Marko’s role as Red Bull’s motorsport advisor is uncertain following speculations about a possible suspension, revealed during the events in Saudi Arabia. The ongoing investigation by Red Bull focuses on suspicions of Marko being linked to the leaking of confidential information related to allegations against team principal Christian Horner. Despite efforts to maintain secrecy, details concerning Horner’s case found their way to the public, jeopardizing Marko’s position. His meeting with Red Bull’s managing director in Saudi Arabia this Saturday will determine his future with the team, crucial for the F1 team especially considering Max Verstappen’s potential departure.
