Positive news (and The absolute best approach!) from the F1 champ following the flood of rumors about him after both Sophie Trudeau and Idris Elba, who he was with a charity event before traveling to Australia, tested positive.

Meanwhile, my behind neighbours have just started up the braai and the stereo and are having a fucking party with a bunch of kids running around the garden. :man_facepalming:t2:

Not my favorite song, but I thought it was appropriate
