I think both Vettel and Hamilton have demonstrated multiple times that they are quicker drivers than their team mates. Getting past is however not just a matter of speed and carries a fair amount of risk so I think it makes sense to give team orders.
Having said that I see Hamilton has just agreed a huge two year deal and given how co-operative Bottas was, I do wonder if Hamilton now has a contractual number one driver status?
