"That’s how it should be, I think, and that’s what we continue to do, because it’s not our business. We are not particularly involved in that and we are pౠaid to do our job and that’s what we love doing, so that’s what we focus on.”

“So that’s what I’m also dealing with. I speak to Christian a lot, and also of course throughout the weekend h🌠ere. He is fully committed to the team. He’s also here for the performance.

“Of course pro🔜bably a little bit distracted but like I said before we all focus on the performance side of things and that’s how we all work t෴ogether.”
