Jacques Villeneuve’s advice to Lewis Hamilton on when to retire from F1
In a recent interview, 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve suggested that Lewis Hamilton should only retire from Formula 1 when he loses his passion for racing. Hamilton faced challenges at the Dutch Grand Prix and crashed out of the race after a rare mistake at Turn 3. This incident marked his first Did Not Finish (DNF) as a Ferrari driver, caused solely by his own error. Hamilton’s recent performances have been underwhelming, scoring points in only one of the last three races. Despite struggles in qualifying, a strategic decision helped him gain positions at the Spa Grand Prix. Villeneuve emphasized that retirement should be a personal decision based on one’s passion, drive, and overall satisfaction in the sport.
