The Ferrari Formula 1 Team sacked its entire pit crew yesterday. The
announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the UK

unemployed youths from Liverpool area were able to remove a set of wheels
in less than six seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's
existing crew can only do it in eight seconds with millions of euros worth

won and lost in the pits, Ferrari now have the advantage over every team.
However, Ferrari may have got more than they bargained for. At the crew's
first practice session the Liverpool pit crew successfully changed the
tyres in under six seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed,
re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren Team for eight bottles of
Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of Coulthard's bird i
