Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has admitted that Max Verstappen is costing the team too many points this season, and the Brit has revealed that the team will come together to discuss what's going to happen next.

Verstappen couldn't keep his Red Bull out of the arm coat once again as he crashed in FP3, which resulted in him not being able to qualify on Saturday and thus having to start from the back on Sunday during the race. He got ninth, but in a weekend where Red Bull were going for the one-two, that's not good enough.

"After the weekend we're going to reset and think what we want from a race weekend," Horner told Sky Sports F1.

"It's important to know whether we should be planning the weekends differently."

After another incident involving Max Verstappen, the team is a bit lost and doesn't know what to do with the youngster anymore.

"If you want to get results, this can't go on anymore.

"Max is costing us and himself so many points and it's time to change that.

"We'll have to change something because this can't go on."
