This was stated by none other than Jacques Villeneuve, and if we look at the statistics alone, with eight world championship titles, it would be very difficult to argue with this statement.
The colleague, who is also a world champion fortune teller, naturally explained why he thinks this way:
"He really needed a change, he won't regret leaving Mercedes at all. Scuderia Ferrari is the biggest challenge on the track for any racing driver, and if he can pull off a championship there, which the fans have been longing for for so long, then he will be the greatest champion both morally and professionally. Considering all the eras of the sport! It doesn't matter how many times he's been a world champion, or how many of them he's won with Mercedes. He had a couple of easy seasons there, if he can overcome this challenge, he'll prove all the doubters right."
"Hammer Time has been a bit of a letdown lately, but something happened at Silverstone and from then on I feel like we're seeing the old Lewis Hamilton again. For a long time he seemed to be resigned to the constant defeats against George Russell, but there he got a new strength and that killer instinct that we know he's capable of came out of him again. If he brings it out at Ferrari and keeps it up, then he'll be the absolute crowned king of the sport!" - mused the 1997 world champion.
