!! Ferrari Pit Crew !!
>
> 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 a group of
> lads from Glasgow.
>
> The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on
> how unemployed youths from The Gorbals 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 were the Gorbals 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 bottles of Buckfast, a bag of weed and some
> nude photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower.
