I think this is right. Bottas probably could have challenged Hamilton at the end but wasn't going to ruffle feathers in the team yet. Hamilton wouldn't have cared about that. Bottom line is that bottas looked competitive enough that he probably could have made a run and passed Hamilton late, which is encouraging for anyone thinking Hamilton could walk away with it this year or dominate his new teammate.
