Two of Red Bull's newest recruits heaped praise upon Helmut Marko for being a "tough" but "very honest" leader in their early experience of learning from the Austrian.
Marko leads the Red Bull junior driver programme. He has a vast amount of experience and a remarkable track record of developing young racers, but is also infamous for being hard on the youngsters.
Last year, former Red Bull junior Jaime Alguersuari spoke about his work with "several psychologists" to help him to process the "trauma" from working with "always angry" Marko. But the feeling is that the Austrian has mellowed in recent years.
