Helmut Marko had no intentions of quitting F1

Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team advisor Helmut Marko has said that he has got no plans to retire just yet. The 76-year-old still flies all around the world with the team and he has no intention of this stopping anytime soon.

"As long as I can perform this work mentally, I can continue to do so," Marko told Motorsport-total. com.

“I don't understand why some people are so upset that they have to fly a lot. The majority of people crave such adventures and I fly with a certain degree of comfort."

Marko spent two years as a driver in Formula One, making ten race entries, first appearing at the German Grand Prix in 1971.

On the whole, it has been a positive season for Aston Martin Red Bull Racing with Max Verstappen currently fifth in the drivers' standings and Alex Albon eighth.
