NEWS FLASH
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 people from
Liverpool.
The decision to hire them was brought on by 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.
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 an advantage over every team.
However, Ferrari may have got more than they
bargained for.....At the crew's first practice
session, the Scouse pit crew successfully changed
the tyres in under 6 seconds, and then 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.
