According to Jacques Villeneuve, Scuderia Ferrari can truly become Lewis Hamilton's team if he takes the reins from Charles Leclerc. In everything.
For now, it's clear that there's more smoke than fire. Hamilton hasn't changed the world yet, and despite winning the sprint, it doesn't look like he's really the promised messiah who would put the Italians back on track for the world championship... According to Jacques Villeneuve, the way and basis for this is that he'll "take it" from Charles Leclerc:
"He has very little time to prove himself, he is starting to run out of the grace period that characterised the euphoria after his arrival. He can achieve this if he takes the initiative from Leclerc. It is not a short-term project, but the good news for Lewis is that - at least on a marketing level - he has already succeeded."
"His success depends on whether he can take the team from Leclerc, whether he can make the team his own. He has to do that, but not only commercially, but also physically on the track. He has to get pole position, he has to win, he has to prove himself as a challenger for the world championship," said the former world champion about another former world champion.
