He arrived, he saw, he commented – just as usual. But that's exactly why we love Jacques Villeneuve, for his strong statements, which are sometimes out of place, sometimes neutral and sometimes painfully striking…
Which of these will be the last, we leave to the kind reading. Especially in light of the fact that the statement mentioned in the title is not even the most extreme!
“If Max Verstappen disappeared from F1, no one in the world would care… However, if Lewis Hamilton retired, it would be like a catastrophic earthquake. Hamilton’s move is the biggest thing that has happened in the sport since a certain Michael Schumacher signed with Scuderia Ferrari after Benetton. Regardless of his results, Lewis Hamilton is already considered the greatest driver of all time, precisely because of his following.
Hamilton goes beyond Formula 1, he is no longer just a driver, he has broken the traditional mold, and now with the combination of being the greatest F1 driver and perhaps the greatest brand in the world, this story can continue to be written. He is very different, and there are few drivers who can compare to him! A lot depends on Lewis, and if he does things well, then he will go to heaven.” - said Villeneuve on Hamilton.
