“It’s horrible to see what’s going onexplained the quadruple world champion. Obviously, if you look at the calendar, we have a race planned in Russia. If I speak for myself, I think I shouldn’t go so I won’t. I think we shouldn’t drive in this country. I’m really sorry for all those innocent people who die for stupid reasons, because of some weird decisions of a crazy leader.“.
