The high-intense qualifying session is done and dusted, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen taking pole position, while his title rival, Lewis Hamilton had to settle for third place on the grid.
However, instead of believing he can make the difference tomorrow, Hamilton doesn’t think he can match the pace of the Dutchman and overtake him around the Red Bull Ring
But, with the forecast predicting rain tomorrow, Hamilton is hoping that he and his team can surprise Red Bull and possibly steal their thunder in their home race in Austria.
