The Ferrari F1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday.
This announcement followed Ferrari's decision to
take advantage of the
British government's 'Work for the Dole' scheme and employ some Belfast
youngsters.
The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on
how unemployed youths from the Short Strand area 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
team as most races are won and lost in the pits, giving Ferrari an
advantage over every other team.
However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for! At the crew's first
practice session, not only was the young pit crew able to change all
four wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12
seconds they had
re-sprayed, re-badged and sold the car to the Mclaren team for 8 cases
of Stella, a bottle of Buckfast, a bag of weed and some photos of
Coulthard's bird in the shower.
