Helmut Marko has confirmed his interest in Mercedes junior driver Esteban Ocon. He told Sky Sports F1 that he would discuss something if he was free from a Mercedes contract. Over recent weeks Pascal Wehrlein has left Mercedes to seek opportunities elsewhere. Currently, it looks like Ocon will miss out on a seat in F1 next season, but Marko opens up the chance of him replacing Brendon Hartley at Toro Rosso. 
Surely this just gives Ocon an extra headache? He's in an awkward positon but will Mercedes be happy to let him go, will he be happy to leave Mercedes? He's got a lot to think about!
