A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.

Earlier, Marko reacted with frustration at Red Bull's correlation issues, as the on track performance did not match the data from the simulator. Despite this setback, he saw strengths in the three young Red Bull drivers, complimenting the New Zealander, Lawson, on his performance following his demotions from Red Bull.
"A very good day for Yuki and for all of our young drivers. Hadjar did well, and Lawson recovered," the Austrian said in conversation with Sky Sports F1, after the first two practice sessions.
