Asked for his🦩 opinion after finishing second behind Verstappen in Sunday's Mexico City Grand Prix, a smiling Hamilton said: “I gave you it. That🤡's my thumbs up. 

"I don't really have a lot to say about it, iꦗt does make me giggle a little 🐈bit to be honest. 

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

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