The Red Bull chief's former charge Sebastian Vettel, who will leave Ferrari at the end of the year, is being linked with a move to Mercedes for 2021.
Others say Vettel could go to 'Aston Martin' - which according to speculation may in fact be the works Mercedes team's new identity for 2021.
"Let's wait and see what developments are going on at Mercedes," Marko told Osterreich newspaper. "I hear that a lot is happening there in terms of personnel."
