George Russell or Kimi Antonelli may fear for their Mercedes future if Max Verstappen becomes available at the end of the season.
Team principal Toto Wolff has tried to pinch the four-time world champion in the past, but he has remained loyal to Red Bull.
Now, Wolff is expected to remain loyal to his two current drivers.
According to Autosport, the Austrian is ‘satisfied’ with his line-up, and his attitude towards hiring Verstappen ‘appears to have changed’.
