Sky Sports F1 star reveals Helmut Marko called him a ‘trained monkey’
An 82-year-old former Red Bull advisor, Helmut Marko, recently resigned from his role despite having a contract until 2026 and was accused of making inappropriate comments, such as calling a Sky Sports F1 star a “trained monkey.”
Marko played a pivotal role in Red Bull’s success, scouting champion drivers like Vettel and Verstappen, but his behavior towards media personnel, like Ted Kravitz, was reportedly not always pleasant.
Kravitz shared an incident where Marko referred to him as a “trained monkey” waiting for an interview, which reflects Marko’s controversial interactions.
As Marko exits, the question now arises: Who will replace him at Red Bull and continue the legacy of scouting top talents for the team?
The future of Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls may hinge on finding and nurturing young, talented drivers to maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming years.
