Max Verstappen revealed concerns over the state of his spine as he unleashed a scathing criticism of the "out of control" bumpy track surface at Circuit of The Americas.

The four-time world champion arrives in Austin for Sunday's United States Grand Prix after claiming his first two victories of the season in back-to-back races.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, Verstappen was unexpectedly passionate over the state of the circuit, which is generally considered as one of the most popular among the drivers on the F1 calendar.

"You see also the track state from what I saw in WEC (World Endurance Championship), it was extremely badly bumpy," Verstappen said.
