During the Belgian GP, lap 22, just as Button overtakes Schumi (about 105 minutes in if you recorded the whole thing on Sky+), Brundle’s feverish commentary included the words “Stig against Michael Schumacher”, then he immediately reverts back to calling him Button and says something like “Button’s through!”
Was this a Freudian slip by Brundle, who might know who the new Stig is? Check the commentary. He definitely says it.

31st August 2011, 11:01 at 11:01 am #177288raymondu999ParticipantHe was just talking to Ted Kravitz. “While you were telling us that, Button was super-late on the brakes, and made the move stick on Michael Schumacher and overtakes him for 2nd place.”
Stick, not Stig ;)

31st August 2011, 11:28 at 11:28 am #177290raymondu999ParticipantSome say… he has a Japanese girlfriend…. and some say… he has a father that wears pink to Grands Prix :P
1st September 2011, 0:36 at 12:36 am #177291ob1kenobi.23ParticipantSome say he has no dandruff, some say he’s head & shoulders above the rest & some even say he has a penchant for arriving in other peoples pits, all we know is he’s called Jense.

1st September 2011, 3:49 at 3:49 am #177294AnonymousInactiveSome say…….he takes different lines to confuse people & that he’s Austin Powers love child! [Monaco Baby!!!]
:-]
1st September 2011, 14:06 at 2:06 pm #177295AnonymousInactiveSome say he has a tattoo of a button to remind him of his other identity and that Head&Shoulders does wonders for his helmet.
Sorry they really were awful!
1st September 2011, 14:26 at 2:26 pm #177296Dan ThornParticipantSome say the Stig once stopped outside the Fifth Gear studio by mistake and that 60% of the laps he does aren’t shown on TV because he was unhappy with the levels of grip…
3rd September 2011, 3:11 at 3:11 am #177297DamionShadowsParticipantLol, is it just me or should “Some say…” become it’s own thread?
3rd September 2011, 4:27 at 4:27 am #177298raymondu999ParticipantSome say… he deserves his own thread… Some say… he’s Jenson Button…
3rd September 2011, 10:59 at 10:59 am #177299AnonymousInactiveNo he ain’t…. but i know who is.
3rd September 2011, 18:14 at 6:14 pm #177300SkettParticipantI suspect he meant to say that Schumacher was the stig and got it round the wrong way (because there was an episode of top gear where Schumacher came in dressed as the stig).
Also the new stig has quite a flamboyant oversteery style, doesn’t seem very jense
