Allison set for Renault return believes Marko

Reports doing the rounds in the Suzuka paddock that engineering guru James Allison was set to join Red Bull have been rubbished by the team's consultant Helmut Marko.

“This is total nonsense,” Marko told Auto Bild. “We’re not talking to him, but are of the opinion that he’s going back to Enstone with Renault.”

As for talk that James Key is departing Toro Rosso for Williams, Marko said, “This speculation has more of a real background."
