Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Lewis Hamilton vs the Stig

autoblog.com — Some say that he shaves with a chainsaw, and that he can climb the Eiffel Tower using just his lips. All we know is, he's called The Stig, and on this Sunday's episode of Top Gear he'll be racing F1 rookie sensation Lewis Hamilton on the Top Gear test track.

  • janzendavi, on 11/29/2007, -0/+55My bet is on the Stig; he knows that track like the back of his hand and has posted better times than most other F1 racers to visit the show.
  • lava, on 11/29/2007, -4/+47I want to see a race with the Stig vs Fat Stig vs African Stig.

    Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both are wrong.
  • amneosis, on 11/29/2007, -0/+38The Stig is a fantastic creation, my favourite so far was when he had to take public transport to get from west to east London, and was brought to the tube station on a trolley, loved the way he stared at the escalators and map.
  • shiftclick, on 11/29/2007, -0/+26"Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both are wrong." Classic Clarkson! The big question is: WHAT WILL HE BE LISTENING TO AS HE ROUNDS THE TRACK???? =)
  • petemcfraser, on 11/29/2007, -1/+26If I shaved with a chainsaw, I'd never take my helmet off in public either.
  • SignorDildo, on 11/29/2007, -1/+21I hear he masturbates with a handful of broken glass.
  • bossm4n, on 11/29/2007, -0/+20Prior to the rear wing being added--yes.
  • AshamedAmerican, on 11/29/2007, -0/+19Wasn't The Stig the guy who crashed a Koeingsegg (sp) CCX ?
  • asancho, on 11/29/2007, -4/+22What if Lewis Hamilton IS the stig.
    *Gasp* DUN DUN DUN!
  • inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+16Blasphemy. There shall only be one Stig.
  • UpTheToon, on 11/29/2007, -0/+15Hamilton to bottle it near the end...
  • amneosis, on 11/29/2007, -0/+14hah, the Top Gear rear wing.
  • Comanche, on 11/29/2007, -0/+11The battle we have all been waiting for! May explain why in episode 5 he slammed down the news paper as soon as he saw Hamilton on it.
  • inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+11Stig = Instawin
    retard
  • lava, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10You must be new.
  • inactive, on 11/29/2007, -1/+10motorsports section ain't too popular so it takes less diggs to get on front page
  • EvaMonkey01, on 11/29/2007, -0/+8Look at that picture, Hamilton acting like The Stig aint all that.

    YOU GOING DOWN HAMILTON, YOU GOING DOWN!!
  • Spelvin, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7The Stig in the Liana will school him :)
  • Curufir, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7The Stigg.
    Based purely on taking the Renault F1 car around that track and having the time disallowed for being insane.

  • DaviDaviDaviD, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7My money is on the Stig, you know how hard Hamiliton is going to try but Stiggy will nail him!
  • EarlOfLade, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7Yeah, that cracked me up completely!
    "Some say he is breathing fire and that his hands are made from asbestos! All we know is that he is called The Stig!"
  • brent218, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6the stig is what chuck norris wants to be when he grows up ....
  • mainfr4me, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6Just about, except his legend I think grows faster after every Top Gear episode. Some say his right nipple is shaped like the Nürburgring. Some say he is stumped by clouds. Some say he appears on Japanese banknotes. Some say if he could be bothered, he could crack the Da Vinci code in 43 seconds.
    All we know is, he's called the Stig.
  • GoatMonkey2112, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6They should do it in the Koenigsegg with no wing.
  • AshamedAmerican, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6right, I forgot.
  • aflaks, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5"Some say if he was getting a divorce from paul mccartney, he would keep his big mouth shut!"

    stig ftw
  • gsnedders, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5How long, How long must we sing this song?
  • inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5Stig is gonna kick Hamiltons Ass.
  • inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/2462/
  • AutoXer, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5You mean Kimi and Massa's setup? ;-)
  • noots, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5before you all get excited... he is just doing a run on the test track, not racing head to head like the title implies.
  • feckineejit, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3He sucks the moisture from ducks.
  • bosssmiley, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4+1. If the Stig ever spoke he'd just say "Watch and learn sonny", then leave Hamilton choking on his dust. As it is His Magnificent Silence will merely stare meaningfully at the boy racer and then proceed to do same.
    Stiggy for Transport Minister!
  • yuvrajparihar, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3ok i really dont mean to shriek like a little girl but WOWW!! ... this is gonna be bloody awesome!! ... and 5 quid says his stigness is gonna own hamilton!
  • allywilson, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3...The car is a Suzuki Liana
  • allywilson, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Yes. But with more kick.
  • Le3f, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3still exciting :)
  • Yondelldude, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Is The Stig like the British Chuck Norris?
  • manic007, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4Did anyone else see that picture of Lewis and the Stig and think:

    Stig: "The force is with you young Hamilton, but you are not a Rally driver yet. If you only knew the power of the BBC. Clarkson never told you what happened to your father?".
    Lewis:" He told me enough! He told me you killed him!"
    Stig: "No. *I* am your father."
    Lewis:":NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
  • Ultomato, on 11/29/2007, -4/+6why would he race himself?
  • buglord, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2Why the heck is he called "Stig"? What an awkward name... is it an abbreviation or acronym?
  • marksweb, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2well i guess Hamilton isn't the Stig then.
  • Raider007, on 11/30/2007, -0/+2if by best driver you mean beaches a car at a pit entrance and gives up 17 points in 2 races to Kimi thus losing the WDC, then yes... Hamilton clearly is the best driver in F1 today...
  • osarhan, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2OMG your such a nerd!!!
  • andydumi, on 11/29/2007, -1/+3Depends on the car in my opinion. But the Stig has much more experience there.
  • SebG, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2Thats why few episodes ago STIG showed the paper with Hamiltons name on it. Remember episode where Jeremy raced on a boat, hammster with a bicycle?
  • blindmelon1, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1I wonder what he'll be listening to?

    Will it be some foreign language tuition tape? or Genesis' "Dancing with the moonlit knight"....?

    The possibilities.....
  • amneosis, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1hmm this is kinda similar:

  • Thorin, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1Perry McCarthy (the F1 driver who never quite made it) was only the Stig in the first couple of series. He was the guy in the black overalls, the white overalled Stig is different.
  • ninedesign, on 11/30/2007, -0/+1I recall reading that The Stig is an ex F1 driver. I can't remember where I read it or its credentials so take it with a pinch of salt.
