It's definitely not Damon Hill. Hill went round in 1:46:3 in 2005, whereas the Stig went round in 1:44.4 later that year.
The Black Stig was Perry McCarthy, as mentioned in his autobiography. The White Stig is probably Ben Collins, although Heikki Kovalainen drove the Renault F1 car.

Used to be perry McCarthy but he let the cat out of the bag and got fired for it.
People band around Damon Hill becaus they read wikipedia, but the stig doesnt drive like an F1 driver does, he's too tail happy, which points to him being someone with experience in rallying, although he also hammers up and over the kerbs which points to someone from the british touring cars.

Defiantly not Jeremy Clarkson as he raced the Stig around the track with Clarkson in a Cadillac and the Stig in an Audi.

It was Perry McCarthy although at certain times he was switched when manufacturers insisted they use their own driver such as with the F1 cars.
This season i believe there has been a change although Perry has driven at least a couple of times.
Where to look? It's in the book.

(impossible it's lewis, Damon Hill has been mentioned.)

Its definitely not Hamilton because when they filmed the current series he was in an F1 car winning races all over the world.

It's definitely not Damon Hill, as it's not tall enough. Damon is over six feet tall. I'm surprised no-one thought to yank his helmet off when he was on the train for the trip across London. I would've!

I'd agee with Steven N., his style isn't that of an F1 driver, more like either a rally driver or touring car man. There is a theory that it's more than one, which could explain things . . .
