Ferrari, Villeneuve’s verdict: “Sainz handles Leclerc’s pressure better”

Jacques Villeneuve’s opinions

Surely Jacques Villeneuveonce he hung up his helmet, is one of the few in the world of Formula 1 who is not afraid to express his opinions, regardless of whether he crosses the border of politically correct. And so listening to his thoughts is always interesting and often provides food for discussion.

The point on Ferrari

In the interview given to InstantCasino.comVilleneuve in fact commented on Ferrari’s recent step backwards as follows: “Charles Leclerc appears to have suffered from the pressure after his victory at the Monaco Grand Prix. It was an important race for him to win, but it had its weight. Why did they collapse? It seems that the development of the single-seater has taken the wrong directionbut the team as a whole must maintain high concentration. Carlos Sainz seems to be handling the pressure better.”

Antonelli in Mercedes

Villeneuve also doesn’t seem to be very convinced by the move Antonelli for Mercedes: “We haven’t seen enough results in F2 to be able to predict how it will go in F1. Mercedes has been hyping him up, saying he was faster than Russell in testing. But if that’s the case, why hasn’t it been made official yet? Mercedes knows his level, but it is worth noting that there are no other teams that are making an effort to hire him and it seems strange to me. Antonelli could have the potential to become a great F1 driver, but it’s probably not ready yet”.
