Marko: “I won’t stand in the way” if Verstappen wishes to leave Red Bull
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko stated he will not obstruct Max Verstappen if he decides to pursue other opportunities. Despite dominating the track in the Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend, off-track issues, including an investigation into team principal Christian Horner’s conduct, have caused a stir within the team. An anonymous email with alleged evidence was sent to rival teams and F1 officials, reigniting tensions within the Red Bull camp. Speculation suggests that Verstappen may leave Red Bull, with a potential break clause in place if Marko departs. Marko emphasized that he will not impede Verstappen’s departure, indicating a willingness to allow the Dutch driver to explore new options.
