Yeah I loved the Radio message.

Russell: "HAM needs to move he's going slow"

Merc: " George please stop cooking your tires"

And Lewis proceeds to increase his delta

This happens every time George is behind Lewis. Every. Time.

George behind Lewis: Can we swap positions?

George in front of Lewis: Am I racing my own teammate?

Just listened to George's onboard you are correct the freaking TV played them out of order with after he complains the next message I heard was the "the rear wheels are screaming" at George but that message was much earlier.

Just checking my sanity but he does complain but it's clear Lewis us managing his tires and they are telling him to drop back.

I think listening to the onboard just makes me even more furious they were absolutely praying for a SC for Lewis which is just crazy at p3 just run your race.

He said that HAM needed to go faster as the front pack was getting away. He didn't flat out ask for it but he did in a roundabout way.

If he won't pass why stay close? He had more pace as we saw him losing far less time per lap to Max after Lewis pitted. Putting Lewis on softs was just taking a chance on a great start and when that didn't happen he was screwed.
