FIFTY EIGHT
Luiz Cohen was a loveable idiot.
Sebastian Vettel knew that much about his best friend and mentor, with the young German man struggling to contain his laughter at how the twenty five year old Luiz Cohen had somehow managed to steal or borrow as he called it, a donkey from a nearby shelter.
The man wasn't riding on it, of course, but he was happily walking alongside it, and even occasionally running alongside the animal with excitement that could only be described by the word childlike.
He was a massive kid, it was hilarious.
The two men and their pet donkey were on their way to meet their other friends, Kimi Raikonnen and Michael Schumacher, and they both couldn't actually wait to introduce the animal to them.
Mainly because Luiz had been determined to name the donkey after one of them, risking being punched in the face by the man so lucky to have a donkey named after him.
He had always wanted a pet growing up, but unfortunately with him having grown up in favelas for most of his childhood until his parents were able to move in to a house with two bedrooms, there was never a chance for him to own one.
He still wasn't allowed one even in adulthood, his wife Sara having refused him to bring any animal back in case that it attacked their young daughter, even though his daughter herself had also been begging for an animal to have as a pet.
He was tempted to make a stable in the garden of their family home to make their newest friend comfortable, and to make both his daughter and himself very happy, but he knew that Sara would kill him if he did so.
"Nice donkey, you've got there."
Michael Schumacher laughed as both Kimi and himself met up with the other two drivers, seeing the donkey tilting its head slightly as if it was trying to understand what he said, which of course, it wouldn't.
Because it was a donkey, and probably didn't speak English.
"Strange, it reminds me of somebody."
Kimi Raikonnen smirked as he made sure to stay away from the donkey, who looked incredibly muddy, his mouth staying shut as to who it reminded him of in case that it offended his best friend.
He didn't want to insult the Cohen's man wife to his face, after all.
Since Sara was not a nice person, Kimi always took it amongst himself to make the jokes whenever they would spot some ugly creature, joking that it had the same personality of the woman.
Luiz just rolled his eyes at the words leaving his best friends lips, figuring out that he was thinking about his wife, knowing that he had never liked her.
Not many people did.
"He's only gone and named it."
Sebastian Vettel laughed amongst his best friends, seeing their eyes widening slightly as his words fully registered inside of their heads, which quickly snapped to the Brazilian who was beaming with pride.
"Go on, what idiot did you name it after?" Kimi chuckled, whilst Michael had walked towards the donkey, stroking its fur with his hand, which the animal did actually seem to enjoy it.
