Ferrari's new pit team.
The Ferrari formula 1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday.
The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the UK
government's youth opportunity scheme and employ 'young adults' from
Liverpool.
The decision to hire them was brought on a recent documentary on how
unemployed youths from the Liverpool area were able to remove a set of
wheels in less than 6 Seconds without proper equipment, whereas
Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of
euros worth of high tech equipment.
Prime Minister, Tony Blair, went on record as saying this was a bold
move by the Ferrari management, which demonstrated the international
recognition of the UK under new labour.
As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari now have the
advantage over every team. However, Ferrari may have got more than they
bargained for.
At the crews first practice session the Liverpool pit crew successfully
changed the tyres in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had
re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8
bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of Coulthard's bird
in the shower.
