All Formula One drivers are put into their own list with regard to lap times because of their exceptional skill level. When the Liana was pulled out from retirement to allow Jenson Button to make a time, Clarkson noted that the Liana would be pulled out for use by Formula 1 drivers in the future. Michael Schumacher, in retirement on the 21 June 2009 episode, was shown attempting the lap but didn't record a time having stalled, bunny hopped and finally got lost, as a joke.

Both Stigs, the original 'black' Stig and the current 'white' Stig, have done laps around the track in the Suzuki Liana.

The first Stig was Perry McCarthy, who once test drove for the Williams F1 team.[citation needed] The identity of the second 'Stig' has not been revealed by BBC Top Gear; in the first episode of Series 13 the Stig was "revealed" to be Michael Schumacher, although this was a joke in the vein of the rest of his appearance on the show. The second Stig notably takes a different line into the first corner from most of the F1 drivers.

On 11th July 2010, Rubens Barrichello managed to top the board, even outdoing the Stig, during the lap Clarkson did note that Barrichello took a similar line to the Stig.
