Helmut Marko said it was the right time "to end this very long, intense, and successful chapter" with Red Bull

Red Bull motorsport adviser Helmut Marko will leave the team after 20 years at the end of 2025.

The 82-year-old has been an integral part of Red Bull's success since the team formed in 2005, as they won six constructors' championships and eight drivers' titles.

Marko, who was the right-hand man of the late Red Bull co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz, has overseen the development of 20 drivers, most notably world champions Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, with whom the Austrian has a close relationship.

In a statement, Marko said: "I have been involved in motorsport for six decades now, and the past 20-plus years at Red Bull have been an extraordinary and extremely successful journey."
