Austin track bumps out of control - Verstappen

Max Verstappen says the bumps on the track that hosts this weekend's United States Grand Prix are "unacceptable" and "out of control".

The Dutchman said drivers had complained about the condition of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, and attempts by the organisers to resolve it had not worked.

Red Bull's Verstappen said: "I love this track, I love this place. It's one of the best layouts ever and it's one of the best venues, best city to be at.

"But for me the bumps are unacceptable. Over time they've been grinding a little bit here and there but it's just putting a plaster on the big problem.

"But that of course means you need to really fully open up the track. That costs a lot of money and time but that's the only way to get rid of it because these bumps are not natural and they are out of control."

The track is built on former marshland and that has made it difficult for organisers to keep it in good condition, but the four-time champion rejected that as a reason not to try to solve the issue.
