I dont think so.

Mercedes Benz Aus arent paying for the engine deal so I dont think they have much sway in that department. As long as AMG/HWA still get paid by Erebus they'll still keep working on the engines etc.

Mercedes Aus may be narrow sighted but Norbert Haug was apparently a fan of the idea (yeah I know hes gone now), not sure what Toto Wolff thinks but as long as the money keeps rolling their way I dont think he'll be in a hurry to wrap things up.
