    The black FXX is the only one ever to be made that isn't red with a white stripe, it's owned by Schumacher and was given to him by Ferrari when he retired. Technically he was the stig for that episode, so therefore he is the latest current Stig, but like Nick said it's played by a number of different people and Ben Collins was revealed when Hammond had the crash in 2006. But Schumacher isn't the Stig, the BBC have had to cut the budget this year as it is.. how can they afford to pay Schumacher to record each week?

    Besides, when you buy an FXX you only get permission to drive it on Ferraris say so. So by getting Schumacher to drive it (by Ferraris permission) BBC snapped up an interview and had a bit of a joke with the whole stig identity, and at the end Clarkson did say "maybe Michael isn't the stig after all" and he was credited as Special Guest, not The Stig

    I agree with N!CK, good post. However I saw a blue FXX with a white stripe at Goodwood 2006, how come?
