Max Verstappen raises concerns over COTA conditions with bizarre 'new spine' joke

Ahead of the upcoming racing weekend, Max Verstappen has joked about needing a replacement spine due to the rough track layout in Austin. The driver remarked that navigating the severe surface irregularities will present an unusual test for the competitors.

Following recent victories in Singapore and Malaysia, the four-time world champion is attempting to manage expectations for the events in Austin and Mexico. He noted that the high-altitude conditions in Mexico will create a completely separate set of cooling and engine performance hurdles for his team.
