So far up himself he can see no wrong!

Well the context was actually Alpine making him swap places with Gasly right at the end and then not swapping them back. Ocon did no wrong and was a team player in Canada. Alpine make a mess of the situation though.
Transcript.
--------------------------------
Engineer : Esteban, we have to let Pierre through, please. Gap behind him two seconds to Hulkenberg.
Ocon : What's the reason?
Engineer : We need to try and attack Ricciardo.
Ocon : Yeah, forget it!
Engineer : Okay, that is a request. Got three laps to go.
Ocon : Are you giving the place back after or not?
Engineer : That's what I'm working on
Ocon : Okay, I let him by. Understood.
Engineer : Esteban, the cars are not swapping places. Push to the end, please.
Ocon : Yeah, amazing. Thank you, amazing. Thank you
Engieer : OK, radio is still on.
Ocon : OK, mate. Yeah, yeah, you're good. OK. Yeah, OK. No comments. Too nice. Too nice. OK, mate.
Engieer : OK, listen. We still came 10th. We've still got a point, OK? It's a long way to go yet. OK, I know, I know, I know. I know it's frustrating.
Ocon : I've done what I had to do, which is the most important, but you guys didn't do what you had to do. That's it.
Engineer : What I'll say is we came P10 and we started right at the back with very little hope of getting anything out of this. And most of that is down to the fact that you drove very well and kept a cool head through difficult conditions. So you should be very pleased with yourself for that. And thank you for doing that as well
Ocon : Thank you. Yeah, happy to be working with you guys too, Dave and Josh. Very happy.
Ocon : Thanks for supporting. Thanks for supporting.
Engineer : Sorry mate, long way to go. Another 15 races, yeah.

This was before Canada, but Russell and Hamilton are the 2nd most closely matched pairing after McLaren, in spite of him being 7-1 ahead at the time.
Such tiny margins, only about half a tenth.
Shows how promising Piastri is as well. If he can improve his race pace, he's going to start giving Norris a run for his money.
It's also clear to see either how good Max is or how awful Perez is, as they have the largest average difference.
Mark Hughes: The theories behind Hamilton's qualifying defeats
Much has been made of George Russell being 7-1 up in qualifying against Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes this season - but how much of an edge has Russell actually had, and why?
