Doesn't matter unfortunately, he's always going to drive that Aston. Until he drives a Ferrari, Merc or Bull he's not going to go anywhere. There are three teams in F1 these days, the rest are F2.5No, he's really not...out-driven by Checo and now Seb...

SA Government was 'not aware' of financial guarantees to make F1 return possible | Sport
South Africa missed out on an opportunity to host an F1 race for the first time since 1993. And it all boils down to privateers and Government not working together for the greater good.

Only if RB release him, which they're not likely to do now that the door has closed on Herta. Only other viable option could be if they (RB) snag de Vries

DeVries appears to be the kingmaker at the moment - if he goes to Alpine then Pierre stays, If he goes to Williams (Gaotifi out) then Pierre to Alpine and AT have a spare seat... OR he goes to AT in place of Pierre, who in turn goes to Alpine and Williams take on Sargent from F2
Would Toto allow that though - they seem very tight in the back of the garage?

How would they block it if he doesn't have an active contract?
Anyone know who does "own" him? Does he just sit next to Toto because they are friends? I assumed he drove for Williams recently because Toto is a shareholder of Williams and that, by extension, Toto had a large say on De Vries....

I think he is sponsored and in the merc academy. But unless he has a contract that says he is driving for merc or for williams which the FIA has approved, he can be approached. Things we learned from the Piastri saga.
He's the reserve driver for Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 which explains: why he sits in the Merc garage; went to Williams for testing purposes and then drove for them in the previous race.
He is on contract with Merc.
So with that in mind, would Toto be willing to give up a potential future Ham replacement? Surely retaining "owership" of De Vries via a Williams seat (Latifi) until Ham retires would make sense to Toto?
Yes it would, as long as he was guaranteed a spot on the team. He seems to be close to Wolff too so maybe that is the case.
That leaves the Alpine seat open then along with Williams if Latifi goes.

I am pretty certain wolf just said publicly that he believe De Vries deserve a seat next year. Almost like an open invitation to all teams.
