2 reasons Stig is not Schumacher
1, When Schuey stood next to Jezza he was slightly taller than Jezza's shoulder but the real Stig stands next to Jezza even with helmet on he only just reaches shoulder height
2, Because the BBC is publicly funded they have to list all people working for them, their position and salary. For TG Ben Collins is the only person listed as being "High performance tester and Celebrity instructor". If you search on youtube for Stig there is an in car vid of him showing a celebrity round the track and you can clearly hear a Bristol accent, Ben being born and still living in Bristol.
Other little bits of info...
In jan 2009 a small article in The Times stated that there had been a low key court case stating that The Daily Telegraph had breached a confidentiality clause in printing an article officially naming Ben Collins as Stig
When TG got an exclusive worldwide test of a prototype Ascari A10 le mans sportscar Jeremy stated they only got it because one of the team had contacts with Ascari. BC was the development driver for Ascari and is still their official sportscar race driver.
It is public Knowledge that their is a clause in Stig's contract stating that if anyone reveals his identity officially that the contract will be terminated and a new colour Stig hired.
I think the biggest clue that it isn't Schumacher was at the end of the episode when Jezza laughed and said " I dont think Schumacher is Stig ". The whole thing was a smoke and mirrors affair to "reveal Stig" while giving a semi plausable reason for Schumacher driving the FXX
