Piastri warns COTA's Turn 1 bump could complicate overtaking

After qualifying, Oscar Piastri warned that the bump on the approach to Turn 1 at Circuit of the Americas could complicate overtaking in the United States Grand Prix. He said drivers brake after it in qualifying but would brake on it in the race, particularly when trying to pass.

Piastri compared the Turn 1 bump to a motocross jump and said the bump on the approach to Turn 19 was not much better. He said most of the circuit surface was probably better than in previous years.

Piastri said drivers had raised the issue with the FIA, which was aware of it. He was sure the problem would be fixed for next year.
