Red Bull’s motorsport advisor is not keen on potentially training a rising F1 star for a rival team.
Helmut Marko appeared to rule out the possibility of Red Bull signing rising F1 star Franco Colapinto for its RB team, citing the team’s current lineup. Colapinto has shown promise with impressive performances since joining Williams as a replacement for Logan Sargeant, but he won’t have a full-time race seat with the team in 2025. Red Bull is evaluating its driver lineup for both teams, with the possibility of Yuki Tsunoda or Liam Lawson replacing Sergio Perez alongside Max Verstappen. However, Marko emphasized that Red Bull will not develop a driver for another team, dismissing the notion of a loan move for Colapinto. Despite Colapinto’s strong showings, Marko highlighted the team’s comfort with its current junior drivers and the long-term contract Colapinto has with Williams.
