Former Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has discussed a potential comeback to the F1 grid in the future. Marko played a crucial role in Red Bull’s history, bringing skilled drivers like Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel, and Daniel Ricciardo to the team. After the 2025 season, Marko announced his departure from the team, ending a twenty-year tenure with Red Bull.

He remains informed about the team’s developments but is relieved to no longer carry the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Despite receiving intriguing offers, Marko stated that he has no intention of making a return to Formula 1, as he believes his success with Red Bull should continue without any new ventures taking its place.
