Giancarlo Fisichella had an enjoyable warm-up for the San Marino weekend on Wednesday night. Along with some other stars of the Formula One firmament, he played in a charity soccer match. Held in the beautiful city of Sienna, Fisico joined forces with, amongst others, Michael Schumacher, Gabriele Tarquini, Ivan Capelli and the son of Ferrari President Montezemolo.

The racing drivers team beat a squad of top local players six goals to four and the DHL Jordan Honda man was on great form, hitting the back of the net three times to notch up a hat-trick of goals. Michael Schumacher banged in another one, in front of an 8000 strong crowd.
