Helmut Marko Weighs Red Bull Future as Report Points to Year-End Exit

Sources say his exit would cap a leadership reset during Red Bull’s review for 2026.

Overview

  • Helmut Marko said he will hold talks before deciding on his role after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, calling the situation complex.
  • The Times reports, citing unnamed sources, that Marko is expected to leave at the end of the year after weeks of internal review.
  • Team principal Laurent Mekies said the organisation routinely assesses and adjusts its structure, thanking Marko for his support this year.
  • Marko, 82, has been a central figure since 2005 and was reported to have been involved in Christian Horner’s July dismissal.
