The 23-year-old has been left behind by team-mate Max Verstappen in their first year together, and things hit a new low in Austria when he was lapped by the Dutchman.
The team responded to Gasly’s complaints and completed a thorough check of the chassis, but after finding no issues, Marko warned Gasly that the excuses now need to stop and he must improve.
“There was a bit of an excuse for Austria,” Marko told Motorsport-Total.com.
“We burned all the front wings in the practice sessions, so he didn’t have the same front wing as Max, but that doesn’t explain the gap.”
Marko confirmed that the team will support Gasly, but he has to stop blaming the chassis.

“It [the car] has to deliver now, but so does Gasly,” added Marko.
“He was always looking for issues with the car, in the chassis. We have looked through this. There was nothing.
“The plan now is to support him as much as possible. He gets Max’s set-up from the start, because he’s the more experienced driver and has the more experienced engineering team.
“He can mess around with it, but he can’t seriously move away from it – he was experimenting with his set-up before and jumping from one extreme to the other.”
