兰多·诺里斯支持维斯塔潘,他表示一些一级方程式赛道,包括美洲赛车场的坑洼非常严重,以至于他在开始驾驶前需要服用头痛药片
在观看了COTA的世界耐力锦标赛比赛后,维斯塔潘开玩笑说,他周末可能需要订购一个新的脊椎,或者变成像《银翼杀手》中的机器人警察。在奥斯汀比赛前的周四,这位荷兰人越来越批评赛道。当诺里斯不久后被问及此事时,他支持了他对手的观点。
“嗯,我会说是的。我的意思是,如果你现在建造一条新的赛道,FIA……建造新赛道的规则,你必须遵守的公差非常小。它肯定不符合现在的这些规定,让我们说,但这是一条旧赛道,不是一条新赛道——它真的很糟糕。”
他进一步解释了这有多么困难。
“有很多地方我出门前需要吃头痛药。仅仅是因为它太颠簸了,你因为颠簸而重重地撞在头枕上,所以这绝对不是一件愉快的事情。”
“但我们能做的并不多。我的意思是,我们对此抱怨,所以这确实被提了很多次,但我们能抱怨的事情有限,但他是对的。当然是对的。”
COTA的赛道表面自从2012年F1首次在那里比赛以来一直是一个长期存在的问题。在2023年在奥斯汀获胜后,维斯塔潘表示,这些凹凸不平的地方“不符合F1标准”,赛道主席鲍比·爱泼斯坦当时承诺要修复最严重的地方。2024年,整个赛道都进行了翻新,今年也进行了工作,以修复9号弯和11号弯之间的最严重问题。
梅赛德斯车队的乔治·拉塞尔也谈到了奥斯汀的凹凸不平,称其为“赛车的一部分”,但认为F1赛道应该“每隔几年”就翻新一次。他说,在直道结束时,赛车离地面只有10毫米,而18英寸轮胎较小的侧壁意味着车手能感觉到每一个凹凸。
F1与COTA签订了直到2034年的比赛合同,这是在去年达成新协议后确定的。

Lando Norris backs Max Verstappen over COTA bumps, reveals headache tablet use
Lando Norris has backed Max Verstappen's criticism of the Circuit of the Americas, revealing that bumps at some Formula 1 tracks are so severe he takes headache tablets before driving
For McLaren fans. Papaya news from Woking, with the latest on the drivers, the car, team strategy and every race weekend.
Lando Norris has backed Max Verstappen as he says the bumps at some Formula 1 circuits, including the Circuit of the Americas, are so bad that he takes headache tablets before he starts driving.
Having watched the World Endurance Championship race at COTA, Verstappen joked that he would "need to order a new spine after the weekend, or become like Robocop". On the Thursday ahead of the Austin race, the Dutchman was increasingly critical of the track. When Norris was asked shortly after, he supported his rival's opinion.
“Well, I would say yes. I mean, if you build a new track now the FIA... the rules, the regulation of building a new track, the tolerances you have to be within are pretty small. It certainly doesn’t fit anywhere close to what those regulations are now, let’s say, but it’s an old track, not a new track - it’s pretty bad.”
He explained further just how difficult it can be.
“There’s a lot of places I need to take headache tablets before I go out. Simply because it’s so bumpy and you're hitting your head pretty hard against the headrests and things because of the bumps, so it’s certainly not a nice thing.
"But there's not much we can do. I mean we complain about it, so it’s certainly brought up many, many times but there’s only so much we can complain about things, but he’s right. Certainly right.”
COTA’s surface has been a long-running issue since F1 first raced there in 2012. After winning in Austin in 2023, Verstappen said the bumps were “not F1 level”, and circuit chairman Bobby Epstein promised at the time to fix the worst areas. In 2024, the whole track was resurfaced, and work has been done this year to remedy the worst of it between Turn 9 and Turn 11.
Mercedes’ George Russell also spoke about the bumps in Austin, calling them “part of racing” but arguing that F1 tracks should be resurfaced “every couple of years”. He said the cars run just 10mm off the ground at the end of the straights, and that the smaller sidewalls of the 18-inch tyres mean drivers feel every bump.
F1 has a contract to race at COTA until 2034, after a new deal was agreed last year.
