The big news of the week so far has been nothing political, hasn't involved Wimbledon or the rugby.

Instead the unveiling of Top Gear's stunt driver, The Stig's, identity has created a big splash. The Stig was revealed to apparently be Michael Schumacher.

The story was a big media hit with coverage appearing in places such as the Guardian, the Mirror and Digitalspy, but also featured on websites worldwide.

The big reveal is a fantastic PR stunt, attracting plenty of attention to fact that the new series of Top Gear is about to start and undoubtedly drawing viewers.

The Stig's identity had previously been shrouded in mystery and subject to lots of speculation. Clearly, Michael Schumacher is not The Stig and the mystery remains.

The stunt is also a nod to Top Gear's sense of humour, one that keeps non-petrolheads watching week after week. Even me.
