Modena, Italy:
The Ferrari F1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The
announcement was followed by Ferrari's decision to take advantage of
the English government's "Work For the Dole" scheme and hire unemployed
youths from Liverpool.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how
unemployed youths in Liverpool were able to remove a set of car wheels
in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's
existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds using all the latest tools.
This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari
management. As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari would
have an advantage over every team.
However, Ferrari expectations were easily exceeded as, during the
crew's first practice session, not only were "da boyz from Bootle" able
to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had
resprayed and rebadged it and had sold the vehicle over to the McLaren
team for four dozen Stellas and 200 ciggies.
