The usual gross treachery from the team against Leclerc. Taking away the position from him and giving it to the teammate.
Bringing him in when it's too early then calling him in for an extra pit stop when not needed. Also wasting one position to Russel.

Ferrari needs to have a serious talk with Leclerc: Make it clear that his role until the end of the season is to help Hamilton as much as possible in the championship and GET OUT OF HIS WAY when Hamilton is clearly faster.
It's incredible how ridiculous Leclerc is, focusing so much on finishing ahead of his teammate at all costs, even giving up on battling with other drivers, just to have fresher tires at the end so he can attack his teammate, as I've seen him do many times in other races.
If he didn't want to go through this humiliation of becoming a wingman, he shouldn't have had 5 bad races in a row at the beginning of the season, throwing away points while Hamilton was consistently scoring points.
Mercedes has already turned Russell into Antonelli's wingman with McLaren's improvement. That's what differentiates a serious team from a joke of a team like ours.
