McLaren will have to wait a "long time" to get Key - Marko
內文：
Red Bull motorsport boss Helmut Marko is adamant that McLaren will not be able
to employ James Key until the Englishman's Toro Rosso contract runs out.
McLaren announced on Thursday that the Toro Rosso technical director will be j
oining the team, although it would not confirm a date.
It is understood that McLaren boss Zak Brown was talking to Red Bull about the
terms of Key's departure, but those discussions hit a snag when the story eme
rged in the media, and was subsequently confirmed by the Woking team.
It now appears that Red Bull wants Key to fulfil his contractual obligations t
o Toro Rosso.
"He has a long-term contract with Toro Rosso," Marko told Motorsport.com.
"We had a discussion with Zak, and instead of coming back to us, there was a p
ress release done.
"So we'll stick to the contract, and McLaren will have to wait for quite a lon
g time.
Marko made it clear that he expects Key to see out his contract, which is unde
rstood to stretch to 2020.
"Of course. There's a contract for quite a long time. Why do we have contracts
? We have to analyse the whole situation.
"As McLaren is making press announcements, we have to look seriously at the le
gal situation. But it's sure we won't release him earlier."
Asked if Key is on gardening leave, he said: "As far as I know he's on holiday
at the moment, and we won't put him in a position where he gets all the lates
t information, that's clear."
Marko also downplayed suggestions that Red Bull would use the situation to get
access to Lando Norris, having sounded out McLaren about the F2 frontrunner e
arlier in the year.
"It's a very clear situation, if they don't put him in an F1 seat by September
30th, he is a free, so what do you want to deal?"
Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner indicated that the senior team is also k
eeping an eye on the situation, because it has some concerns about Key's knowl
edge.
"Obviously it's a situation between James and Toro Rosso," Horner told Sky F1.
"But Red Bull Technology provide services to Toro Rosso, so IP is obviously e
xtremely sensitive.
"That's that we're pretty protective off. We're obviously keen to have an unde
rstanding of what the situation is with James and Toro Rosso in the relatively
near future."
