Dr Helmut Marko has played down the latest wild rumours about Red Bull’s involvement in Formula 1. Rumours suggest Marko and new Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff, 47, do not get along, which could lead to 79-year-old Marko quitting his prominent role. “I can only say that I will be with Red Bull in Salzburg on Wednesday,” Marko told the Swiss newspaper Blick. “We are still in contact,” Marko said when asked about the 35-year-old German. However, former F1 driver Marko refused to rule out a scenario in which he may call time on his long involvement in Formula 1 and with Red Bull.
