“I didn’t hear Lewis say that and so I’m not going to comment because it’s easy for you to just invent something and so I’m not going to comment on that, and even if something like that was written – which I don’t know because I don’t read the media – then still, between what Lewis says and what’s written, so much can turn around so it’s better I don’t say anything and I know that Lewis wouldn’t say something like that, especially not to the press, maybe to me if he feels like it but not to the press.”

Q: (Christian Hoenicke – Der Tagesspiegel) Nico, do you think it was fair what Lewis said about you not being hungry as him because you were growing with boats and jets and all that stuff?

#oh I remember this!#he absolutely 100% knew it was real#no one ever played the game on nico’s level#in one deft move he avoided having to give a real comment while simultaneously outright saying that what lewis said was beyond the pale#all while pretending to take the high road#he took the bullets lewis fired at him and deflected them back through the press without having to lift a finger#a master of his craft#I’m not saying it didn’t hurt for real#especially back then when things weren’t completely burned to ash between them yet#but nico has always made the most of whatever hand he was dealt
