The teams know that they don't have to be held to ransom by drivers anymore because they are easier to drive.
If Mercedes believe they can get a cheaper driver in that will get the job done (I suspect they know of a few) there word be no need to pander to the fragile ego of their 'no1' driver.
I can see 1 or both Mercedes seats changing unless their drivers get real.
One Ferrari seat will be open.
Possibly a Red Bull unless Kyvat can get closer to Ricciardo.
Williams changes depend on the Bottas stories.
All the other drives depend on money.
