mercury is now 1 au from earth and its further away from the sun then ever it defenetly changed orbit if you dont belive instal stellarium something verry wierd is atracting oure planets also jupiter is also closer to earth then ever before recorded
True, but they are very close to circular. To get a stereotypical elliptical shape, you need to look at an orbit with an eccentricity close to 1, like a comet's orbit.
Let us calculate how noncircular Mercury's orbit is. Its eccentricity e = 0.206, and its minor axis is sqrt(1-e^2) = 0.979 times its major axis, meaning that its vertical axis is only a few pixels shorter than its horizontal axis. So it's hard to see unless you measure it with an image editor.

Sorry but all planetary orbits in the solar system are elliptical

FAKE planetary orbits are ellipses not circles
