Schumacher claims Red Bull have found BOMBSHELL Marko replacement
Former F1 racer Ralf Schumacher has revealed that Red Bull have a surprise replacement lined up for Helmut Marko’s role, calling it a ‘bombshell’ move. Marko, who departed from his position as motorsport advisor this week, had a contract until 2026 but decided to retire. Despite rumors that the position won’t be filled, Schumacher claims to know who will take over and hints at a significant change. The speculation has linked four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel to the role, with Marko himself endorsing Vettel as a potential successor. Marko leaves behind a substantial legacy at Red Bull, having been instrumental in their success and nurturing talents like Vettel, Verstappen, Ricciardo, Sainz, and young prospect Linblad. His unexpected departure marks the end of an era in F1, raising questions about Red Bull’s future strategies.
