I agree with most of this. I do think Bottas has some skill and it is shadowed by overall circumstances.
To be fair though, I think HAM is an example of top notch skill and top notch chassis. If in a lesser chassis as in the past, wins wouldn't come so easy, but would likely still come.
BOT benefits from chassis to place him second, but has been given his spot based on the relationship with Toto (his manager).
Others on the grid would yield better results, but aren't given the chance for reasons stated above.
