Numerous overtakes attempted and made cleanly on the end of the main straight during the race wherein the driver being passed on the inside kept their line.
In any case, the Williams had no business overtaking the Mercedes but that's what happens when you have Russell and Bottas as the drivers.
In any case, Bottas clearly underperformed in this race.

Go to the 20th second and you can see that there is ample room for RUS and that BOT is sighting the next turn. I don't have a dog in this fight...I think it was a racing incident caused by youth, inexperience and a little red mist. Once his right rear is on the grass at that velocity, it all ends in tears as we all plainly saw.
