I mean, Mercedes have let their drivers race to pretty crazy entertaining and also disastrous results in the past so I don't think we can really fault them for it now that they have extra-team competition. Yeah when Rosberg and Hamilton crashed in Catalunya you still knew Mercedes were winning their titles, but imagine having that in your pretty recent racing history while now fighting Ferrari? This still all kind of boils down to a lot of Bottas shit luck at the start of the season so unfortunately he doesn't have to points to stick up for himself, but at the same time it feels like he's owed a win. Hopefully it comes to him in future seasons.
