Helmut Marko will leave Red Bull after 20 years advising their Formula 1 teams; Marko has been an ally of four-time world champion Max Verstappen, who pays tribute to Austrians belief in me; Red Bull say it was the 82-year-olds decision to step down
Has any reason been given? Given that he’s 82 I’m assuming he’s retiring, but I wouldn’t put it past Lawrence Stroll to offer him a private yacht full of cash…
Narrowly missing out on the world championship this season has moved me deeply and made it clear to me that now is the right moment for me personally to end this very long, intense, and successful chapter.
Marko has a contract for 2026. Right now no one is confirming this Sky reporting, but if Marko is actually leaving then surely it is coming from up high. It could be Oliver Mintzlaff trying to create a new team at RBR, given how much has changed already.

Thanks, though I don’t feel I’ve gained any more into!
