Verstappen expressed his discontent during a post-race news conference, saying, "These kind of things definitely decide my future as well, when you can't be yourself or you have to deal with these kind of silly things." He emphasized feeling weighed down by trivial issues when he just wants to enjoy his success in racing.
He added, "Of course, it's great to have success and win races, but you know, once you have accomplished all that winning championships and races ... you want to just have a good time as well." Verstappen highlighted that constant scrutiny over insignificant matters could impact his decision to remain in the sport.
Verstappen described the FIA's intervention as "tiring," reflecting on how he is now at a stage in his career where he doesn’t want to deal with petty regulations that hinder his authenticity.
After being sanctioned for his outburst during a news conference, Verstappen was ordered to complete community service, highlighting the broad enforcement of the FIA's rules regarding participant conduct.
