Helmut Marko has played a crucial role in the achievements accumulated by Red Bull over the years. Red Bull’s F1 team has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons during the 2024 F1 season. They are already dealing with a complicated situation and rumors surrounding them. Amid all this, their team consultant, Helmut Marko, is now facing scrutiny!
According to recent developments, it has been revealed that Red Bull is conducting an investigation against Helmut Marko. The investigation is focused on leaks on social media. It has also come to light that Marko himself mentioned the possibility of being suspended for the race weekend in Australia in an interview with the Austrian channel ORF. When asked if he could be suspended from Monday, Marko replied:
Despite the ongoing investigation into leaks on social media, Helmut Marko took the opportunity to talk about Red Bull’s star driver, Max Verstappen. Marko and Verstappen have a close bond. Verstappen has previously stated that he would leave Red Bull if Marko no longer was part of the team. Interestingly, Verstappen’s contract includes a clause that allows him to leave if Marko is fired. Marko recognizes the value Verstappen brings to Red Bull and commented:
The combination of Marko and Verstappen has been crucial to Red Bull’s success. It is important to highlight that Marko played a significant role in bringing Verstappen to F1 at a young age. Losing both in the coming months would be a major setback for the Austrian team.
