No, he pressed it for the warm up, correctly turned it off, then accidently turned it back on for an upshift, throwing all the the brakes to the front wheels. Mad really, but it has got to that point where the cars are so complicated to drive it was a matter of time until something like this happened.
It dawns on him around 3 mins into this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQA3xc9hI6k
On the Bottas stuff - surely this is the ideal time to get rid of him. Russell comes in as defacto number 2, so easy to give team orders when needed. Also, if it's clear that Russell / Hamilton are going to be a serious match for each other, they have plenty of time to try and put in some ground rules to mitigate an early season flair up that you could get if Russel starts at Race 1 next year.

I thought I read somewhere that it wasn't that he pressed the button by accident on the lap but a button that he hadn't turned off from the warm up.
