I swear they always make team orders weird lately. It's not even about judgement calls on whether or not they are warranted, it's just always been awkward when they try to pull them off. It might just be the dynamic Bottas seems to allow, but when the Mercs did it last year or even just at Singapore it just goes down no fuss on track.

This could make for a really interesting team dynamic at Ferrari next year, because this seems to indicate that the team doesn't have a clear number one for sure now, and might even be willing to favor Leclerc more which may have finally lit a fire under Vettel.
