the same complain is everywhere once people find out how much the " other " is making.
when you sign up for a job the salary is part of the offer, if you consider your services worth more, negotiate a better salary BEFORE signing up, not a year later when you find out someone else is making more and get mad about it.

He has no right of being mad at the fact that someone else is making more than him, he was fine with that money when the offer was presented to him, there should have been no crying now.

Stig does not present as previously mentioned. His entire character gets maybe 1min 30s air time on the show. Other 3 are shown (minus commercials) at least for 43 minutes of commercial free show time either together or separately. Should stig have "more" presence on the show? Only if he races more cars. If Stig were to talk or his personality revealed every episode, he might as well be a Steve or a Bob because there are thousands of talented drivers out there who would give their left testicle to earn 5-10 thousand pounds 10-13 times per year. Idea behind Stig is that audience keeps guessing. It also eliminated the eeky feeling when a driver is revealed that nobody even heard of outside of race series fans. Not like Michael Shumacher... well take that back.. that one was cool as hell.. but you know what im trying to say... not like they reveal a super super super star of motor racing on a weekly basis as "the stig" of that week.

I think whoever is the next stig needs to negotiate a proper contract that benefits him as much as it does other presenters. Just think about it... do we really care who is behind Elmo? or Big Bird or Barney? Do we really care who is behind costume of a power ranger? We celebrate the character and not a guy behind it.

This is what I think really happened.

35 year old drivers usually retire by time they are 40. So he was on his way out anyways. It was recommended to him that "royalties" from his autobiography and all exit interviews will yield him more than he would have earned as a Stig. BBC of course benefits either way cause their ratings just went up through the roof and I bet so did viewership base.
