80-year-old Helmut Marko puts his pension where the sun doesn't shine and extends the contract.
Some people refuse to spend their last years behind the geraniums. They remain in the harness until the last breath is breathed. Or they continue to work until it is no longer possible, and then retire. It is no longer possible to really enjoy your pension for a long time.
Helmut Marko extends contract
Helmut Marko, the dinosaur within Red Bull Racing, has no intention of stopping. The Austrian has reportedly extended his contract for another three years. Several sources report this, including Formula.hu
This means that Helmut Marko's contract will not expire until he is 84 years old. The former Formula 1 driver apparently still enjoys it too much at Red Bull Racing.
Marko is not a grandfather who hangs around in the pit box. The opinion and expertise of the Austrian is very important within the organization. A driver like Max Verstappen also attaches great importance to the 80-year-old's judgment. Together with Christian Horner, Marko has been the face of Red Bull Racing for many years.
The past few years have perhaps been the best for the former driver. With world championship after world championship, Marko is having a great time, who is on top of it every race weekend when Max crosses the line first.
By extending the contract, we can in any case count on bold statements from Helmut Marko for years to come, should his health permit. You can say what you want about the Austrian, but he is not a boring guy. No “ok grandpa let's get you to bed” for Marko. The Red Bull Racing CEO still wants to have his say until at least 2026.
