Helmut Marko is back in Austria – and like the rest of Formula 1, has to wait and see how the corona virus will affect sports.
For the Head of Motorsport at Red Bull Racing, the stay in Melbourne before the cancellation of the Australian Grand Prix was a short one. The 74-year-old spent just 14 hours in “Down Under”.
His team was one of the few who were long in the polls to tackle the race that was originally planned to start: “I was hoping that Formula 1 could set an example. In Australia, the will of the organizers and the local ones Authority there that you drive, “explains Marko in an interview with” OE24.at “and says:” I think if we had gone out on Friday, a large part would have gone on the track. “
Now the Grazer is preparing for another two and a half months of waiting. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix on June 7 is the first realistic date for an F1 race: “This Grand Prix is far away, has few spectators and a dictatorship, which is helpful in such cases.”
The Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring at the beginning of July should definitely hold up: “It has to run out. We keep all plans going.”
