It has just been announced that the Ferrari Formula 1 Team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The action followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British Government's Work for the Dole Scheme and hire unemployed youths from Liverpool.
The decision was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed Scousers were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in eight seconds with millions of pounds worth of high-tec gear. As most F1 races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari are seen to now have a massive advantage over every other team.
This was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Ferrari management.
However Ferrari got more than they bargained for during the scouse crew's first practice session. Not only were they able to change the tyres in six seconds but within twelve seconds they had also resprayed, rebadged and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for four dozen cans of Special Brew, a gram of coke and a quick shuffty at Couthard's bird in the shower.
