Leclerc's Spa win was handily assisted by Vettel being difficult to overtake, and I don't think that Vettel's blocking of Hamilton in the final lap of Q3 hurt too much either.
On a separate note Leclerc and Vettel seem to have good chemistry, so they may be able to push each other and also contribute to one another's success. Perhaps Vettel's Ferrari tenure is not as limited as some think. ?

Being a Ferrari favourite driver with Leclerc there is going to be difficult for anyone who doesn't speak Italian, did you see the podium interview where he answered Brundle's question in Italian? 100% fluency there!
