“If ༺you were pushing at the beginning, it was worse for me.”
Bagnaia: “I pushed the whole race because…

Martin: “Because you used the tyres more. I never opened th🎐e throttle.”
Bagnaia: “You could have used the soft.”
Martin: “Are you crazy? You gave me🌳 three seconds.
“When I saw you on the out🐟side I thought ‘No! This is too much!’
“I would have been embarrassed.”
