Let's be serious. If Marko was in charge of the team then Mateschitz wouldn't have ever hired Horner.Quote:

Just read my post above. I base my conclusions on logic and info from the Austrian media who get first hand info from Marko himself during the race week ends.Quote:

Equally, we don't really know exactly how Marko's role in the team works, because Mateschitz is never asked about it, preferring as he does to restrict his media appearances to Red Bull's own in-house publications, and since Marko is (to the best of my knowledge — and I too read some of the German-language motorsport press) fairly coy about it.Quote:

Given the crap that Marko speaks sometimes it is hard to think that he is running the champion team.
What I am saying is that it's very difficult for you, as much as anyone else, to make any assumptions based on what we know and what is said in public — which, on the part of the Red Bull company hierarchy, is little.Quote:

this came from a interview on the one prerace show
Promising drive, 2012 news for Daniel Ricciardo - inMyCommunity - Perth, Western Australia
Quote:
PERTH racing driver Daniel Ricciardo is likely to be in a top-line Toro Rosso or Red Bull Formula One car as early as next year.
Red Bull Racing powerbroker Dr Helmut Marko stunned TV audiences last night when he said Mark Webber would probably retire next year.
Just a week ago Red Bull manager Christian Horner said he was certain Webber and teammate Sebastien Vettel would remain for the 2012 season, but Marko’s statement seems to have shown a dislike of Webber and opened a door for rising star Ricciardo.
It also left the TV interviewer (tom clarkson) speechless.
Marko had earlier described Ricciardo as “the new Vettel.”
In an interview with OneHD TV, Marko said “we need to find one of our juniors who can replace Mark Webber.”
He said he expected Ricciardo to improve in the Hispania Racing Team and that he had to beat his teammate Vitantonio Liuzzi and other tail-enders before he could progress to the main teams.
He's no match for Uncle Flavio?? :pQuote:
