Helmut Marko has described Jos Verstappen’s inputs as ‘unhelpful’ as Red Bull continue to manage a toxic environment.
“Let’s put it this way, it didn’t help,” Marko told ORF “But internally we sat down together and said, ‘We have to join forces and work together in all areas so we can win this world championship’.
“And also for the future, so that we have a winning car again. Because it’s also clear that if we don’t give Max Verstappen a car he can win with, then in the long run all those contracts of top drivers have performance-related exit clauses and Max will then start looking at others, provided he’s still having fun.
“That’s another factor that comes into play. He will drive where the best package is always on offer.”
