Djalili says 'Top Gear' Stig is Hamilton

Comedian Omid Djalili has claimed that Top Gear's The Stig is F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

The identity of The Stig, who races in the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car feature on the show, has never been revealed by producers.

However, Djalili claims he has worked out that Hamilton must be the driver by questioning the show's bosses when he guested on the show.

"Do I know who The Stig is? Yes!" Djalili told Nuts. "When I was on Top Gear around two years ago, I asked the The Stig how old he was and he said, 'I'm 21' - the same age Lewis Hamilton would've been two years ago.

"And when I asked the producers who The Stig is, they said, 'All you need to know is that, in about two years' time you'll hear a lot about the person who plays him.

"They'll deny it of course because they're sworn to secrecy. I think it's part of the contract. But I'm telling you, it's Lewis Hamilton!"
