Formula 1 has moved to prevent a repeat of Max Verstappen’s corner cutting controversy from last year’s United States Grand Prix by installing new kerbs at the Austin track.

Verstappen was left furious after the 2017 race when he was handed a five-second penalty – which cost him a podium finish – after he was ruled to have gained an advantage by cutting the track at Turns 16 and 17.

The Dutchman had snatched third place on the road from Kimi Raikkonen on the final lap by diving inside the Ferrari driver at the double apex right hander, but with all four wheels off the circuit he was deemed to have been in breach of the regulations.

While there was huge controversy over the incident – as Verstappen launched an attack on the stewards as to why he had been penalised and others had got away with track limits abuse – the FIA has decided to take action for this year.

Frickin too right. There should be alot more on the track aswell.
The second apex of T6 stands out, as RIC was cutting that all weekend.
Inside of 9, certainly exit of T9 to T10.
Absolutely exit of T19, that place is truly a joke, and a massive time gain going out there.


DRS Zone 1 extended by 70m, activation point moved closer to T11 hairpin.

Is that enough of a deterrent, doesn't look to aggressive..

Is it me or does that look like T18, first apex? Nobody goes near that apex. Ahwell, is what it is.

LL, all down to safety, gravel doesnt slow the cars enough and raises the risk of cars digging in then rolling over.
