这位红牛车手带着在巴林大奖赛、马来西亚和新加坡大奖赛连续两场胜利的势头前往奥斯汀。然而，维斯塔潘对奥斯汀的比赛降低了期望。
“我的意思是，这很难说。我现在不想说我会在奥斯汀参与争夺，但没错，最近几个比赛周末非常棒，”这位荷兰车手在新加坡大奖赛赛后新闻发布会上解释道。
“但我只是一场一场地看，等我们到了奥斯汀，再看看那里会怎么样。但那又是一条非常不同的赛道。”
他观看了世界耐力锦标赛在美洲赛道（COTA）的比赛，这让他对赛道表面感到担忧。
“从我在WEC看到的情况来看，这条赛道颠簸得难以置信。天哪，这个周末过后我大概得订一根新脊椎，或者变成机械战警那样。太疯狂了，”他开玩笑说。
“这对每个人来说又是一个新的挑战，你知道的，要应对那些颠簸。然后我们就从那里继续前进。我们还得去墨西哥，同样是高海拔，一切都会运行得超级热。
“我们需要看看引擎在那个海拔下会表现如何，赛车的行为如何，因为那非常不同。所以，你知道，在那些比赛中有太多不同的事情你可能做对或做错，但我们拭目以待。”
2026赛季还剩六轮，假设最后两场在卡塔尔和阿布扎比的比赛按计划进行，维斯塔潘目前位居车手积分榜第四。但在过去两个比赛周末（包括一场冲刺赛）共收获58分后，他已将与第三名刘易斯·汉密尔顿的差距缩小到仅8分，与第二名乔治·拉塞尔的差距缩小到17分。

Max Verstappen jokes he will need a "new spine" after "incredibly bumpy" US GP circuit
Max Verstappen has warned of the extremely bumpy track surface at the Circuit of the Americas ahead of the United States Grand Prix
For Red Bull fans. Keeping watch on Red Bull Racing, with F1 news, driver updates, technical insight and race analysis from Milton Keynes.
Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen has warned that the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is "incredibly bumpy" ahead of this weekend's United States Grand Prix, joking he may need to "order a new spine" afterwards.
The Red Bull driver heads to Austin with the momentum of two consecutive victories at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia and the Singapore Grand Prix. However, Verstappen has tempered expectations for the race in Austin.
"I mean, it's very difficult to say. I don't want to say now that I will be in the fight in Austin, but yeah, the last few weekends have been great," the Dutchman explained during the Singapore Grand Prix post-race press conference.
"But I just take it race by race, and once we are in Austin, then we'll see how it will go there. But it's again a very different track."
He watched the World Endurance Championship's visit to COTA, which left him concerned about the track surface.
"From what I saw in WEC, the track is incredibly bumpy. Oh my god, I probably need to order a new spine after the weekend or become like Robocop. Crazy," he joked.
"That's again a new challenge for everyone, you know, to deal with those bumps. And then we just go from there. We have to go to Mexico, again, high altitude, everything will run super hot.
"We need to see how the engine is going to perform at that altitude, how the car is behaving, because it's very different. So, you know, there are so many different things that you can get right or wrong in those races, but we'll see."
With six rounds remaining in the 2026 season, assuming the final two races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi continue as planned, Verstappen currently sits fourth in the drivers' standings. But after collecting 58 points across the last two race weekends, including a sprint race, he has closed the gap to Lewis Hamilton in third to just eight points and George Russell in second to 17 points.
