Red Bull’s notorious senior advisor, Helmut Marko, has once again placed a Red Bull driver under scrutiny for failing to meet expectations. Known for his candid opinions, Marko and the team have proven their willingness to make tough decisions when necessary.
While Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon are often cited as examples of drivers who fell short at Red Bull, there are numerous others who never even make it to Formula 1. Marko oversees Red Bull’s driver program and keeps a close eye on aspiring talents across various racing competitions.
“When we decide to support a driver, there’s always a second season,” Marko explained during an interview on the Inside Line F1 podcast. “I watch the races, and in Milton Keynes, we have Guillaume Rocquelin, known as Rocky, who meticulously analyzes data from our database.”
