Red Bull and Helmut Marko have reportedly come to an agreement over the conclusion of his Red Bull contract.
Marko's future had been uncertain with the world champions and there was speculation that he was on the cusp of reducing his role or even cutting his ties with them at the conclusion of his contract in 2023. But towards the end of December, Marko revealed he would stay with the team through the 2024 campaign - attending all 24 races for the season under a new deal. It put an end to speculation over his future but now reports of more details of his tenure with the team have been unveiled.According to the Mirror, Red Bull and Marko have agreed a new three-year deal meaning he will be staying with the team until he is at least 83.The report adds that Marko will continue to work as a key adviser to team principal Christian Horner.Given Marko is not an official employee of the racing team, his salary will not count towards the team's budget cap.Marko's extension at the team could be good news for the likes of Lawson, who he remains keen to promote to an F1 seat in the near future after starring as a stand-in for Daniel Ricciardo last term. Marko revealed that despite his advancing years, he has no intention of slowing down despite teams facing what could be a taxing record 24-race season. "My future has been clarified in a positive sense," he told OE24. "Everything will proceed as planned. What if I do all 24 races? Yes, and it won't be stressful for me. "If I said to myself that this is a crazy schedule, it would be difficult. "The reality is I tell myself that Australia is beautiful and I can't wait to be in Melbourne. "I will continue my work for Red Bull Racing from 11am on Friday morning to Sunday evening. I cannot wait."

F1 Academy managing director Susie Wolff has stated that she is 'deeply insulted' by allegations aimed at her and Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, after the FIA opened up an investigation regarding a potential conflict of interest. Wolff and her husband are understood to be at the centre of an FIA investigation over a potential conflict of interest that alleges the pair are benefitting from the passing of confidential information to one another in their respective roles. Although neither of the Wolffs, nor Mercedes, have officially been named by the FIA, the team recently posted a statement defending themselves in the light of certain accusations coming to light. On Tuesday, the sport's governing body said: "The FIA is aware of media speculation centred on the allegation of information of a confidential nature being passed to an F1 team principal from a member of FOM personnel. "The FIA Compliance Department is looking in to the matter." And now Susie has taken to social media to hit back any and all allegations that have been made against her, something she believes is rooted in 'misogynistic behaviour'. Wolff denies allegations “I am deeply insulted but sadly unsurprised by the public allegations that have been made this evening,” she penned. “It is disheartening that my integrity is being called into question in such a manner, especially when it seems to be rooted in intimidatory and misogynistic behaviour, and focused on my marital status rather than my abilities. “Throughout my career in motorsport, I have encountered and overcome numerous obstacles and I refuse to let these baseless allegations overshadow my dedication and passion for F1 Academy. “As a woman in this sport, I have faced my fair share of challenges but my commitment to breaking down barriers and paving the way for future generations to succeed remains unwavering. “In the strongest possible terms, I reject these allegations.”
The British F1=team Williams have opted to retain Sargeant for a second campaign despite his troubled 2023 season.
The 22-year-old, who scored just one point throughout the season, will race alongside Alex Albon, with the London-born Thai's place already announced. "I am thrilled to be continuing with Williams Racing for the 2024 season," Sargeant said on Friday. "It has been an incredible journey with the team so far and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue developing as a driver within such a talented and dedicated group. "We have exciting plans for the future and I can't wait to contribute to the team's success in the coming year." Sargeant claimed his maiden point in Formula One, the first American to score in the sport since Michael Andretti 30 years ago for McLaren, after Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were both disqualified from the United States Grand Prix in Austin in October. Albon finished the year with an impressive 27 points to help Williams land seventh in the constructors' championship, the team's best result for six seasons. "I am pleased to continue our journey with Logan into 2024," said team principal James Vowles. "Logan has demonstrated immense skill whilst under the pressure of the world stage, making him a perfect fit for our team. "We have great confidence in his abilities and believe that together we can achieve even greater success in the upcoming season." The Formula One season will start in Bahrain on March 2.
