Red Bull has released a statement following Helmut Marko’s resignation from the six-time constructors’ champions.
Oliver Mintzlaff, CEO Corporate Projects and Investments at Red Bull, expressed his “deep regret” regarding Helmut Marko’s decision to leave the Milton Keynes-based team. The 82-year-old has decided to step down from his role at the six-time F1 constructors’ champions after the conclusion of the 2025 season.

Mintzlaff praised Marko for his legacy at Red Bull, acknowledging the “significant gap” his departure would leave at the team. While respecting Marko’s decision, Mintzlaff highlighted his invaluable contributions over two decades, shaping Red Bull Racing into a multiple world champion and a key player in international motorsport.
