The future of AlphaTauri was unclear following reports new Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff was unhappy with the Faenza team's performance.
Amid a troubled season start, Marko acknowledged in March that AlphaTauri had to improve both its on-track performances and its commercial output.
The following month it was announced long-time team boss Franz Tost would depart at the end of the season, being replaced by Ferrari's Laurent Mekies. Former FIA secretary general Peter Bayer will become the team's CEO.
After weeks of evaluation, Red Bull has now finalised how the new-look AlphaTauri team will operate.
It had considered the sale of the team, but that has now been ruled out. AlphaTauri's current Faenza base near Imola will remain the team's main hub, but it will also employ more staff from its UK outpost in Bicester.
Currently Bicester houses AlphaTauri's aerodynamics department, but more staff will be deployed there to improve its synergy with parent team Red Bull.
"The decision has been made. AlphaTauri will remain fully owned by Red Bull and will continue to be run as a junior team," Red Bull advisor Marko revealed in a YouTube interview with Autosport's sister website Formel1.de.
But according to Marko, Mintzlaff asked the team to "use as many synergies with Red Bull Racing as are allowed by the regulations", which means moving more staff to Bicester, which is just down the road from Red Bull's F1 headquarters in Milton Keynes.
"The cooperation with Red Bull Racing will be closer, also in terms of cost cap and synergies." Marko clarifies. "With his know-how, which he has acquired at the FIA, [Bayer] is very important. Of course, this will also flow into Red Bull Racing."
