Top Gear made a comeback with a shocking truth. Jeremy Clarkson exposed the true identity of the man behind The White Stig's helmet. And guess who?

Well, it's none other than Herr Michael Schumacher. The seven-times Formula 1 champion dressed as the show's famous driver and removed his helmet during an interview with presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

Perry McCarthy, a former Formula 1 driver, was the original Stig, wearing black overalls for his appearances. He was replaced with a new Stig, dressed in white, after he had revealed his identity in his 2002 autobiography.
