P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Sebastian Vettel has recently been linked with a return to Red Bull, taking over the duties currently held by Helmut Marko.
Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko dismissed the idea of Sebastian Vettel succeeding him in the near future at the Milton Keynes-based squad. Vettel had considered taking over Marko’s role, given his successful stint with Red Bull in the past. However, Marko revealed that talks did not progress due to the demanding nature of the job not fitting Vettel’s preferences. The 38-year-old Vettel retired from F1 in 2022 and has been sparingly seen in the paddock since then. Marko, who has been instrumental in bringing talents like Vettel and Max Verstappen to the team, hinted at a potential future beyond his current contract that runs until the end of 2026.
