Viaplay: First, are you okay?

Verstappen: "Well, I'm fine, I think... (too much bad luck) I think I'll go to Tibet at year-end and relax there like Buddha for two months..."

Viaplay: "Do you think you can compete in the main race?"

Verstappen: "If our tires perform well."

Verstappen on the crash: I'm not sure what happened in that last lap. I had oversteer going into Turn 6, which was already strange, and I lost a bit of time there... I knew there was still a small margin in the final sector... When I turned in, grip completely disappeared instantly, and I couldn't even attempt to recover. We need to check the rear wing to make sure it's closing properly, because it felt very strange this time."

Viaplay: We thought you might have been pushing the car too hard?

Verstappen: "No... look, you always have moments where you lose control but can save it, but this time... it was completely out of control."

It was reported that Red Bull found a defect on the rear wing that caused the crash. The rear wing did not close properly at the end of the DRS flap area. Mekies confirmed in the press conference that the car lost downforce due to the loss of "aerodynamic performance" at the rear.

Verstappen has experienced bad luck this season. First, the Red Bull was less competitive early in the season, then Verstappen was disqualified from first place at an endurance race due to a tire issue, and then lost his advantage over much of the Nürburgring due to a mechanical failure. At the Monaco Grand Prix, Verstappen had a poor start on the first lap and retired early.
