Red Bull says it resolved the steering problem Max Verstappen reported in Austin’s first practice session, after adjusting the steering between the two sessions. Technical director Pierre Waché said the change made it better and that the issue was fixed.
Verstappen finished second in the first session and third in the second, but the circuit’s bumps remained a separate challenge. Waché said Verstappen was bouncing a lot, especially at Turn 1, where drivers had to be careful in the braking zone.
Waché said the Austin setup was less stiff than in 2025 but still did not respond well to the bumps. Red Bull’s focus for Saturday, he added, would be low-speed performance.
