Maybe because for Ferrari Seb is No 1 and Kimi number 2 ...... Furthermore Seb is the driver for the future and Kimi will certainly ends his career at season end unless Marchjone offers him a new contract. Sad but this isn how it is
Then, be honest with him. Since the beginning. Don't tell "we give to our drivers the same opportunities" if they have already choosen their n.1. At least, Kimi doesn't have to stress himself for making poles and fastest laps and we can save us from useless illusions.

You're perfectly correct Ferrari play a nasty game. I read in various papers today that Kimi is terribly upset and going to ask what game Ferrari plays as far as his pit stop is concerned. But see how his "friend" Seb reacts ! he is on the podium with champagne smiling and waving the crowd when Kimi stands just behind him with a sad and upset face without Seb has a gesture towards his so called "friend"
Lewis Hamilton was emphatic in the aftermath of the Monaco Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel beat Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen to victory and extended his lead over Hamilton to 25 points in the Formula 1 world championship. But Hamilton was left in no doubt as to the reason Vettel won this race, coming from behind at a circuit where overtaking is near-impossible.
"It's clear to me Ferrari have chosen their number one driver, so they're going to be pushing everything to make sure Sebastian will get the maximum on all of his weekends," Hamilton said. "With the strategy, it's very hard for the leading car to get jumped by the second car unless the team decide to favour the other car, so that's very clear."
