Lewis Hamilton can't resist taking cheeky swipe at Jacques Villeneuve ahead of Canadian GP

Lewis Hamilton made a lighthearted jab at 1997 Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve during a press conference ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. The comment came as Hamilton was asked about Gilles Villeneuve, the legendary F1 driver after whom the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is named, and Hamilton admitted he was more familiar with Niki Lauda than Gilles Villeneuve growing up. The seven-time world champion used the moment to slip in a cheeky dig at Jacques while paying tribute to his father's enduring legacy.
