Default Ferrari sack their pit crew!!!

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 .
The decision to hire them followed a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the 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 Blair went on record as saying this was a bold move by the Ferrari management which demonstrated the international

recognition of the under New Labour. As most races are won and

lost in the pits, Ferrari thought they had the advantage over every team.

However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the first practice session, the pit crew successfully changed the tyres in less than 6 seconds, 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.
