Marko's future Red Bull plans revealed

Following this meeting with the managing director of the wider Red Bull brand, Marko confirmed that Mintzlaff had been at the circuit for just a few hours, but that talks had been positive.

The Red Bull advisor has been with the Formula 1 team since their inception into the sport back in 2005, and hopes to maintain his position into the future.

"It was a very good conversation," he told Sky Germany ahead of the race in Saudi Arabia.

"Of course calmness needs to return to the team. That is a priority, but we agreed on all points.

"I'll carry on," the Austrian defiantly clarified, before talking about his length of contract with the world champions: "Three years, but as I said, things have to calm down."
