Helmut Marko has confirmed he will stay at the Red Bull F1 team following positive talks with CEO Ol🍷iver♎ Mintzlaff.

The 80-year-old Austrian’s future was placed under doubt after it emerg🌟ed 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 S🎃aturday’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 convers♊ation,” ༒Marko said. “Of course, calm must return to the team. That has priority.

"We a💯greed on all points. I will continue here. My contract still has three years to run. But calm must return.”

Marko had confessed on Friday night that he faced possible disciplinary action and might not be at the next race in𓄧 Australia.

Marko, who is one of t♌he most influential figures at Red Bull, had received resounding support from Max Verstappen after qualifying.

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

Asked about Verstappen’s support, Marko repꦅlied: "It was very impressive. I am very grateful to him for that. But he is one of the few wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚho has strength of character and shows loyalty.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail in the Jeddah paddo𓄧ck, Mintzlaff also appeared to give public backing to Horner.

"We are foc♐using on the racing,” he said. “We are happy with our management."
