I can't imagine Ferrari would favour Seb over Kimi.  Based on merchandise and fan reaction at the Canadian race Kimi is the man.

The Lotus merchandise tents were selling Kimi stuff!

It's an honest mistake which leads me to wonder how F1 teams are making such big mistakes.  RBR going from top to solid mid pack.  Mercedes fumbling strategy and only winning because of design.  Williams showing up like Jekyll and Hyde. McLaren 'looking like amateurs'.

Is the competition so close that a mere moment of indecision is the difference between top 5 and bottom 5?  Are the teams so tangled in corporate interests that they can't make split second decisions?  Are the people in charge simply not qualified?

He's worried that following the Fangio exhumation a cloning will be accomplished, and Ferrari will offer the new Fangio a ride in time for Spa!

It's not just Vettel. Ferrari has a long history of being a "one driver & the other guy" team. Kimi seems to have fallen afoul of that.

In the cut throat world of F1 Ferrari treats their drivers as
badly as any team.

Rueben's forced out
Michael forced out
Kimi forced out
Massa forced out
Alonso....who knows what happened
Kimi probably forced out again

Seems like with the passing of Enzo Ferrari treated their
drivers like crap

Actually, they are carrying on in the Enzo tradition. Ferrari was notorious for his "I have given you the best car, why aren't you winning?" attitude. Phil Hill left Ferrari partly because he couldn't stand dealing with Enzo.

Except the time they built an entire decade around Michael Schumacher.

I think their problem is they keep expecting to find the best driver as a solution, forgetting the team really was built around him.  They didn't just have the best driver, but they had the best designers, strategists, factory workers, pit stop men, everything.

Very good point, that team is now scattered round the paddock or not even part of the paddock.

Probably because that was also the time Jean Todt decided the solution to their problems was to buy the core of Bennetton (which was usually as driver-friendly team at its core... ...probably as a counter-reaction to Flavio Briatore's distinctly driver-unfriendly approach!)
