Marko: Max is not just a racer, he is the face of the team.

      Former Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko advises Max Verstappen to refrain from changing teams…

      Helmut Marko: “It would be better for Max and for Red Bull if they continue their collaboration. I believe they are on the right track. It would be appropriate if this is announced soon. Max is not just a driver; he is the face of the racing team.

      I still communicate with Max from time to time. We keep in touch, talk about various topics, and discuss Formula 1. My heart still beats for Red Bull. The start of the season has been challenging for them, but gradually the team is finding its form. I am very glad about this; it is important for their future.

      I am impressed by Isaac Hajar's speed in qualifying, where he has already outpaced Max three times. That deserves respect. Now he needs to improve his race results and work better with the tires.

      I also like Arvid Lindblad; he is having a great first season in Formula 1 – everything indicates that he has enormous potential. The same goes for Nikola Tsolov. I believe he has a bright future. I think he will look good in Formula 1 and bring a lot of positive emotions to Red Bull.
