Jacques Villeneuve’s comments

These are the statements from the former Williams driver: “That team might have the final piece Mercedes needs to win him another title. At Ferrari, he will have the potential to drive like Max Verstappen does now,” he said to *Instant Casino*.

“This could enhance his mental focus throughout the season, as it is a new challenge. And winning would rightfully confirm his place among the best in history,” the 1997 Formula One world champion added in conclusion.

The comparison made by Jacques Villeneuve is unusual: what does he mean by “he could drive like Verstappen does now”? Only he knows, but one thing is certain: Lewis Hamilton is ready to give his all to Ferrari to become the most successful driver ever.

Doing it in Red would be even more special, considering that the rival he needs to surpass is none other than Michael Schumacher, who won five world titles at Maranello.

After all, everyone knows it, and the key figures in Formula 1 also say it: winning with Ferrari is different from any other team.

It’s different because of the history, the name, and – in this case – because of a long drought of successes that has lasted uninterrupted since 2008. Will Lewis Hamilton be the man of destiny? We’ll just have to wait and see.
