Benneton dont sponsour them any more so its not the same sponsours etc etc etc.
Your are a disgrace to the fans and the team.

bennetton: Team Chief Flavio Briatore
Renault: Patrick Faure
Flav is now MD of Renault F1 mainly becuase he knows alot about it. Renault F1 bought the team as a whole (all assets etc etc from Bennetton) and them hired and fired people to get the balance right

Flavio Briatore was david Richards Boss and is now the managing director aswell as actually team boss.

Well i heard it was Matt Neal from BTCC, Renault could have just brought their own driver to drive the F1 car, no-one would have known any different anyway.
On a different program, Matt Neal used the Top gear track to test the Civic Type R and he seemed to know the course inside out, talking about all the bends, names of them and how to drive round them in the civic.

Why do they call him The Stig though? i might be stupid but surely if they have had 2 it can tjust be the nickname of the driver?

Why not ask the people who own the TG track??
you could even take your car around it to see if you can get around it quicker than the blind bloke
