Helmut Marko Reflects on Red Bull Driver Calls Before 2026 Exit

Ahead of his Red Bull exit for 2026, Marko defended his driver decisions, citing departures like Ricciardo, Sainz and Gasly. “Was I wrong about the drivers?

Marko added F1 “pressure multiplies” and “many drivers have collapsed.” His one regret: missing Norris — talks “never gone beyond a first contact.”
