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 followed 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.
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 thought they had the
advantage over every team.
However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for. At the first practice
session, the Liverpool pit crew successfully changed the tyres in less
than 6 seconds, but 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.

Hahahaha... Nice one.
I do like F1. Nothing like getting in from church on a Sunday, the sun shining, and sticking the old F1 on the tele. Aaahhh.. good times.

It's horribly old, but it's still funny.
Haha, nice :)
Jings you nearly had me with that one! for a moment I thought it was true!
That reminds me. Whilst I was walking to the Bus Station this morning, I heard this horrible slapping ad thunking sound coming down the main road, but couldn't see what was going on. As I emerged from the bushes which were blocking my view of the road, I saw a car pull up, it's front wing completely trashed and a tyre literally in pieces. It quickly parked in the exit to a car park and two Asian Youths jumped out and ran off. I considered calling the police, but was already late for work.
First time I've ever seen anything like that.

Its quite humourous.
But late.
The rules have changed, they don't change tyres at pitstops anymore.

Yes, most agreed. That is possibly one of the most humourous little anecdotes I have heard.
