It's in the race Hamilton was clearly outperforming Bottas.

A sign that Hamilton's racecraft, as opposed to outright pace, is where his talent really lies?

I guess Hamilton's side of the garage is doing something right! Be it him, his engineers or all of the above. Someone who has more time on their hands could do statistical analysis between the two drivers in the same team for a given race to see what is going on (pros and cons of each driver). I am sure the teams do that anyhow. Of course leading from the front gives you more chances to have a cleaner and less obstructed race (even if everyone has to deal with traffic).
