Verstappen seemed agitated in his post race interview at Spa yesterday. I think he sees the same pattern that Vettel and Webber had a few years ago where one driver had good cars and mechanics and the other got leftovers and DNF's. I don't see any openings in better teams for him until there is a spot at Ferrari or Mercedes.
Perez and Ocon will not be teammates next year. Perez brings sponsorship but Ocon brings Mercedes. Looks like Perez might be out.
Alonso... I have read that he might be at either Renault or Force India. Verstappen is the key. If Verstappen somehow gets the keys to the kingdom at Mercedes (Bottas doesn't have a contract yet) then the seat at Red Bull will be open. The disgust that Alonso had over the radio at Spa was telling. His interview after his race was more telling. He likes McLaren, but they are saddled with Honda. Alonso could either be at Renault, Force India, Red Bull (depending on Verstappen) or Williams next year. Either Force India or Williams will give him Mercedes power. If McLaren somehow get Renault power for 2018, then he might stay.
