Helmut Marko is reportedly set to leave Red Bull at the end of the season, ending his long-standing relationship with the Formula 1 team. Speculation started after the Abu Dhabi season finale, with reports from Motorsport Week and The Telegraph confirming his departure. Marko officially joined Red Bull in 1999 when his RSM Marko team transitioned to become the Red Bull Junior Team. Over the years, he has played a key role in developing talented drivers like Vettel, Verstappen, Ricciardo, and Sainz. Recent rumors suggest that Marko’s influence within Red Bull may be diminishing, with a possible rejection of a recent signing being seen as a sign of waning powers. Despite these reports, there is no official statement from Red Bull on Marko’s departure yet.
