That's not very fair. Leclerc was not meant to stop again. And that strategy had a good chance of working, as he wasn't losing that much time to Vettel, and the tyres would've lasted. But when the SC was deployed it destroyed that strategy. It would've left Leclerc on Hards in a group of cars that were all on Mediums. Swapping him to the Mediums cost no real time because of the SC, but keeping him on the Hards was no longer viable.
They also moved Vettel our of Leclercs way early on. There was no favouritism.
