In hindsight probably the best combination would have been one driver closing the gap, and then switch to have the other driver overtake Lando.
But no driver is gonna have his 3rd (and potentially 2nd or 1st) place taken away by such team orders.
I think he meant Hamilton has dedicated personal passing lanes on this track.
