Who is better: Lewis Hamilton ali Michael Schumacher? It's on paper Schumi with seven championship titles still the most successful racer Formula 1 of all time, but Hamilton approaching him. This year, the Briton will most likely win his sixth title.

A question we will never get rid of: Who is the better racer of all time, is racer A better than racer B? It doesn’t matter if it’s a comparison of different generations and time periods that are not comparable. In the case of Schumacher and Hamilton, however, the opinion of Villeneuve should not be asked at all, because they won only in the best racing cars.

For a former Formula 1 racer Jacques Villeneuvega however, the question of comparison between these two racers should not be raised at all. “These racers only won when they had the best race car. They have always had the best race car in their careers. If Lewis were put in Williams' race car now, then he certainly wouldn't win,”So Canadian for colleagues from Motorsport-Total.comwhich explains: "He is very good at always making the right decisions as to which team to move to."

Jacques Villeneuve is convinced that all the best racers who have become world champions have raced in the best race cars. FROM Senna, Prost, Schumacher to Hamilton. That's how it is in Formula 1, adds the Canadian - Photo: Bojan Vrbnjak

"There, he builds a team around him to take care of him. That's all. I might not have won a Ferrari,”Dies Villeneuvewhich either way comparisons between racers of different periods of Formula 1 sees it as the greatest nonsense. Gerhard Berger said this year, for example Lewis Hamilton the first racer to ride on a level Ayrton Senna.

But even Jacques Villeneuve won his only championship title in 1997 in arguably the best race car of the entire field.

"This, however, is the stupidest comment I have ever heard. You could also say he is first at the Fangia level. And how can we please compare that? Back then, it was a completely different time. And the same goes for Senna: He won the best race car. Also Free. That's how it goes." Villeneuve, which is years 1997 won the title, he was then racing for Williams and with that probably as well the best race car in the field.
