Four-time world champion Max Verstappen has criticised the bumps at COTA, the circuit that hosts the United States Grand Prix. He spoke about the track surface at the Singapore F1 press conference, where he gave a blunt assessment of the surface.
His reaction began with The Lone Star Le Mans, a World Endurance Championshipevent held in Texas over the weekend of 6 September. That series is built around long races for sports cars. Verstappen followed the event, and the state of the track left him shocked.
Verstappen said the bumps were unacceptable and out of control. The problem matters because F1 cars run very close to the ground. Even small bumps can make them hard to control and affect the setup that teams choose for a race weekend.
Verstappen also made a joke in Singapore about the United States Grand Prix at COTA. He added that he would need to order a replacement spine once that race came up. The line was light-hearted, but it came with a serious message: he sees the bumps as a real problem at COTA.
