Mercedes have had issues when both drivers are title contenders, and one of those drivers was Lewis. (Who previously had similar issues with Alonso). Given past experiences, I don't think they're eager to get themselves into that situation again. Lewis, as great as he is, become almost unmanageable. I think they're happy as long as Bottas can finish second to Lewis and disrupt others. Putting in a Vettel, Danny Ric, Max or Alonso would cause a lot of issues.
