The poll, published by motorsport.com on
Thursday, put four times world champion Hamilton far ahead of
closest rival Max Verstappen.
Bottas, winner of three races this year after joining as
now-retired 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg's replacement, was
listed in 10th place after bosses awarded points according to
the regular F1 scoring system.
That represented a drop of one place on where Bottas had been
with Williams in 2016.
Hamilton scored 233 out of a maximum 250, with Red Bull's
Verstappen on 143. Ferrari's 2017 championship runner-up
Sebastian Vettel, also a four times champion, was third and Red
Bull's Daniel Ricciardo fourth.
Force India's Mexican Sergio Perez dropped out of the top 10
entirely but his French team mate Esteban Ocon made his entry in
fifth place, one ahead of McLaren's double world champion
Fernando Alonso.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Renault's Carlos Sainz tied in
seventh place with Renault's Nico Hulkenberg a new entry at
ninth.
