Jacques Villeneuve says “the Mercedes has become very quick so we will probably see another win for Hamilton this year”, but warns he “will be on an emotional rollercoaster at Ferrari”.
After Lewis Hamilton’s amazing British Grand Prix win, his first in two and a half years, 1997 Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve gave his thoughts on Lewis’ performance, and his 2025 move to Ferrari.
“Lewis Hamilton will be on an emotional rollercoaster at Ferrari,” Villeneuve told The Mirror.
“He seems to be very emotional in his driving, in the highs and lows, and it seems to affect him quite a lot.
“You can tell he was on a roll and in the zone at Silverstone – he hasn’t been in the zone like that for a while.
“Every season he’s driven, Hamilton has had ups and downs, he’s never had a season like Max Verstappen. There’s always swings in his moods, it might be self-doubt but I’m not sure.
“Most of the season, it’s looked like Hamilton was accepting defeat to George Russell, which is weird. In Silverstone, he made the difference in the rain.

“That’s the champion we know, he knows how to take hold of an occasion.”
Villeneuve went on to say that the British Grand Prix will definitely not be Lewis’ last victory in Formula 1.
“No, Silverstone won’t be Lewis Hamilton’s last Grand Prix win. He still has the fire in his belly to perform.
“Also, the Mercedes has become very quick so we will probably see another win for Hamilton this year. Somehow, Mercedes have followed the same trajectory as the McLaren.
“Hamilton knows how to drive this version of the car, and he showed that in the last race,” the Canadian concluded.
