Honestly, this place doesn't half surface some rubbish at times.
Do you really think the guy who is second in the WDC (to his teammate) is at risk of losing his seat?

Bottas' contract won't be renewed - his face during both pre-race and post-race interviews said it all. He's lost his nerve too many times this season and Toto knows he's spoilt for choice of much better talent further down the grid...

Question is, would be want to go back to red bull, if asked?
A racing driver who declines a racing car which is a second a lap quicker and has the potential to fight for podiums and wins is no racing driver at all IMO.There's history..
It's essentially the same team - certainly the same owners (obviously) If he had a problem, it'd be present where he is now??
I don't think he's there purely because he wants his red bull seat back, he probably wouldn't want the pressure of dealing with max and Helmut.. . he's probably happy just to be in f1 still, and be getting a pay cheque as anyone would....

Didn't he get let go of completely? After heading back to toro rosso? Then got drafted back in to toro rosso? Wasn't he a Ferrari test driver aswell... I lose track of all the happenings so please excuse me..

Yes, he was Ferrari's test driver. I don't think he's there purely because he wants his red bull seat back, he probably wouldn't want the pressure of dealing with max and Helmut.. . he's probably happy just to be in f1 still, and be getting a pay cheque as anyone would....
He'll want his Red Bull seat back, he won't care about Max, he'll want to be in a top 3 car pushing for podiums. He needs to get himself back into a top team to prove himself and put to bed what happened in 2016.
Kvyat getting the seat would be quite the story. I imagine he'd be doing his utmost to keep his nose clean. 
Tough Sunday for Gasly, just as it looked as though there was a shot at a more respectable result. Perhaps he'll get there, but his stint so far has been remarkably generous by RedBull standards.

I can see it all coming down to what happens this weekend. The Hungaroring favours the Red Bull and so if he has another weak performance there'll be a swap over the summer break.

Same goes for Haas, doubt Grosjean will make it to Spa! Wehrlein...?

He can't avoid Helmut - he decides the drivers for Toro Rosso aswell as Red Bull! Like I say, it's essentially the same team.
His mindset will 100% be to get back into the Red Bull and prove them and anyone else who doubted him that he deserves the seat.

Wehrlein would be a good shout for them - some experience, not slow (but not the next Schumacher either) and would be desperate to make a good impression with a second chance in F1.Grosjean is surely out now. It was bad enough when he was messing his own races up, but now he's affecting his teammates and seems to be yet another destabilising factor to the team. Nice enough guy, but he's been the worst driver on the grid all year.

Oh I meant gasley
Sorry mate, this post was originally about Gasley's future and was somewhat sidetracked, not least by me. Gasley's a bit of an enigma isn't he? Did really well at Toro Rosso and has dropped the ball at Red Bull. I think Christian may give him a bit longer before chopping him. I don't think the commercial pressures there will be as intense as at Mercedes - total domination is their goal! Shinynuts said:

As such, Bottas is eyeing up other opportunities: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/145314/bottas-lo...
Bottas has also been trying his hand at rally car driving ... Possible transition?
