do you really think a diffrent Driver would be Faster?
It has happened many times before (in recent years mainly the two Red Bull teams), but the replacement driver is rarely a worthwhile improvement in the remaining part of the season... it tends to be more about making sure next year is as good as it can be (because the 'new' driver has more experience).

Riccardo doesn't want to be in the same team as Max, so wont be going back to Red Bull (he'd rather be the big fish in a smaller pond), but under the right circumstances he'd probably consider another team.
Alonso is busy elsewhere with the McLaren team, and as their current drivers are doing very well (go Lando!) he wouldn't come back with them, and based on his reputation about dealing with teams he is very unlikely to drive for anyone else.
I'm sure that there are several other drivers ready to step in to any team that wants them, but some are limited due to engine allegiances (such as Ocon, who is basically stuck with Mercedes powered teams, which is why he isn't racing this year).
