The 1997 champion feels Max Verstappen has one big advantage over the rest of the F1 field.
Jacques Villeneuve believes that Max Verstappen’s immense dedication to racing sets him apart from the rest of the Formula 1 field. Verstappen’s unprecedented records in 2023, including 19 wins out of 22 races, 575 championship points, and an 86% win percentage, have solidified his position as the driver to beat. Despite Red Bull’s dominance not being on the same level as Mercedes’ past dominance, Villeneuve recognizes Verstappen’s relentless commitment. While other drivers engage in various activities off the track, Verstappen remains focused on racing 24 hours a day, even thinking about it after getting out of the car. Villeneuve suggests that if other drivers were as single-minded as Verstappen, they could potentially reach his level of success.
