Marko gives HUGE update on Red Bull future after Horner chaos

Red Bull stalwart Helmut Marko has given an update on the status of the team moving forward, following a tumultuous few weeks.

The world champions have been plagued by speculation surrounding the futures of key figures and rumoured infighting, with Jos Verstappen even admitting he had a 'falling out' with team principal Christian Horner.

It all started with an internal investigation into Horner's conduct, following accusations of alleged 'inappropriate behaviour', an investigation that was completed and cleared the 50-year-old of any wrongdoing.

Since then, the positions of Horner, Adrian Newey and Max Verstappen have been called into question, with Marko understood to have held a meeting with Red Bull managing director Oliver Mintzlaff during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with a potential suspension on the cards for the 80-year-old.

However, Marko himself revealed that there were 'very good conversations' in the meeting, and that he intended to carry on with the world champions.

Now, the Austrian has stated that there is a sense of normality around the team, particularly with successive one-two finishes to open the season, putting the Milton Keynes-based team on track for another sublime season.

"I think the car was good in all areas," Marko told Sky Germany after the Saudi Arabian GP.

"Tyre wear was also very good. Maybe not so pleasant for the spectators, but we were superior and you just have to admit that. Luckily no safety car came at the end, otherwise we were afraid that we would lose Perez's second place due to the five-second penalty."

Speaking on the events of the last few weeks specifically, Marko said: "The world is back to normal after two double podiums."
