Former Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has ruled out any possibility of making a comeback to the Formula 1 paddock, despite his influential role in the team for over two decades and nurturing drivers like Vettel, Verstappen, and Ricciardo.
Marko announced late last year that he would be parting ways with Red Bull after the 2025 season, leading to a calmer life for him without the intense pressure he used to face.
Despite the significant turnover at Red Bull recently, Marko is content with not having the same level of responsibility and stress he had in his former role.
While there have been offers and discussions about potential new opportunities in F1, Marko is firm in his decision to stay away from the sport and continue his successful journey with Red Bull, disregarding any chances of a return.
In a recent statement, Marko emphasized that his focus remains on maintaining Red Bull’s success and not pursuing any other path in Formula 1.
