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 employed 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 Liverpool 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 kilogram of speed and some
photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower.
