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 race, 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. |

yeah fun but also kinda stupid since there aren't no tyre changes anymore during the races in formula 1. One of the new rules for this season. |

yeah but doesn't a joke normally makes kind of sence before being funny. It would have worked better, if he was talking about the american Indy or Nascar races, because they still change tyres in there. |

Just for you Mostertman.
The Dallara INDY car team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The announcement followed Dallara’s decision to take advantage of the USA Government's Youth Opportunity Scheme and employ people from Brooklyn NY.
The decision to hire them followed a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Brooklyn area were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Dallara’s existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of Dollars worth of high tech equipment.
President Bush went on record as saying this was a bold move by the Dallara’s management, which demonstrated the international recognition of the USA government.
As most races are won and lost in the pits, The Dallara team thought they had the advantage over every team.
However, Dallara got more than they bargained for. At the first race, the Dallara 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 Red Bull Cheever Racing team for 8 bottles of Bud, a kilo of crack and some photos of Alex Barron’s bird in the shower.
Did you laugh at that one?  |
