LEW CAN'T LIVE WITH MAX PACE

Hamilton tips title rival Verstappen for an ‘easy win’

- PHIL DUNCAN

LEWIS HAMILTON fears title rival l Max Verstappen will stroll to victory at the Austrian Grand Prix today.

Hamilton cut a frustrated figure after Red Bull racer Verstappen stormed to pole for the second weekend in succession at Spielberg’s Red Bull Ring.

And if that was not bad enough for Hamilton, he will start down in fourth behind Sergio Perez and Brit Lando Norris.

Hamilton – fresh from signing a new two-year deal with Mercedes yesterday – does not see any prospect of victory.
