 | Ex-F1 driver Albers: Marco could have organized Horner`s departure. Helmut`s shelf life is also coming to an end.23-03-2026 |
Albers believes that Marco should follow Horner in leaving Red Bull. Former Formula 1 driver Christian Albers has admitted that Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko had a hand in the dismissal of team leader Christian Horner.
According to the expert, Red Bull should get rid of the Austrian and begin rebuilding the team.
Doctor Marco could organize something like this. He was a confidant of Dietrich Mateschitz.
But Christian Horner was successful, they both worked great. However, I believe that Dr. Marco`s shelf life is also coming to an end.
What I like about the Verstappens is their loyalty. They fully support everyone who has helped them. But when you see certain statements [by Marco], I think they no longer correspond to today`s times. And I wonder if he`s in the right place. Maybe now it’s worth radically changing course and making way for a new generation, the expert said in the De Telegraaf podcast.
Albers believes that Marco has a negative influence on Red Bull, even if he is not involved in the team on a day-to-day basis.
But it still affects pilots. I think this is a serious factor. Who gets a place and who doesn`t? Personally, I think he is tactless in some interviews. You could say he`s never been tactful, but now it`s approaching rudeness. This is not good for the team.
Helmut Marko: I would like to sincerely thank Christian Horner for everything - we have successfully collaborated for more than 20 years
Remember where Red Bull started? Bought a team for a dollar, got confused with the pilots, threw a party for the rivals
