He hasn't really been the same since he ended up in the tyres when leading at Hockenheim in 2018.
That error, along with Hamilton gaining the upper hand in the '18 title race seemed to have a pretty major psychological effect.
I don’t think his heart is in it either to be honest, even more so from Canada 2019 where it was a very much on the limit move but ultimately ok in my opinion, then moves like Verstappen on Leclerc at Austria were equally risky and on the limit but not penalised.

nless he feels up for a bit of a challenge and doesn’t mind slim chances of a podium over the next couple of years. Means Hülkenberg might be back though
Thing is though he is not like that and all
No he’s not really, hence why realistically his best chance of staying was McLaren as they do seem on the up already and a switch back to Mercedes power should help a little as well. Far out move would be Red Bull but that’s only be if one of their current drivers got a better offer elsewhere like Verstappen at Mercedes for 2021 for example. Again all very unlikely.
