Yeah you're probably right.
I suppose that he realized that holding the outside was going to loose momentum at the exit of turn 1 by either being pushed off the track or having to back off the throttle. Better to brake earlier in the corner and get a good exit than trying to maintain an unsavable position and run the chance to get caught by the Red Bull and/or the Mercedes up to turn 2.
By doing so he gave them a good scare and both Ferraris were able to hold their position.
