F1 drivers again complained about the bumpy nature of the Circuit of the Americas which will undergo another major resurfacing in January

The Circuit of The Americas is to undergo its second major resurfacing early next year as it again tries to eradicate the bumps that have made it “better suited to a rally car”, according to three-time F1 champion Max Verstappen.

    So everyone’s in agreement the track is a problem, but the DQs still stand? Make it make sense F1…

      Car was not within the rules, car gets DQd. Makes a lot of sense in my opinion.

      Every track has its quirks, the teams are instructed to figure out to make the fastest car WITHIN the rules. It’s not like they didn’t know it was bumpy, they figured that out first lap in FP1, every other team did as well. Most of the teams raised height to make sure they complied with rules, Merc and Ferrari either didn’t or didn’t enough

      It was the same track for everyone, they had a (single) practice session to identify issues and set ride height accordingly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
