“But I have tried to be really♋ respectful over the years and for example, when youꦫ've ever asked me about who has been the better driver for me, I've always tried to give praise. 

"It'ℱs definitely interesting to see th🌸e comments that are made, but it doesn't really matter. So that's why I just gave the thumbs up.”
