Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko has been officially warned by the FIA for his comments about Sergio Pérez.
Last Friday, Marko apologized via a Red Bull-owned TV channel in Austria for comments he made about Pérez, in which he attributed the driver’s inconsistent form this season to his ethnicity.
Marko, a former racing driver and close friend of the late Red Bull co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz, made his first comments at the Italian Grand Prix.
An FIA spokesperson said Sky Sports News: “We can confirm that Helmut Marko has received a written warning and been reminded of his responsibilities as a public figure in motorsport, in accordance with the FIA Code of Ethics.”
