Red Bull has announced the resignation of Helmut Marko from his position as team advisor.

Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko has left his post, the press service of the Formula 1 team reports.

The 82-year-old Austrian’s contract ran until the end of 2026.

— It’s very sad that Helmut is leaving us. He has been an integral part of our team and the entire Red Bull racing program for over two decades. Thus ends an extremely successful phase. His passing will leave a void and we will truly miss him.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to him for his continued support, not only in recent months, but also in my early days at Toro Rosso. For me personally, Hellmuth, along with Oliver Mintzlaff, was the driving force in bringing me back to the Red Bull family, first to Faenza and then this summer to my current position in Milton Keynes.

“Helmut is a true racer at heart, he always pushes us to the limit, always ready to take risks to achieve our goals,” said team principal Laurent Mekies.

In the completed Formula 1 championship, Red Bull became third in the Constructors’ Championship, behind McLaren and Mercedes. Team leader Max Verstappen finished second in the individual standings after four titles in a row. He was two points behind the new champion Lando Norris from McLaren.

Marco became a consultant for Red Bull and other teams of the Austrian group in 2005. Together with the racing team, he spent 417 races in Formula 1, won six championship titles in the constructors’ championship and 8 in the individual drivers’ championship.
