Red Bull ‘decide’ on Vettel signing after Marko exit
Red Bull have made the decision not to replace Helmut Marko following his departure from the team after the 2025 F1 season.
Marko, who had been with Red Bull since their F1 inception in 2005, announced his retirement as the motorsport advisor after Max Verstappen narrowly missed out on a fifth championship.
Sebastian Vettel’s name was initially suggested as a potential replacement, but reports indicate that Red Bull will not fill Marko’s position and leave it vacant for the time being.
Vettel, who retired from F1 in 2022, has shown interest in environmental and equality projects, though rumors of a return to a leadership role at Red Bull have been downplayed by the German champion.
It remains to be seen if Red Bull will stick to this decision or if circumstances might change in the future regarding the vacant role left by Marko.
