As reported by RacingNews365, the Austrian Helmut Marko – current Red Bull manager – seems to have renewed his contract for another three years.
Marko's statements to the broadcaster OE24
A few weeks ago there were rumors of an imminent training camp from the automotive scene of the executive and former driver, Helmut Marko. The Austrian, symbol of Milton Keynes stables, however, he silenced the rumors by speaking to the broadcaster OE24 of a stay in the Circus for the entire 2024 season.
He also added that he will be present at all the races on the calendar, despite his considerable number and age. In April she will turn 81.
Marko's renewal with Red Bull for another 3 years
Per Marko age seems to be just a number, he has the desire to do and the determination of a young man. This is demonstrated by his admirable approach towards work, in fact he intends to witness other victories of his driver - and protégé - Max Verstappen.
The Austrian advisor of Red Bull, according to rumors, would have signed un contract lasting three years which would mean his presence on the track until 2026 when he will be 83 years old.
However, he had opened the door to retirement following the death of his friend Dietrich Mateschitz and the retirement of the driver Sebastian Hag, considered by himself to be a worthy substitute if he had the desire to undertake this career.
The old contract
2023 was the last year of the previous contract and, therefore, the birth of rumors about his hypothetical retirement. Probably the good season and the desire to continue to see Max win convinced him to extend his presence in Formula 1.
Although uncertainty about both possibilities - withdrawal and renewal - is still present, the Austrian manager seems intent on staying in the paddock for a while longer. His stay will therefore last until the new era of the power unit entered the scene.
He will, therefore, be present during the difficult change of the team that will see a own engine and the technological help of Ford.
