Mercedes F1 team principal Toto Wolff has hinted at inviting long-time Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko to the German team.
It was previously reported that Marko may leave the Bulls over allegations of disclosing information about Red Bull's internal case against Christian Horner.
Motorsport-Total quotes Wolff as saying:
Toto Wolff
We miss our old mascot (Niki Lauda), so we just take Helmut with us. He's the right age. He just doesn't have a red cap, but he can join us.
Earlier, the head of Mercedes hinted at negotiations with Sebastian Vettel. Earlier the head of Red Bull Christian Horner commented on rumors about the transfer of Max Verstappen to Mercedes.
