It was always inevitable that Ferrari would implement team orders between Charles LeClerc and Sebastian Vettel. LeClerc was ahead and losing touch with the Mercedes pair and Vettel was the faster of the two.

The Ferrari team radioed LeClerc advising him to go faster or else give the position to Vettel. The Monegasque driver promptly complied and let his senior teammate through to try and catch the Silver Arrows.

However, it seems that Vettel is not much faster than LeClerc and the gap to Mercedes is ever increasing. It actually begs the question, has the move backfired on Ferrari and how long until a Ferrari civil war?
