A majority of F1 fans believe the end of the 2025 season was the right time for Helmut Marko to depart the Red Bull organisation.
Marko has been part of the Red Bull F1 set-up since the team's inception in 2005 and played a crucial role in the success of the Milton Keynes-based squad.
Overseeing its junior driver programme, Marko was responsible for giving debuts to the likes of Sebastian Vettel, Max Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo and Carlos Sainz.
However, his tenure with the team will come to an end at the end of the year, which was announced earlier this month.
His exit prompted RacingNews365 to as you, the fans, if you thought it was the right time for Marko to leave.
A majority of fans asserted it was the right time for the change to be made, while just over one-third of voters think he should have departed the team before now.
The least chosen option related to disagreeing with the move, as some 14 per cent of fans believe Marko still had a positive role to play at Red Bull.
