Nazionale Piloti lose pre-German GP match

The F1 drivers’ football team, the Nazionale Piloti, lost to a German representative XI at the Böllenfalltor stadion in Darmstadt yesterday. The team, which included Schumi, Seb Vettel and Nico Rosberg in its ranks, was on the wrong end of a 6-8 defeat.

Gotta love those 14-goal thrillers, but you know that Schumi will not be happy to lose a game in his native Germany - even if it was a charity game.

Fernando Alonso and pals play charity game before Turkish GP

Here’s Fernando Alonso getting stuck in during one of the regular charity football matches played by the F1 drivers’ XI. The Nazionale Piloti, as the team is known, played a team of Turkish All-Stars in Istanbul last night, ahead of this weekend’s GP. Alonso scored a goal, as did Giancarlo Fisichella, but we couldn’t find out the actual result - not that it matters to anyone except the ultra-competitive drivers, who clearly would rather be making millions out on the pitch than in the cockpit.
