Helmut Marko has revealed the reasons why he’s leaving Red Bull’s Formula 1 project at the end of the year, citing Max Verstappen’s 2025 title loss as a major factor.
Marko is ending a 25-year stint as one of Red Bull’s bosses in motorsport, having led its Junior Team since 2001 and acted as an advisor for the brand’s F1 squads since 2005. The Austrian played a key role in the rise of four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel and helped Red Bull secure Verstappen’s services when the Dutch youngster was in Formula 3.
