From a potential Ferrari 1-2, the situation has suddenly devolved to a Mercedes 1-2. Charles Leclerc was hollering for Ferrari to swap him and race leader Sebastian Vettel around. Vettel got a fantastic start from P3 to leapfrog Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.

However, Leclerc felt that he was hard done by, by the team and wanted Vettel to let him pass. However, Sebastian Vettel stood firm and was unwilling to move over for his younger teammate. Soon, the situation spontaneously combusted for Ferrari and Mercedes were there to pick up the pieces.
While both Mercedes leapfrogged Leclerc, Sebastian Vettel trundled to a halt with an MGU-K failure.
Oh dear…. Ferrari seem to have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ #RussianGP

Leclerc with a scruffy last sector after closing right up on Bottas and he blows his chance to really attack into Turn 2 on this lap. Hamilton now 3.4s clear, not looking good for Ferrari #F1 #RussianGP

Vettel's final message after he stops: "Bring back those fucking V12s" #F1 #RussianGP

What I don't get is that even if Leclerc had been told to tow Vettel and he'd get the position back later, just stop Leclerc first and give him the undercut? They've created a mess now by trying to sort it out on track.
