Think about it 
The reason they hide the Stig's identity is so they don't have to use the same test driver each week. They can choose from whoever is available at the time. If you watch the episodes where they do the car football there are several well known touring car racers taking part as well as Ben Collins (who has been outed as on of the Stigs), they can probably use anyone of those drivers.
Michael Shumacher was the temporary Stig for last weeks show as I doubt there are many people that Ferrari would allow to drive the FXX. Rumour has it that the one used in the show belongs to Shumacher anyway and he is still under contract to Ferrari as an advisor etc.
So not so much a comedy stunt, just the fact that MS was stand-in Stig for that week.

Do you know, we had to spend the weekend with the wifes sister as she has finally calfed and we visiting the nipper.
One of her mates (Who had a bottom jaw a neanderthal would have got a stiffy for) said they were to reveal "The Stig" and I said actually its a lad called Ben Collins. The initial look was like I had perhaps uttered some expletive in a foreign yet familiar language.
The time is upon us and its obviously not BC as The Stig is too short and sporting what can now only be assumed to be post-F1 portly-ness. The helmet comes off and the helmut is revealved.
To this, the luddite of a woman near enough starts shouting "Our Kev said it were 'im" and looked at me liked she'd just discovered fire whilst I was still pushing the stick up my ****.
A weekend in Ponte is like a weekend in Paradise.
