Helmut Marko wants Vettel as his successor

Helmut Marko wants Vettel as his successor

      Last Sunday, Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko celebrated his 82nd birthday. The Austrian specialist is not going to resign yet, but on the air of the German TV channel Sky Sport he told who he sees as his successor as a consultant to Red Bull.

      Helmut Marko: "I think Sebastian would be an ideal candidate for the role of successor. Obviously, at some point I will no longer be able to do my job, not least because of my age, since constant flights around the world are not as easy as it seems.

      It would be great if a guy like Sebastian could take on this role. On the one hand, he is already involved in a youth program, helping karting athletes in Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, he will be able to provide the Formula 1 team with strategic leadership.

      Sebastian knows what he wants to do in the future, and first of all it's motorsport. He may be a landowner in Austria with his hunting grounds, but all this can be combined."
