    Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/sunday-sunday-sunday-lewis-hamilton-vs-the-stig/

    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. Hamilton, fresh off his second-place finish in the 2007 F1 series, sits down with Jeremy Clarkson for some witty English banter before heading out to a soggy Top Gear test track to do battle with the Stig in his tool of speed: a Suzuki Liana, otherwise known as the Aerio in our part of the world. Hamilton needs to beat the Stig's top time of 1:44.40 seconds, but it sounds like the weather and some errant oil spilled from Clarkson's VXR8 earlier in the day may spoil his plans. If you can watch current episodes of Top Gear on BBW Two, well, we hate you. The rest of us will be waiting for the episode to hit Final Gear, or perhaps putting it out of our minds until next year when they replay it in the U.S.

    Wow! Super! I cant wait!!!

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    Has anyone else heard the rumour that one of the 3 will be leaving at the end of this series?

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    ^^I dont mind if its James May. Hope its not hamilton or CLarkson.

    Dont worry! Clarkson has always put down Spain and Spaniards, German cars and Germans and if there was a car made in Lebanon car he would insult them as well if they were out of AK range.

    Italians he tolerates because he simply cant live without Pasta and Vino. He really needs to get a life and dine at a Syrian restaurant.

    His favourite 4dr? A Jag XJR of course. The Empire hasnt finished near his house yet.

    The Stig is only a stage name for any professional driver testing cars for Top gear. The original Stig left the show some time ago.

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    I believe it is James May. He is not being paid enought by the BBC. I find him very entertaining and adds an element to the show that won't be possible with just those two clowns.

    I agree that it could be James May too.

    BTW, have you guys seen his other show called Oz and James' Wine Adventure? Highly recommended!

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    I simply cannot believe that lap time Lewis achieved! On a wet and oily track. Astonishing!!

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    Impressive time in very bad conditions, he was very relaxed too. He would easily have beaten the Stig's time if the track was dry.

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    Dubious eh? I thought the Stig said that there is a 4 second difference in the laptime between the a dry and a wet lap. Hamilton did it in 1m44.9s or something in the wet which means he could have done it in 1m.40s on a dry track!? That's just seems improbable.....

    What's your everyday car?
    Lewis: a GL420
    Clarkson: what?
    Lewis: it's a diesel .It's a pimpwagen,you can fit 24inch rims and just layin back and drive....it's what you need on the road...

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    Yes, the only like for like track conditions would be Weber's 1:47.1 wet lap and he didn't have oil.

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    Very very very very fast

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    And I don't remember any of the other drivers singing to themselves whilst doing the lap - do you think he does that in a race?

    I heard it too.

    Previous conversation between hamilton and mercedes:

    "Hamilton, what do you intend to say on TG about the car you're driving?"

    "Me ... nothing, maybe that I just drive a porsche everyday"

    "Aargh! NEIN! NEIN! ACHTUNG hamilton ... ACHTUNG!. Say you drive a GL because sales are slow, and a diesel for that matter as it's the best selling GL so far..."


    "WTF is rong with you? I ain't driving no pimp car"


    "You'll survive."

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    oh, the vid of the lap is on the BBC's website - news.bbc.co.uk - 'Video & audio news' half way down the page

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    It seems it may well be James May who is leaving according to a story in the News of the World newspaper James May article

    Re: Hamilton vs The Stig on next Sunday

    Amazing episode, especially the F1 part! Also included is a BMW 330i performing a flying lap of the Top Gear track all by itself .

    LH said he was glad that FA was in the team this year as it really pushed him. Plus he said that FA was a bloody good driver.
