Vettel confirms talks with Red Bull on return

      In recent years, Helmut Marko has repeatedly said that he sees Sebastian Vettel as his successor as a consultant to Red Bull. On Austrian television, the four-time world champion confirmed that he was negotiating with his former team to return to the role of adviser or head of the youth program.

      Sebastian Vettel: "There have been a few headlines on this topic lately. I have a very good relationship with Helmut, and we are discussing this issue with him. So far, all these conversations are preliminary and without any specifics, but I can really play my role in the team, but time will tell exactly what.

      I have to say that I've moved away from Formula 1 in the last few years, but Helmut knows what he's doing, and no matter what happens, there's a lot to learn from him. I consider him indispensable. He's done a lot for the team since 2005 and maybe they're not going to change him.

      Helmut has said several times that he plans to retire, but for now he continues to work, and I wish him to stay in office as long as possible. Helmut is a tough realist, and he will know when it's time for him to stop."
