F1 - Team Orders

[rev-erend]

So, does anyone have any opinions ( .. this is pistonhead's right) about
which teams will invoke team orders.

Will Ferrari for instance let Leclerc win races with Vettel behind him?

Said it before on here that if I ran a team I would choose a number one and two right from the start of the season. It's madness to me to let them fight each other with the amount of money at stake. The more equal the drivers are the madder is it as they're in the same car so at best they're going to take points off each other and at worst they're going to constantly crash with each other.

In reality I don't think we'll see any obvious team orders until gaps start to show in the points.

Ferrari have already said Vettel is number 1....leclerc needs to do a Hamilton from 2007 and put pressure on Vettel from the outset if he has a chance

The top three from last year will have a clear pecking order:

Merc: Hamilton / Bottas - Bottas would have to have a blinder of a start to not be expected to step aside
Ferrari: Vettel / Leclerc - as above; Leclerc needs to get up to speed quickly to repeat DRs year with Vettel.
Red Bull: Verstappen / Gasly - they will try and argue it isn't that way, but clearly as far as Marko is concerned MV is the next golden child, so there will be obvious and not so obvious favouritism.

The most interesting one, potentially, is Renault: The Hulk vs smiley Dan. Not totally sure how that will play out as both seem to be able to turn it on at times, suspect Dan will prevail.
