Opening up in an interview with Austria’s OE24, Marko explained that he’s enjoying some quiet time back in Graz in his ‘day’ job as a hotelier, but confirmed that there will be talks ‘next week’ about whether he will continue to work as strenuously as Red Bull’s motorsport consultant from now on.
One tenuous possibility put to Marko was that Horner’s role in F1 could be broadened to oversee both Red Bull and AlphaTauri, which Marko didn’t outright deny.
“There are different trends and variants,” he said.
“The decisions are still open – including what I will do next. My current contract runs until the end of 2024.”
However, PlanetF1.com understands there is no possibility of Horner ever taking over from the retiring Franz Tost as team boss for Red Bull’s second squad.
