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.
