Helmut Marko: We need to switch to V8 engines as soon as possible.

      Helmut Marko has resigned but continues to follow events in Formula 1 and comment on them for the press. In an interview for RTL, the former Red Bull motorsport advisor called the intention to return to V8 engines the right move.

      Helmut Marko: "The steps taken so far are clearly insufficient. It shouldn't be the case that during qualifying the car slows down on the track without any intention from the driver. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

      The fact that discussions about V8 have already begun is a good sign. The sooner this transition happens, the better.

      Max's possible departure from Formula 1 would be a big loss, but that's how sport works. When someone leaves, a new star always emerges in their place. It's not about whether modern Formula 1 appeals to Max or not. It's about racing, which has strayed far from the original nature of Formula 1."
