Dutch racing driver Tim Coronel believes that the departure of Helmut Marko from Red Bull has caused Max Verstappen to consider leaving the team.
After over 20 years, Helmut Marko recently announced his exit from Red Bull as its motorsport advisor following the Abu Dhabi GP.
Marko was instrumental in developing the team and its young drivers through the junior programme.

Coronel stated in an interview with RacingNews365 that “The departure of Helmut Marko has triggered the departure of Max Verstappen.”
