The Ferrari formula 1 Team have fired their entire pit crew.
The announcement followed Ferrari\'s decision to take advantage of the
government\'s \"Get Back to Work\" scheme and employ people from Newcastle.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how
unemployed youths from the Newcastle 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 pounds worth of
high tech gear.
It was thought to be an excellent, yet 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 were the Geordie pit crew able to change the
tyres in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had resprayed,
re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of Bud and
some photos of former driver Coulthard\'s bird in the shower.
