Helmut Marko has played a crucial role in the achievements that Red Bull has accumulated throughout the years. The Red Bull F1 team has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons during the 2024 F1 season. They are already dealing with a complicated situation and rumors surrounding them. Amidst all this, their team adviser, 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 various social media leaks. It has also come to light that Marko himself mentioned the possibility of being suspended for the Australian race weekend in an interview with Austrian broadcaster ORF. When asked if he could be suspended starting from Monday, Marko responded:
Despite the ongoing investigation into the social media leaks, Helmut Marko took the opportunity to talk about Red Bull’s star driver, Max Verstappen. Marko and Verstappen share a close bond. Verstappen has previously stated that he would leave Red Bull if Marko is no longer part of the team. Interestingly, Verstappen’s contract includes a clause that allows him to leave if Marko is dismissed. Marko recognizes the value that Verstappen brings to Red Bull and commented:
The combination of Marko and Verstappen has been instrumental in Red Bull’s success. It is important to note that Marko played a significant role in bringing Verstappen into F1 at a young age. Losing both of them in the coming months would be a major setback for the Austrian team.
