For clarification purposes, Lewis wasn’t called to pit under VSC on lap 39. Leclerc was.
Shortly after the VSC Hamilton was reminded he was on Plan B and they were getting close to his pit stop. That was when he made the call to stay out in the hopes that another VSC would be deployed.
I believe that’s the call he is apologising for.

When Lewis Hamilton said, “Let’s not waste time,” he was told to “hold on” to his position but when Charles Leclerc said, “Let’s not waste time,” his teammate was expected to give up the position. Remember this race.
