“I feel first of all guilty,” he added. “I don't know whether it's a conscious thing or whatever, but I just feel pretty bad if I play around and ha🀅ve a distraction after 𝔍I have a bad race.
“Maybe it's good,ܫ but it will be just for me. It will be just temporary. I thought about everything - what I can improve in the ♛future.
