Helmut Marko declared his Red Bull role won't be available for Sebastian Vettel any time soon – but admitted the team has stayed in touch with the retired Formula 1 legend.
Vettel walked away from the sport at the end of last season after a trophy-laden 15 year career. He won the world championship four years in a row with Red Bull before joining Ferrari, where he found success more difficult to come by, before spending his final two years as a racer with Aston Martin.
The German expressed his desire to spend more time with his wife and children, which was his main reason for retirement. The demands of the ever-growing F1 race calendar outweighed his desire to continue racing – though he refused to fully shut the door on a return one day.
