Formula 1 Team sacked its 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 Liverpool area were able to remove a set of
Wheels in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas
Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in eight 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
Crew's' first practice session the Liverpool pit crew successfully
Changed the tyres in under six seconds, but within 12 seconds they had
Re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren Team for
Eight bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of Coulthard's
Bird in the shower..............
