He came, he saw, he commented—as usual. But that's precisely why we love Jacques Villeneuve, for his powerful statements that sometimes go off the rails, sometimes are neutral, and sometimes strike painfully…
We leave it to the dear reader to determine which of these is correct. Especially in light of the fact that the statement mentioned in the title isn't even the most daring!
“If Max Verstappen were to disappear from F1, no one in the world would be interested… On the other hand, if Lewis Hamilton were to withdraw, it would be equivalent to an earthquake. Hamilton’s move is the biggest thing to happen in the sport since a certain Michael Schumacher also signed for Ferrari after leaving Benetton. Regardless of his results, Lewis Hamilton is already considered the greatest driver of all time, thanks in part to his fan base.
Hamilton goes beyond Formula 1, he is no longer just a driver, he has broken the traditional mold, and now, with the association of the greatest driver in F1 and perhaps the greatest brand in the world, this story can continue to be written. He is very different, and there are not many drivers like him! A lot depends on Lewis, and if he does things right, he will go to heaven," Villeneuve said, flattering Hamilton.
