“He’s had his fair share of giving movꩵes like that and being tough and hard at racing. It’s a little bit poor to see how he sort of spat his dummy out when it was the first time he probably got something back in the same regard. 

“From my side there was nothing really to say. I thought it w💜as good racing, exciting racing. That’s the only thing that happened that weekend, it was pretty boring otherwise! 

“We♒’re both drivers, we’ve be🍷en in the sport a long time now and we have plenty of experience. We’ll have a chat and move on. And I guess we’ll laugh about it one day.”
