Max Verstappen has raised serious concerns about the condition of the Circuit of the Americas ahead of the United States Grand Prix, describing its bumps as unacceptable and out of control. The Red Bull driver revealed that medical examinations have raised concerns about the condition of his lower spine, warning that repeated impacts from uneven circuits could have lasting consequences for drivers. Lando Norris has backed Verstappen's criticism, revealing that some circuits are so bumpy he takes headache tablets before driving. George Russell has also acknowledged the issue, suggesting that Formula 1 circuits may need more frequent resurfacing to accommodate the demands of modern cars. Despite major resurfacing work in 2024 and further repairs ahead of this year's race, Austin continues to face problems with its track surface. Verstappen believes the underlying foundations need attention rather than repeated temporary fixes, raising a bigger question about whether Formula 1is doing enough to protect its drivers.
