Red Bull apologized to Verstappen for the crash.

      Red Bull Racing team principal Laurent Mekies stated that Max Verstappen had no chance of avoiding the crash in the qualifying final. At the moment of the crash, Verstappen's car lacked downforce on the rear axle, causing it to spin immediately at the corner entry. Laurent Mekies: "The dynamics of the incident were quite unusual. The aerodynamic characteristics of the rear of the car deteriorated, leaving Max with no chance. As a team, we take full responsibility for what happened and apologize to him. Any serious update to the car never works on a plug-and-play basis. We need to understand the capabilities of the updated package, determine the optimal working range, and maximize its potential throughout the weekend. We are still learning to work with the new components, but we made an important step this weekend. The car has gained speed, which demonstrates the progress made."
