US EditionReport: F1 legend Helmut Marko leaving Red Bull
- After Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Helmut Marko, long-serving Red Bull advisor, indicated he may leave at year's end, saying `It's not in doubt, I will have a discussion.`
- Following the July management change, Austria-based Red Bull GmbH has taken a stronger oversight role, with Austrian executives alarmed by Marko's autonomy and a comment about Kimi Antonelli.
- Helmut Marko, credited with bringing Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel into the sport, operates without a formal racing-team contract and is employed by Austria-based Red Bull GmbH.
- Mekies said Sunday evening that the team is reviewing Marko's role, and ESPN reported the situation is more complicated than a single decision.
- As Red Bull plans leadership transitions away from Marko's influence, Max Verstappen, four-time world champion, remains under a five-year contract through 2028 worth more than $275 million, underscoring retention stakes.
