As for team orders this season. I'm assuming it's race eachothers brains out and may the best man win but make sure you're not taking undue risks that put the constructors at risk or losing one or both cars on a stupid dive bomb.
I thought Lando did quite well today being aggressive on Russell both times today. And did well enough being a strong deterrent/defender against Oscar and Max in Australia.
Early indications he's learned to expect anything from those he is racing against team mate or not, and to get his elbows up.

Trying to chase down Oscar in his own wounded car (and making very little progress), instead of managing down his 8 second gap to Russell. It sounded pretty sketchy by the end, but we'll never know how critical it actually was.
I thought the first message about brake problems was with Oscar, but I'm probably just wrong on that.
The thing to remember with those chase down attempts - especially on the leader - is that they're almost always able to just punch out some more pace as soon as it becomes necessary. It's futile against the same car with the same age tires.
Also, oh Ferrari.
