Sebastian Vettel has been tipped by F1 fans to take over Helmut Marko's role at Red Bull when the Austrian retires.
Marko oversees Red Bull's driver development and has produced F1 talent such as Vettel himself, as well as Max Verstappen.
Vettel, who won four F1 titles with Red Bull, retired as a driver at the end of the 2022 campaign following a short stint with Aston Martin.
More recently however, the 37-year-old has been linked with a return to the sport - albeit in a much different role.
Vettel has confirmed that he has been in talks with Marko over a potential return to Red Bull - but did not specify in what capacity.
RacingNews365 asked you, the fans, if you thought Vettel would be a good fit at Red Bull in Marko's role.
Over 70 per cent of votes declared the German suitable for the role, while less than 20 per cent feel Marko can't be replaced by one individual.
See the results of the poll below!
