Caught in the Middle

You have this rookie / Michael Schumacher fanboy who is being tormented by his coworkers because it's just too much fun (ex. taking Vettel to a sex club in Canada until he gets flustered and leaves)

And you have this older guy with a cold, unfriendly reputation who got called "Schumacher's nightmare" who is one of those recognized talents bound to get a championship title.

The rookie and the iceman meet, and when Seb's coworkers try to get him drunk for laughs, Kimi puts his arm around his shoulders and takes the drinks for him.

I just can barely believe this is a thing that happened, and not something someone wrote as a fanfic.

Somehow the cold guy who is a sport's legend befriends the extroverted rookie, gives him lifts on his private jets and hangs out with him during their days off in Switzerland. They see each other become world champions, they see each other struggle, and when one retires the other - who is 8 years younger - can only last one more year in the sport before deciding it's not as fun as it used to be anymore.
