same man that said “this man knows lewis hamilton: friends, teammates, childhood buddy, rival, everything but a lover” about brocedes

I know the whole forgetting to pit thing isn't real but it's too funny not to include

Crofty: I think we will be getting some news about Adrian Newey next week.

Nico: And what will that news look like, Crofty?

Crofty: I don't know, Nico.

That gave me heart palpitations. I feel CRAZY.

Here's a full transcript:

DC (On Toto Wolff and Zac Brown missing Christian): Your yin needs and yang, Nico, I would say on that one, so in most respects I think they probably are.

NR: It's like Senna and Prost, who suddenly, when Prost retired, Senna realised, 'Oh damn, I hate that guy, but I actually want him to be here.' And they became best friends afterwards

DC: Well, your world championship win in 2016, would you look back on that so fondly now if it hadn't have been Lewis Hamilton that you beat, who was your teammate and your big rival at the time?

NR: No, of course not, that really made uh- was a big part of it for sure, so you are right, in that sense.

DC: So do you miss Lewis now?

NR: Uh (laughs nervously)

DC: (unintelligible) just ask the question-

NR: uh- I- I'm okay, I'm okay

DC: Are you still next-door neighbours?

NR: We uh-, we live in the same building, yeah, so we catch up from time to time. But we have a very nice, mutual relationship now UM-

DC and MB: "A very nice mutual relationship...."

NR: Moving on-

DC: Have you- has he still got your safe? Was it when he first moved in, you put his- your little safe in his apartment?

NR: The other way, he put his safe in our apartment.

DC: Yeah, you looked after the jewellery for a bit.

NR: I was considering whether I should kind of like I should forget where I put it when he next asked for it but then I did give it back.

MB: When I was driving for McLaren and you two kids, were karting at the time, came in and terrorised the motorhome, you were so annoying as kids, you and Lewis, running 'round the place

NR: Yes, uh-

MB: Causing havoc, I've always wanted to tell you that actually.

DC to MB: And there you were trying to have a nice quiet moment.

MB: Well me and Nico have a mutual relationship, as of now anyway.

NR: The worst was the hotel rooms we left behind because we shared a hotel room for two years. Uh and we would have- like- wrestling competitions (laughs) in the hotel room. They (the hotel rooms) would not look- they wouldn't be at their best afterwards.

DC: Bit like rock and roll on tour was it?

NR: Yes yes yes

DC: Sometimes I love a rain delay because you get the sort of information we never actually expected to get when you came into work that day.

..... after some talk about the weather .....

NR: Is there any way- I just got sent this funny picture of Lewis and I as thirteen-year-olds, is there any way for me to get that on screen or?
