Helmut Marko has confirmed he will stay at the Red Bull F1 team following positive talks with CEO Oliver ꧒Mintzlaff.

The 80-year-old Austrian’s future was placed under doubt after it emerged on🃏 Friday that he could be suspended by Red Bull amid an investigation into media links relating to the controversy around under-fire team principal Christian Horner.

But after holding talks with Red Bull CEO Mintzlaff ahead of Saturday’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Marko told Sky Germany⛦ that he will be staying on 🧜in his role as motorsport advisor.

"It was a very good conversation,” Marko said. “Of course, calm must return to the tea🔜m. That has pri𒆙ority.

"W♚e agreed on all points. I will continue here. My contract still has three years to run. But calm 𒁃must return.”

ꩲMarko had confessed on Friday night that he faced poss🐎ible disciplinary action and might not be at the next race in Australia.

Marko, who is one of the most influential figures at R🎃ed Bull, had received resounding supportꦕ from Max Verstappen after qualifying.

The three-time world champion effectively warned Re🔯d Bull that he could walk away from the team if Marko did not stay.

Asked about Verstappen’s support, M♈arko replied: "It was very impressive. I am very gr🅘ateful to him for that. But he is one of the few who has strength of character and shows loyalty.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail in the Jeddah paddock, M🍰intzlaff also appeared to give public backing to Horner.

"We are focusing on the racing,” he said. “We are ꧅happy with our management."
