Former Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has addressed a potential return to the F1 grid in the future.<\/p>\n
Marko was a senior presence inside Red Bull’s team throughout its history and played a key role in bringing drivers such as Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo to the team.<\/p>\n
However, at the end of the 2025 season, Marko declared his exit from the team, bringing the curtain down on a two-decade stint with the squad.<\/p>\n
Marko admitted that he is enjoying not having the stress of Red Bull’s latest project weighing on his shoulders.<\/p>\n
“I’m not completely involved anymore, but I’m up to speed,” he told ORF.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The nice thing is that I don’t feel any pressure, so I don’t lie awake with thoughts like, ‘What if the engine doesn’t work, or something else doesn’t?’ and so on.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t have that direct responsibility anymore. Of course I am interested in getting the best possible result for Red Bull, but the situation is much more relaxed now.\u201c<\/p>\n
However, as speculation mounts over his future, Marko asserted he has no interest in returning to the F1 grid in a new role.<\/p>\n
“Yes, it is 100 per cent out of the question that I will return to Formula 1,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
“I have had very obscure and interesting requests and conversations at times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I have become successful in F1 with Red Bull and that should continue. Nothing else will take its place.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has addressed a potential return to the F1 grid in the future.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-421946","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-daniel-ricciardo","11":"tag-f1-calendar","12":"tag-f1-live","13":"tag-f1-results","14":"tag-f1-standings","15":"tag-ferrari","16":"tag-formula-1","17":"tag-lewis-hamilton","18":"tag-max-verstappen","19":"tag-motor","20":"tag-motor-sports","21":"tag-motorsport","22":"tag-motosport","23":"tag-motosports","24":"tag-racing","25":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
