- Verstappen stated, "I mean, I cannot just back out of everything" and insists, "I'm just going to race like I always do," despite the risk of suspension.
- The penalty points expire on June 30, reducing Verstappen's risk ahead of the British Grand Prix, but he must drive cautiously this weekend to avoid a ban.
