He came, he saw, he commented - as usual. But that's exactly why we like Jacques Villeneuve, for his powerful statements, which are sometimes off target, sometimes neutral, and sometimes painfully accurate...
Which of the latter will be, we leave to the dear reader. Especially in view of the fact that the statement mentioned in the title is not even the most controversial!
"If Max Verstappen left F1, nobody in the world would care... But if Lewis Hamilton retired, it would be the equivalent of an earthquake. Hamilton moving to another team is the biggest thing to happen in the sport since a certain Michael Schumacher left Benetton for Scuderia Ferrari. Whatever his achievements, Lewis Hamilton is already considered the greatest driver of all time, largely because of his fan base.
Hamilton goes beyond Formula 1, he is no longer just a driver, he has broken the traditional mold and now by being connected to the greatest F1 driver and perhaps the greatest brand in the world, that story can continue. He is completely different and there are not many drivers who can match him! A lot depends on Lewis and if he does it well, he will go to heaven," said Villeneuve fascinated by Hamilton.
