Overview
- Sky Sports and other publications report the 82-year-old advisor is set to depart after two decades, though Red Bull has not issued a formal confirmation.
- Marko told reporters in Abu Dhabi that he would hold discussions before deciding on his future, describing the situation as complex.
- Team principal Laurent Mekies said the organisation is continually reviewing its structure, praising Marko’s support during this season’s turnaround.
- Coverage attributes the push for change to Red Bull GmbH chief Oliver Mintzlaff following Christian Horner’s July removal and cites recent controversies, including Marko’s Qatar remarks about Kimi Antonelli and subsequent apology.
- Reports note Marko’s contract ran through 2026 and highlight potential implications for Red Bull’s junior programme, while suggesting Max Verstappen’s long-term plans hinge more on 2026 car performance than on Marko’s presence.
