Helmut Marko doesn’t want to hear about a layoff.

Marko (nine-time GP participant, winner of Le Mans in 1971 in a Porsche) laughs in an exclusive interview: “That’s really a bit rushed. My next goal is the third world title with Max Verstappen. That’s what drives me!”

Mintzlaff is a tough dog

But since the death of Red Bull billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz († 78) on October 22, 2022, the situation has changed. Marko has lost his friend and closest confidant.

The German Oliver Mintzlaff (47) has recently become responsible for the sports department at the manufacturer of energy drinks. And the former manager at Puma and football director at RB Leipzig must be a sharp dog and change a lot, especially in Formula 1.

Hot session on Wednesday

You hear about the dismissal of Mateschitz intimately Helmut Marko, the replacement of team principal Franz Tost (67) at Alpha Tauri-Honda – or even the sale of the second Bulls team.

Marko about Blick: “I can only say that I will be with Red Bull in Salzburg on Wednesday. And those topics are not on the agenda there.” But exactly: where smoke rises, there is usually also fire.

Vettel has to find himself first

Marko on the comeback topic of Sebastian Vettel (35, four-time world champion with Red Bull): “We are in touch more often. Seb is still in the self-discovery phase at the moment. I don’t think he wants to travel to every race again and work more With significantly less pay!»

But the topic is – because of Mintzlaff – certainly not off the table. Marko: «As a multiple hotel owner, my advantage is my independence. But as I said, if you can coach the best driver with Verstappen, resigning is not a problem. My situation would certainly be different with a different pilot combination!”

“Mercedes wants to know!”

And how does the season go after the longest break? Marko: “Mercedes wants to know, of course, is coming back to Baku with new updates. And Ferrari has so far been undervalued. However, I do not understand that team boss Vasseur sees everything in a positive light.”
