Former world champion Jacques Villeneuve has likened Lewis Hamilton to a roller coaster, suggesting that the seven-time world champion's performance can be unpredictable. Villeneuve made these comments while discussing Hamilton's time at Ferrari, where the Briton failed to reach the podium even once last year.
However, Villeneuve believes that Ferrari has given Hamilton a new lease on life, with the Prancing Horse's smaller turbocharger providing superior traction and faster acceleration. This was evident in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, where Ferrari's drivers led the initial stages of the race.
Villeneuve also pointed out that Ferrari's drivers were better at managing their energy levels during the race, which contributed to their strong performance. He expects the teams to get closer during the season, with a potential rule change concerning engines that could level the playing field.
