It was not an error from Max Verstappen.
The crash was caused by a rear wing failure. The RW failed to close properly after Straight Mode, resulting in a loss of rear aero performance.
Read Bull has apologized to Max.

Max: “He estado conduciendo distintos tipos de autos, y el fin de semana pasado (Nürburgring) me recordó lo puro y grandioso que el automovilismo puede ser, y luego regresas a F1… Incluso si nos dieras un auto rentado les daríamos un gran show, no es eso. Para mí es confuso, no es lo que F1 debería ser, es muy complicado, que está permitido, cuando estás adelante o atrás, en la vuelta de formación… todo eso es una pena que tengamos que lidiar con eso. F1 debería ser más pura. Y espero que los cambios que hagan el año siguiente sean lo mínimo necesario para volverlo más natural.”
GRÍTALO MAX
