Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko is to hold talks this winter with the Formula 1 team to decide whether or not he continues in his role next season
Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko will have discussions this winter with the Formula 1 team to determine if he will continue in his role next season, amid speculation of potential retirement. Marko has been with Red Bull since its F1 entry in 2005, contributing significantly to the team’s past title successes. Recent reports suggest a shift in Marko’s stance towards stepping back from his senior involvement in the team. The organizational restructuring under new team boss Laurent Mekies may lead to a mutual decision for Marko to relinquish his F1 role. Marko’s public criticism during the Qatar GP and subsequent backlash against Kimi Antonelli may also influence this decision. While Marko confirmed discussions about his future, final decisions are pending as Red Bull prepares for a new era as an engine manufacturer in 2026.
