But it amused me:
The Ferrari Formula 1 Team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The
announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the
British Government's "Work for the Dole" scheme and employ Liverpudlian chaps.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how
unemployed youths from Toxteth were able to remove a set of wheels in
less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high-tech
equipment.
It was thought to be an excellent, bold move by the Ferrari management.
As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage
over every team.
However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the crew's first
practice session, not only was the scouse pit crew able to change the
tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed,
re-badged and sold the vehicle over to the McLaren team for 8 cases of
Stella, a bag of skunk weed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in the
shower
