Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko will be under investigation due to the potential involvement of leaking information against Christian Horner.
Marko told Australian broadcaster ORF that there was a chance he could miss the upcoming race in Australia.
Things surrounding Marko could be an indicator to Max Verstappen’s future as he and Marko have a very good relationship. Vestappen stated, “I have always expressed this to everyone within the team, everyone high up, that he is an important part in my decision making for all the time in the future as well within the team.”

Oliver Bearman’s successful debut 🔥
On a short’s notice, Ferrari F2 driver Oliver Bearman was called up on Friday to replace Carlos Sainz due to appendicitis.
The 18-year old ended up qualifying P11 and finished the race P7. Bearman stated after the race Lewis Hamilton had to help pull him out of the car because the race was that demanding on Bearman.
As far as when Carlos Sainz will return for the next race. There is a good chance he will be able to race in the Australian GP as he was in the F1 paddock on Saturday in the Ferrari garage.
