SPIELBERG, Austria — The cynical jab on the front page of the Sunday morning edition of the paddock publication known as The Red Bulletin got its prediction slightly wrong: “Hamilton Wins in Spielberg….”
The story ran before the race, but after the British driver for the Mercedes team, Lewis Hamilton, scored his seventh pole position out of eight races this season on Saturday at the Red Bull Ring; and the rest of the headline went on to predict that Hamilton would win just about every race of the rest of the season, as well as in the coming four years.
