F1 US Grand Prix: Why the Drivers Want Changes to the Track
What are the reasons behind Formula 1 drivers calling for changes to the Circuit of The Americas? Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who has won four of the last five United States Grands Prix, has expressed concern about the physically demanding race at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA), particularly due to the bumpy surface of the track. The track is known for its high-plasticity, expansive clay soils, which can shrink during dry conditions and swell when they absorb moisture, causing the ground beneath to heave, shift, and settle unevenly over time. The impact of the bumping can also be harmful to the driver's spine, causing severe headaches and vibrations. Despite efforts to address the issue, Verstapen believes the only solution is to open up the track and reinforce its foundation properly.
