The Stig is back.
Sadly, I think the lack of information given along with this news of his check-out from the hospital indicates that Mr. Schumacher is in very, very bad shape.

Well, that’s just unfortunate.
A good friend of mine was put into an induced coma after a motorcycle racing accident. He recovered but was never the same person. Completely different personality and demeanor. I feel for Schumacher and his family.
One of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time. I don’t think the BBC show, Top Gear, has done enough to report on the famous STIG. If I were them, I’d close every show with a get well message.
