Dr Helmut Marko to leave Red Bull motorsport advisor role

Red Bull's long-serving Motorsport Advisor, Dr. Helmut Marko, will depart the team at the end of the year, concluding a remarkable two-decade tenure. Marko has been pivotal to Red Bull's success, overseeing six Constructors' and eight Drivers' World Championships, and instrumental in establishing the highly successful Red Bull Junior Programme. He famously nurtured talents like Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel, both multi-world champions. Marko stated that narrowly missing the World Championship this season deeply moved him, indicating it was the right time to end his intense and successful chapter. His departure marks the end of an extraordinary era, leaving a significant void in Red Bull's motorsport operations.
