The Chinese Grand Prix was a race to forget for Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen.The 20-year-old Belgian was involved in a high profile collision with championship leader Sebastian Vettel that took both drivers out of contention.Red Bull boss Helmut Marko spoke after the race, telling Movistar that while Verstappen would accept full responsibility for the incident, he should be given some slack considering his relative youth."His time will come. He just shouldn't overdo it. He knows what he lost. There was a victory for him on the table, but he gave it away."But still it was a very good drive from both our drivers. He is 19 or 20, he's bloody young, and it can happen."Others haven't been so charitable about the incident, with Vettel being among those to dismiss the idea that Verstappen should be given slack on the account of young age.He told ESPN: "He has done enough races. But again, this can also happen if you've done 300 races. Inside the car, you mustn't forget that the judgements are very difficult to make."But you have to ultimately have these things in mind and make sure you don't crash."Verstappen is quickly gaining a reputation for recklessness having also made contact with Lewis Hamilton during the Bahrain Grand Prix.After the incident, Hamilton focused on Verstappen's inexperience, telling The Express: "I just think for him, he's a young driver and is going to be learning all the time, he's got fantastic pace but, as youngsters, we do not always make the right decisions."The latest influential voice to weigh in on Verstappen is three-time F1 world champion Niki Lauda, who has called into question whether the young Belgian driver is learning from his mistakes. AMuS has reported that Lauda said: "Max is fully to blame for the accident. Seems like reason doesn't get through to him."You normally rise with your mistakes. But he's getting ever smaller. In this case it also seems to be a question of intelligence."

Lauda, above many people, has reason to talk about Verstappen's mistakes having been seriously injured in a crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring during which his Ferrari burst into flames and he came close to death.

Lauda's concerns about the lack of adjustment and learning on Verstappen's part seem increasingly justified with each new incident involving the Red Bull driver.

Other drivers will surely be worried about going into battles in the future with the Belgian considering his repeat offences.
