interview he actually spoke and sounded like Button.

There is also talk that he is a few different drivers, when the Renault F1 car was driven over the course it was Heikki Kovalainen.

For those of you who think he is wearing leather you cannot be The Stig as you would know it is a fireproof material called Nomex.

Hill himself stresses that he is not the Stig, but many continue to believe the claims.[35]

So .... NO it's not him.


I daresay it's a number of different people.
