GOOD LAP VS GREAT LAP: Tackling Texas with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
Share
How do you maximise a lap of the Circuit of The Americas? Good Lap vs Great Lap is back with double world champion Max Verstappen and his Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez.
Last year, Verstappen took pole around this Austin fan-favourite circuit that opens up with an uphill left-hander, sweeps through the esses and runs back downhill into the long back straight.
