However, he now thinks that his future working with them may be up in the air and he may not even make it until the Saudi Arabia GP on March 24.
De Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren revealed the news on social media during qualifying for the upcoming race in Jeddah.
He claimed that Marko had spoken to Austrian broadcaster ORF and stated that there was a “theoretical possibility” that Red Bull could suspend him.
And he was, therefore, unsure on whether he would be present for when the F1 season hits Melbourne in a fortnight.
His potential suspension could have a huge impact on reigning champ Max Verstappen. F1-Insider have stated that the Dutchman’s presence at Red Bull is partially down to the experienced advisor being involved with the team.
That report also claims that if the Austrian departs, then Verstappen could activate an exit clause in his contract.
