Don't they have anti-stall systems?  Essentially the clutch automatically cuts in if the car is going to stall, so technically they don't stall at all.  Might be wrong.

I thought anti-stall just switched it to neutral.

Don't think they kangaroo because there isn't a clutch pedal to hold it around bite, F1 cars are semi-automatic and change gear in a rediculously quick time.

Hence the insanely quick lap, as it was more than likely Schumi driving it dressed as the stig...

I thought all this stig bollocks was ended years ago? When Hammond had that crash the name of the stig was in the investigation document that was released? It was some ex touring car driver or something...no-one particulalry famous.

Glad someone said it Batch. The Stig being revealed as Schumi, was one of convenience. The FXX's are Ferrari's pride and joy and the chances of Ferrari letting one out of their sight is zero. Schumacher is still a Ferrari employee and he owns/drives the only non-red (black) FXX, which was his retirement gift.

When they got the FXX round the track it was Schumi driving and they had to dress him as the Stig because the Stig does all their power laps. I think it was then that the idea leapt upon them as The Stig being Schumacher.

Can't believe they didn't get him to do a lap in the Lacetti or even give him a proper interview. I was not happy. I mean, get one of the greatest drives of all time in the studio and don't get a lap time off him or a proper interview. Cunts.
