Helmut Marko clarifies Red Bull future after crucial meeting with top bosses
According to the Daily Mirror, the 80-year-old adviser has clarified his future in a meeting with bosses to dispel rumors of his potential departure from Red Bull’s dominant F1 team. He will sign a new contract with Red Bull’s parent company and continue his role as he is not an official employee of the racing team. Despite the stress of a 24-race calendar this year, Marko expressed his enthusiasm for his job and upcoming trips. Although rumors had circulated about Marko stepping away from the team, he remains a crucial ally to Max Verstappen, who is vying for a fourth consecutive F1 championship. Marko is expected to be involved in important decisions, such as determining whether Sergio Perez or Daniel Ricciardo will occupy the Red Bull seat.
