The Ferrari F1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. This
announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British
government's 'Work for the Dole' scheme and employ some Liverpudlian
youngsters. The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent
documentary on how unemployed youths from Toxteth were able to remove a set
of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, Whereas
Ferrari's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of
pounds worth of high tech equipment. It was thought to be an excellent,
bold move by the Ferrari management team as most races are won and lost in
the pits, giving Ferrari an advantage over every other team.
However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for! At the crew's first
practice session, not only was the scouse pit crew able to change all four
wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed,
re-badged and sold the car to the Mclaren team for 8 cases of Stella, a bag
of weed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower.
