Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has made it abundantly clear that both of his drivers will face the team at its factory in Milton Keynes to apologise for their actions in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen collided at Turn 1 on lap 40, ending both of their races, and the FIA handed both drivers their first reprimands of the season for their roles in the crash.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Horner was left furious with the pair's on track actions, having had numerous near misses prior to the final collision.
The Red Bull boss initially refused to talk to the media, such was his dismay after the loss of a potential solid result for the team.
After a lengthy debrief with key figures, including the team's motorsport consultant Dr Helmut Marko, the drivers and Horner appeared to have settled the issue and then faced the media after the race had finished.
When asked about debrief and the drivers ahead of the next race, Horner told Sky Sports: "In Barcelona they will be fine, I have no doubt about that. But they are both in the doghouse. You can see that in their body language.
"They will be in the factory to apologise to all the staff prior to the Barcelona race.
"Things get discussed behind closed doors, but the drivers at the end of the day drive for a team and they both recognise that they have screwed up today
"They will be apologising to the team, and all members of the team, because it is a team sport and that seemed to get forgotten about."
