Very few front end teams operate an even handed policy that lets their drivers race themselves without hinderance or favouring one driver over the other. The old Nos 1 and Nos 2 setup is fading from F1 as a result of Mercedes. We see in other teams that typically operate the old model adopting the Mercedes style which has allowed Kyvat to take the fight to Ricciado and Bottas to emerge from the shadow of a more experienced Massa.

The Mercedes era is a beautiful one from this perspective in my opinion.
It most certainly helps that rules are so that they don't really need to worry for a few years about other teams. In these circumstances it's easy not to favor one of the driver. If Ferrari or another will challenge them in the future more seriously we will see if they will stick to it.
