According to Jacques Villeneuve, Scuderia Ferrari can only truly become Lewis Hamilton's team if it takes the baton away from Charles Leclerc. In everything.
It's clear so far that the smoke has been bigger than the flame. Hamilton hasn't changed the world so far, and despite his victory in the sprint race, it doesn't look like he's the promised messiah who will lead the Italians back to the world championship... According to Jacques Villeneuve, the path and foundation for him "taking over" Charles Leclerc's team is:
"He has very little time to prove himself; he's running out of the grace period that characterized the euphoria surrounding his arrival. He can do this by taking over Leclerc's initiative. This isn't a short-term project, but the good news for Lewis is that he's already achieved this—at least on a marketing level."
His success depends on whether he can take over Leclerc's team and make it his own. He has to do that, not just business-wise, but also physically on the track. He has to take pole positions, win, and present himself as a challenger for the world championship," the former world champion explained about the other former world champion.
