Formula One First XI

[RasputinLives]

Just read this article:

http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/...gpupdate&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=news

and it seems a strange combination of players. Its not the 2 GP2 drivers being drafted in that confuses me but the fact that 50 year old Emanuele Pirro makes an appearence. Although he is a driver steward so maybe they are buttering him up.

Bit surprised their is no Schumie in there but I bet he's a bit of a goal hanger.

So what positions do we reckon they'll play. Massa has to be at the back right?

 

[Brogan]

You mean right back, surely?

Webber will probably play on the wing, after his performance at Valencia.

Rosberg will be a defender, pushing attackers off the pitch.

If you want me to make an F1 themed football team, I shall... Also, I will if you don't!

1. Kamui Kobayashi (Goalkeeper)

Proved in Canada he can make a great save.​

​

2. Narain Karthikeyan (Right Back)

Well, he's in an HRT​

​

3. Pedro de la Rosa (Left Back)

Ditto.​

4. Nico Rosberg (Centre Back)

Prone to a bit of physicality needed by the best centre backs, as Brogan says!​

​

5. Canadian GP Marshal (Sweeper)

The position is a little out of fashion, but then so is sweeping the track with brooms.​

​

6. Felipe Massa (Defensive Midfielder)

7. Sebastian Vettel (Right Wing)

Because Red Bull gives him the right wing!​

​

8. Jenson Button (Central Midfielder)

He passes a lot.​

​

9. Kimi Raikkonen (False Nine)

He always seems to challenge for the F1 title when in car #9, so it is a bit false!​

​

10. Lewis Hamilton (Attacking Midfielder)

Also passes a lot, but starts a little bit forward of Button, in the hope he won't impede Massa​

​

11. Mark Webber (Left Wing)

When Seb gets his wing, the one that's left goes to Mark.​

​

 

[Cookinflatsix]

And Buemi and Heidfeld are the subs, and just leaving sick bay is Kubica

 

[teabagyokel]

Subs? How about:

12: Charles Pic (Reserve Goalkeeper)

Like any reserve goalie, right at the back and not getting a proper opportunity​

​

13: Christian Horner (Defender)

Always defending his team from allegations of lying, but willing to go to the other end at corners (specifically W-Duct corners)...​

​

14: Adrian Sutil (Offensive Midfielder)

15: Nelsinho Piquet (Utility Player)

Handy to have in your team because he'll do anything to ensure the team's success - even to his own detriment.​

​

16: Pastor Maldonado (Left or Right Winger)

As a friend of Chavez, he's bound to be a left winger, but he still buying his seat off the back of a corporation...​

 

[Fenderman]

Adrian Sutil (Offensive Midfielder)

Guys if anyone wants a link for this match i'll post it on my Members status, so Bro and team don't get this thread clogged with links.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Forgot about Sakon Yamamoto the John O'Shea type player, will play anywhere
