Four-time "Formula 1" champion Sebastian Vettel commented on the departure of "Red Bull" advisor Helmut Marko from the team.
İdman.Biz reports that 82-year-old Marko has been working as an advisor to the team since its first "Formula 1" season in 2005. During this time, "Red Bull" won the Constructors' Cup six times, and its drivers Sebastian Vettel (2010-2013) and Max Verstappen (2021-2024) each won the world championship four times.
"I was surprised like everyone else. I wish Helmut success in the future and a well-deserved retirement. He is the true architect of the success of "Red Bull" and "Toro Rosso". Not only in terms of driver selection. All decisions related to team structure, personnel selection and strategy also came from him. Marko has the right to call himself the architect of "Red Bull's" success in "Formula 1", - F1-Insider quotes Vettel.
As a driver, Marko competed in "Formula 1" Grand Prix from 1971 to 1972 and ended his career at the age of 29 due to an eye injury.
