Red Bull Taskmaster Helmut Marko Wrapped up in a Feeling of “Emptiness” After Failed Attempts at Recovering From Tragic Loss

Being part of a large organization like Red Bull, one can start to feel invincible, especially if you’re at the top. However, life can still become a little lonely for the top honchos. This is exactly what is happening with the team’s advisor, Dr. Helmut Marko. But why is the Austrian feeling that way? It’s because he has faced some losses in recent times.

As time has passed, the Austrian is becoming somewhat lonely in his dealings. Especially after the deaths of his close ones. We are talking about the deaths of Niki Lauda and, more recently, and impactful death of Dietrich Mateschitz. The late part-Red Bull owner has left a hole in the team. Possibly, no one is feeling that more than the Austrian.

Talking about how he is feeling, Marko told RTL, “It’s getting more difficult. You have to make the decisions alone, you no longer have the opportunity to exchange ideas at the same level,” Marko says about Mateschitz: “Whenever there were problems, he saw a solution.” (Translated by Google)

According to reports, Mateschitz used to regularly call Marko right after the end of an F1 race. The Austrian is missing the personal touch after his passing. “There is a certain emptiness, and initially these five minutes and this summary were missing immediately after a race,” he adds.

The news of the Austrian billionaire’s passing was a shock to the entire world and not just to the F1 wing of the company. The company surpassed all expectations and captured all global markets since its founding. Apart from the brand, the late owner had a personal impact on his personnel as well, and Max Verstappen is proof.

Speaking to the media, after the qualifying of the US GP, Verstappen said, “I think what he has meant for Red Bull but also for the sport, and especially also for me, what he has done for me in my career so far and in general my life, it’s really tough.”
