Lewis Hamilton now has to take “big risks” in order to defend his world title in 2021. “We already saw at Imola that Lewis is no longer used to taking big risks. One risk taken by Hamilton at Imola was at the start, Villeneuve explains. The red flag caused by his own teammate Valtteri Bottas saved him, but he can’t rely on that,” said Villeneuve. Villeneuve said: “Sergio Perez is the newcomer at Red Bull and he’s already stronger than Bottas, who has been driving for Mercedes for five years. “I see Perez helping Max more than Bottas can help Hamilton.”.
