I think Vettel is playing a really dangerous game here.
"We are looking into Plan C."
Plan... Charles?
Lap 10/53
Sebastian Vettel is now sprinting away, sending in a fastest lap. For a second race in a row, Charles Leclerc's chances of winning could be hampered by his own team.
"It's time to close the gap, he's 1.4 sec behind.
"You are the fastest car on track, head down you are doing well."

What are they doing! They didn't need to manipulate the start like that they would have always been side by side like that.

Kayleigh: Oh stop it. Stop manufacturing results. If Charles wants to win, he’ll have to race for it. Good good good. Keep your place Seb! Love this from Seb tbh
So, a quick recap. Charles Leclerc, apparently following team orders, lets Sebastian Vettel through from third on the first lap in order to block off Lewis Hamilton.
Ferrari is saying Vettel should now move aside to give the lead back to Leclerc, Vettel is refusing to do so at the moment.

This is an absolute shocker of management by Ferrari!
"Let Charles by."
SV: "No, two laps to close."
"You put me behind - I respected that. The gap's too big now. We talk after the race."

Vettel now leading the grand prix, doesn't want to get out of the way of his team-mate.
Mutiny at Ferrari....
Chris: Love a race with team politics playing out live in front of us. Wish we had all the Ferrari team radio - am sure discussions are taking place!
Lap 7/53
"I would have passed him anyway, but let's break away for another few laps."
Lap 7/53
Sebastian Vettel's not too happy though...
"And Sebastian will let you by next lap."

Tracey Pankhurst: I don’t understand Ferrari’s decision in this race! I would’ve thought they’d favour the driver with the most points not the one who is behind! Absolute madness!
David Worthington: #bbcf1 will vettle play ball he didnt when he was at red bull
Yesssssssssssssssss. Let's have another one of those moments to make things spicy!
Lap 6/53
As expected, Kimi Raikkonen is under investigation for that jump start.
