He came, he saw, he spoke - just as usual. But that's exactly why we love Jacques Villeneuve, for his strong statements, which sometimes sound wrong, sometimes are neutral, and sometimes hit painfully...
We'll leave it up to the reader to decide which of these options it will be. Especially considering that the claim mentioned in the headline is far from the boldest!
"If Max Verstappen disappeared from F1, no one in the world would care... On the other hand, if Lewis Hamilton left, it would be an earthquake. Hamilton's move was the biggest event in the sport since a certain Michael Schumacher moved from Benetton to Scuderia Ferrari. Regardless of his results, Lewis Hamilton is considered the greatest driver of all time, due to his fan base.
Hamilton transcends Formula 1, he is no longer just an ordinary racer, he has broken the traditional formula, and now with the combination of 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 not many racers who can match him! Lewis matters a lot and if he does well, he will go to heaven.” - Villeneuve admired Hamilton.
