He does not hide, however, that Red Bull is dissatisfied not only with its current relationship with engine supplier Renault, but with formula one in general.
"Formula one is in urgent need of renewal," said Marko. "The sport must be the coolest, strongest and fastest it can be.
"If the relation between the cost and what we get out of it is wrong for Red Bull, we would not go on forever."

I translate that to mean that if a Red Bull team are not dominating their chosen sport, then Red Bull loses all interest in that sport. As a casual observer of various sports, it would seem to me that Red Bull is prepared to throw whatever money is required at a project until they are consistently winning. Maybe that is the reason that they don't appear to sponsor much in the way of non-mechanised sport; it would be far more difficult to buy your way to the top if it is only human endeavour that would achieve the results, and not engineers.
