He came, he saw, he commented - just like that, as usual. But that's why we love Jacques Villeneuve, for his strong statements, which are sometimes wrong, sometimes neutral, and sometimes they hit painfully...
Which one of these it will be, we leave to the dear reader. Especially since 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... But if Lewis Hamilton retired, it would be like an earthquake. Hamilton's transfer is the biggest achievement in the sport since a certain Michael Schumacher signed from Benetton to Scuderia Ferrari. Regardless of his results, Lewis Hamilton is considered the greatest driver of all time, thanks to his fan base.
"Hamilton transcends Formula 1, he is no longer just a driver, he has broken the traditional mold, and now, by associating himself with 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 who can compare to him! A lot depends on Lewis, and if he does well, then he will go to heaven." - Villeneuve said about Hamilton.
