from wikipedia: "The White Stig was 'revealed' to be former Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher in the first episode of the thirteenth series, first broadcast on 21 June 2009. However at the end of the show this was implied to be an elaborate joke. Schumacher is also credited as the Special Guest of the episode, separately to 'The Stig'."
The stig isnt one person, they use pretty much whoever is available. Obviously nobody (at least i hope) believes Michael Schumacher has been working as the stig for all these years.
