Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel has been linked to a management role at Milton Keynes outfit.
Max Verstappen expressed that Sebastian Vettel would be warmly received back at Red Bull if he chooses to return in a management role in Formula 1. Vettel recently confirmed discussing the possibility of succeeding Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko. Marko had earlier highlighted Vettel as his preferred successor within the team. Vettel played a significant role in Red Bull’s F1 history, securing four consecutive title doubles between 2010 and 2014. Verstappen succeeded Vettel at Red Bull in 2016 and has since matched his four drivers’ championships. Verstappen emphasized that there would always be a place for Vettel at Red Bull due to his achievements and relationship with Marko. Vettel’s potential return would align with Marko’s involvement in Red Bull’s driver development program, which kickstarted the careers of Vettel, Verstappen, Daniel Ricciardo, and others. Vettel, who retired from F1 in 2022, is viewed as a strong contender to oversee Red Bull’s renowned but occasionally controversial junior program.
