Who is this a reference to?

[bavman]

I don't really watch racing or keep up with it so I was wondering who is refered to in the achivement "beat the driver who shall not be named"? (Ferrari 458 @ imola)

I've always wondered about this but could never find an answer online.

Follow up question, why must this driver not be named?

Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves.

if you want a less funny answer.

...and that he knows two facts about ducks - both of which are wrong.

...and that his sweat can be used to clean precious metals.

"Some say, that he also has a button, that makes him humm
and if he played football for Manchester United, he'll be loyal, because he is not a potato headed oaf."

My face when I read your post:

 

[Georg Siebert]

"Some say that he brakes into peoples houses at night and leaves two misterious extra keys in a kitchen drawer,
and as a result of buying Pirelli condoms this week, he now has 17 children."

[Connor Caple]

"Some say that the outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nurburgring, and if you give him a really important job to do, he’ll skive off and play croquet."

 

[Joao Alves]

" Some say he appears on high value stamps in Sweden, and that he can catch fish with his tongue."

And many, many more!

İs this guy better than stig? (İf stig uses street tyres)

Clarkson says stig' time 1.56.6

Some say he can swim 7 lengths underwater, and he has webbed buttocks. All we know is he’s called the Stig..

If you took into account the fear you get from G-Forces and the possibility of death or serious bodily injury then no you cannot say for certain this guy would be better than stig irl. That is however a very impressive feat nonetheless.
