Villeneuve: Hamilton 'thinking about' Ferrari move
1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve thinks Lewis Hamilton is contemplating a move to Ferrari.
Six time world champion Hamilton's Mercedes contract expires next year, and Toto Wolff said recently it is "natural" that the Briton is attracted to Ferrari because it's the "most important brand" in F1.
"Lewis is chasing all the records and he has a good chance of getting most of them," Villeneuve told Sky Italia.
"Going to Ferrari would be the culmination of all of it and I suspect he is thinking about it."
Villeneuve, however, stopped short of comparing Hamilton with the likes of Schumacher and Fangio.
"I think most of these comparisons are nonsensical," he said. "Schumacher and Hamilton won most of their titles because they were in the best car.
"Put him in a midfield car and he stops winning. But it's also part of the success of an outstanding driver to choose the right team. Fangio, Senna, Prost - they all sat in the best cars in their day," Villeneuve added.

Ferrari would be dumb to offer Hamilton (34) a seat as it will affect their "long term investment in young Leclerc.
More JV idiocy. Of course that speaks volumes about me since I continue to read his drivel.
Ferrari Will never Hamilton he is to fat and getting old
HAM will not race for Ferrari, but it is not because of age or weight. Hey, RAI is 40 yrs. old and still damned fast. Are you familiar with the car/driver weight limits introduced in 2019? BTW, HAM weighs a whopping 68kg...a long way from the 80kg required minimum.
Another load of rubbish from the above poster. Lewis is'nt fat at all. like the rest of us we all age but do you really think that Lewis is jumping ship when he is doing so well at MB?.
He as been told to loose weight you are a silly person
Not as stupid as you. At least I can spell correctly. Your posts are terrible
Told by who and when? Maybe in your dreams.
I am now understanding why you make such stupid comments. I am sorry that I have replied to your crazy comments. I have just realised that you are a (care in the community) patient) I will be more careful from now on replying to your constant drivel. PLEASE KEEP TAKING YOUR MEDICATION.
Villeneuve talks from both sides of the mouth! 'Schumacher and Hamilton won titles because they were in the best cars' ...' Fangio, Senna , Prost they all sat in the best cars in their days'
Should any one continue to take this guy seriously? Its like saying Lionel Messi cannot win the champions League in a Sunderland shirt, so he's not a great
