Marko has been part of the team since its founding in 2005 and became a central figure within the Milton Keynes structure. For two decades, he was responsible for the driver development program, a talent pool that brought 16 drivers to the top tier. From there, prominent names emerged such as Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, both four-time world champions, as well as renowned drivers like Daniel Ricciardo, Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly, among others.
The former driver, winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, explained his decision with an emotional message: "It has been a wonderful period in which I was able to shape the project. Everything we built and achieved together is a source of great pride for me". Even in his farewell, Marko left a sign of support for the team's future: "I sincerely hope it continues to achieve success and I'm convinced that next year it will once again fight for both titles".
Thus, Red Bull is preparing to say goodbye to one of the most influential figures in its history, while Marko brings to a close a journey of more than six decades linked to elite motorsport.
