Former Formula 1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has stated that Lewis Hamilton contributes more overall value to a team than Max Verstappen, whom he describes as a “pure racer.”
Villeneuve pointed out that Hamilton’s influence extends beyond his driving ability. “Lewis brings more value to a team than just his skills on the track,” Villeneuve said. “He’s a global icon, a leader, and someone who elevates the entire organization. Verstappen, on the other hand, is purely focused on racing.”
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has built a legacy that includes activism, fashion, and business, making him one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. His ability to collaborate with teams, engage with fans, and expand Formula 1’s global appeal sets him apart. Verstappen, the reigning champion, is known for his intense focus on racing and aggressive driving style, prioritizing performance above all else.
Villeneuve’s remarks have sparked discussion in the F1 community. Supporters of Hamilton agree that his broader influence makes him more valuable overall, while Verstappen’s fans argue that his dedication to racing is what makes him dominant on the track.
While Verstappen’s raw talent and determination keep him at the top, Hamilton’s influence and leadership solidify his lasting impact on the sport.
